Transform your smile with personalized cosmetic treatments using advanced technology and artistic precision from Dr. Will Church
Chapel Hill residents take healthcare seriously, and cosmetic dentistry is no different. When you are ready to improve your smile, you deserve a dentist who combines genuine artistry with the kind of clinical rigor that Chapel Hill patients expect. At Church Family Dentistry & Cosmetics, Dr. Will Church trained at the UNC School of Dentistry right here in Chapel Hill and has built a practice grounded in the same evidence-based approach the university is known for. Chapel Hill is about 25 minutes from our Durham office via US-501 North.
Dr. Church holds memberships in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He runs a fee-for-service practice, meaning his recommendations are driven entirely by your clinical needs — not by what generates the highest insurance reimbursement. Every cosmetic case starts with cone beam CBCT imaging and digital smile design, so you see a realistic preview of your outcome before any commitment is made. As the American Dental Association notes, professional cosmetic treatment consistently delivers safer, longer-lasting results than at-home alternatives.
Chapel Hill patients often approach cosmetic treatment the same way they approach any health decision — they want to understand the options before committing. Professional whitening and Candid Pro clear aligners are frequently the starting point. Whitening with custom-fitted trays delivers results that over-the-counter products cannot match, and Candid Pro aligners address crowding and spacing with U.S.-based orthodontist oversight and free at-home monitoring through the ProMonitoring app — fewer attachments and fewer in-office visits than traditional aligner systems.
Porcelain veneers are a strong option for Chapel Hill patients dealing with chips, gaps, staining, or uneven surfaces across multiple teeth. Dr. Church designs each case using digital imaging to plan the result precisely, and ultra-thin veneers preserve more natural tooth structure than traditional preparations. The try-in step ensures you see and approve the result before anything permanent is placed.
For patients with several cosmetic concerns to address at once, a smile makeover coordinates the right combination of treatments into a single, sequenced plan. Dr. Church builds each makeover around a digital preview so you understand the full outcome before treatment begins. Chapel Hill patients making the 25-minute drive appreciate that the planning process is thorough and unhurried, with no pressure toward any particular treatment path.
Chapel Hill patients tend to ask precise questions, and the consultation at Church Family Dentistry is built to answer them. Dr. Church reviews your goals, walks through cone beam imaging of your current smile, and presents all relevant options with honest context about timelines, costs, and what to expect from results.
Digital smile design software generates a realistic simulation of your outcome built from your actual tooth structure — not a generic template. Chapel Hill patients who want to evaluate their options carefully before committing find this step particularly useful. You can preview different treatment scenarios and ask questions before any permanent decisions are made.
For major cosmetic procedures including veneers, a temporary try-in lets you wear and evaluate your new smile before permanent placement. This step is standard at Church Family Dentistry — not an add-on. For Chapel Hill patients making the drive to Durham, it means the final appointment is a confirmation of something already approved, not a first look at an irreversible result.
Once you have approved your smile design, Dr. Church completes treatment using high-quality materials refined through his UNC training and ongoing continuing education. The result is cosmetic work that holds up structurally over time — not just aesthetically in the short term.
Dr. Church’s cosmetic workflow starts with cone beam CBCT imaging, which builds a complete three-dimensional picture of your teeth, roots, and bone before any treatment is planned. Digital smile design software then generates a realistic simulation of your outcome so you can evaluate results in detail before committing. For patients considering porcelain veneers alongside alignment correction, Candid Pro’s built-in ProMonitoring app also reduces the number of in-office visits during aligner treatment — useful for Chapel Hill patients managing busy schedules. Precision digital color-matching ensures restorations blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry is a meaningful investment, and Church Family Dentistry & Cosmetics offers multiple ways to make treatment fit your budget. Financing is available through Cherry, Sunbit, and Proceed. HSA and FSA funds are accepted for qualifying procedures. Some insurance plans include partial coverage for treatments that serve both cosmetic and functional purposes — the team reviews your plan before your appointment so there are no surprises on the day of treatment. Chapel Hill patients considering multiple procedures can also ask about sequencing options that allow treatment to be spread across time without losing momentum.
Artistry and Precision
Dr. Church is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and received his dental training at the UNC School of Dentistry. For Chapel Hill patients, that background matters: the same evidence-based rigor that defines UNC’s approach to healthcare carries through into every cosmetic case at Church Family Dentistry.
Try-In Process
Unlike many practices, we build a try-in step into every major cosmetic procedure. Chapel Hill patients see and approve their result in temporary form before anything permanent is placed. The final appointment is a confirmation, not a reveal.
Technology Integration
Cone beam CBCT imaging, digital smile design, and precision color-matching technology underpin every cosmetic case. The result is planning built on complete information, with outcomes that are more predictable from the first consultation forward.
Patient-Centered Approach
As a fee-for-service practice, Dr. Church’s recommendations are based entirely on your clinical needs and goals. Chapel Hill patients who want a thorough, unhurried conversation about their options — rather than a treatment plan presented before the exam is finished — will find that here.
The right treatment depends on what you are hoping to change and the current condition of your teeth. Porcelain veneers work well for patients looking to address multiple concerns at once — staining, chips, gaps, or mild misalignment — in a relatively short timeframe. Candid Pro clear aligners are the better fit if straightening is your primary goal. Take-home whitening may be all you need if discoloration is the main concern. At your consultation, Dr. Church uses advanced digital imaging to analyze your smile, walk you through your options, and show you what results could look like before any treatment begins.
Digital smile design is a technology-driven process that allows Dr. Church to digitally map your current smile and simulate what it will look like after treatment. Using advanced imaging software, you can preview your results in detail before any permanent changes are made. For major cosmetic procedures, the practice also provides try-ins — temporary versions of your restorations you can wear, evaluate, and approve before the final work is placed. Chapel Hill patients consistently tell us this step gives them real confidence going into treatment.
Our office is about 25 minutes from Chapel Hill via US-501 North toward Durham. Head north past Duke University campus and continue toward N Duke St near Duke Regional Hospital.

Most purely cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening and veneers placed for aesthetic reasons, are not covered by standard dental insurance. However, some treatments that serve both cosmetic and functional purposes — such as crowns or bonding to repair a damaged tooth — may have partial coverage. Dr. Church’s team will review your benefits before your appointment and provide a transparent cost breakdown. For the portion not covered, financing is available through Cherry, Sunbit, and Proceed, and we also accept HSA and FSA funds.
Yes — chips, cracks, small gaps, and uneven edges are among the most common concerns Dr. Church addresses for Chapel Hill patients. Composite bonding can fix minor chips quickly in a single visit. For more extensive issues or multiple concerns at once, porcelain veneers offer a longer-lasting solution. The right approach depends on the size and location of the imperfection, the overall health of the tooth, and what other goals you may have for your smile. Dr. Church will walk you through both options and help you decide what makes the most sense for you.
