Welcome to Church Family Dentistry.

transforming the dental experience in Durham by combining advanced technology with genuine patient care

Church Family Dentistry & Cosmetics is a family dental practice in Durham, NC serving patients of all ages — from first cleanings to implants, cosmetic dentistry, and everything in between. Dr. Will Church completed his training at UNC School of Dentistry and holds active membership in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He uses advanced cone beam 3D imaging and digital smile design technology to plan care precisely and show you what results will look like before any treatment begins.

We are a fee-for-service, out-of-network practice. That means no insurance contracts limiting your options, no rushed appointments, and no generic treatment plans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of adults over 30 have some form of gum disease — consistent preventive care is the most effective way to stay ahead of it. Whether you need a routine cleaning or are considering dental implants, porcelain veneers, or Candid Pro clear aligners, we welcome new patients and are accepting appointments now.

Dr. Will Church, DDS

Advanced Dental Care with a Personal Touch

Dr. Will Church completed his training at UNC School of Dentistry and holds active membership in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). He came to dentistry because he loves solving complex problems with his hands — and what keeps him invested is the human side of the work. Before any treatment plan is discussed, he wants to understand your goals, your concerns, and what you have noticed about your own smile. That conversation shapes everything that comes after.

Unlike practices that move patients through on a schedule and hand them a list on the way out, Dr. Church takes time to make sure you actually understand what he is seeing, why it matters, and what your options are. You are part of the decision, not just the recipient of it. Learn more about Dr. Church’s background and philosophy.

Our Vision

Listen first, understand your goals, and provide personalized treatment that puts your comfort and oral health above all else.

Church Family Dentistry & Cosmetics was built around a simple but often overlooked idea: that patients do better when they are actually heard. Dr. Church takes time to understand your goals before recommending anything. That means no treatment checklists handed to you on your way out, no unnecessary procedures, and no surprises.

Our practice uses advanced cone beam 3D imaging — a diagnostic capability most general dental offices do not have — alongside digital smile design technology that lets you preview cosmetic results before committing to treatment. We are a fee-for-service practice located near Duke Regional Hospital, accepting new patients from across Durham and the Research Triangle. If your family is ready to establish care with a practice that treats you like more than a name on a schedule, we would love to meet you. Schedule your appointment today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What advanced technology do you use?

We use cone beam 3D imaging, digital X-rays, and digital smile design technology to provide precise, comfortable treatment. Cone beam imaging gives Dr. Church a three-dimensional view of your teeth, roots, and surrounding bone — a level of diagnostic detail that most general dental offices do not have. This allows him to identify concerns earlier, plan treatments more accurately, and explain findings clearly. For cosmetic cases, digital smile design lets you preview your results before any permanent changes are made.
We are an out-of-network, fee-for-service practice. That means we are not contracted with insurance companies — but we do file PPO claims on your behalf and work to maximize whatever benefits your plan provides. We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans. The only exceptions are Medicaid, Tricare, and VA coverage. For treatment costs beyond what insurance covers, financing is available through Cherry, Sunbit, and Proceed, and we accept HSA and FSA funds for any qualifying procedure. Our team will verify your benefits before your appointment so you know exactly what to expect.
Call our office at (919) 220-6553 or use the contact form on our website to request an appointment. Our office hours are Monday 7:30 AM–5:00 PM, Tuesday 7:30 AM–3:30 PM, Wednesday 7:30 AM–5:00 PM, and Thursday 7:30 AM–4:00 PM. We are closed Fridays. New patients are welcome — if you have questions about your first visit or want to verify your insurance benefits before coming in, our team is happy to help you get started.
A few things set Church Family Dentistry & Cosmetics apart. First, we are a fee-for-service practice — that means your care is not shaped by what an insurance company will or won’t approve. Dr. Church recommends what your teeth actually need. Second, we have cone beam 3D imaging on site, which gives us diagnostic capabilities most general practices refer out for. Third, Dr. Church holds active membership in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry — credentials that reflect real training and ongoing standards in implant and cosmetic care, not just general licensure. And finally, every patient gets a dentist who listens first, explains clearly, and makes sure you are part of the decision.
