Keep your family’s smiles on track with family dentistry—comprehensive, preventive care for all ages to support healthy teeth and gums long term.
Finding a dental home that takes care of everyone under your roof — from young children to grandparents — makes a real difference in how consistently your family shows up for care. When your dentist already knows your history, your children’s development, and what matters most to each member of your household, every appointment becomes more efficient and more personal. At Church Family Dentistry & Cosmetics, we are that dental home for families across Durham.
Our general dentistry services are built around one straightforward goal: keeping your whole family healthy, year after year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half of children and adolescents aged 12 to 19 and nearly all adults have had cavities in their permanent teeth. Consistent, preventive care is the most effective way to change that pattern for your family. We serve patients of all ages — children getting their first cleanings, adults managing long-term oral health, and seniors dealing with the changes that come with age.
Family dentistry is not simply a label. It reflects a practice model designed to treat patients across every stage of life — from a child’s first visit to an adult’s long-term restorative needs. We see the full picture of your family’s oral health, which means we can spot patterns early, coordinate care efficiently, and make recommendations that fit your actual situation.
Preventive Care for Every Age
Prevention looks different depending on who is in the chair. For children, it centers on cleanings, fluoride treatments, and guiding healthy development as permanent teeth come in. For adults, it means regular exams, professional cleanings, and monitoring changes over time. For older adults, it involves staying ahead of wear, recession, and conditions that tend to develop later in life. We tailor every visit to the patient in front of us, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Comprehensive Exams That Go Further
A thorough exam at our office includes digital X-rays and advanced cone beam imaging when indicated, giving Dr. Church a detailed, three-dimensional view of your oral health that a standard two-dimensional X-ray cannot provide. This allows us to identify concerns earlier, plan more precisely, and explain findings in a way that actually makes sense. You leave knowing exactly where things stand, not guessing.
One of the clearest advantages of choosing a family dental practice is convenience. Rather than coordinating multiple providers for different family members, you consolidate care in one office with one team that knows everyone. At Church Family Dentistry & Cosmetics, we offer preventive cleanings and exams, restorative work, and a full range of cosmetic dentistry options for patients who want to address appearance alongside health.
Services available under one roof include:
When a dental issue arises unexpectedly, having an established relationship with your dentist matters. Our team knows your history and can respond quickly with appropriate care.
Dr. Church came to dentistry because he loves working with his hands and solving complex problems, but what keeps him invested is the human side of the work. His philosophy begins with listening. 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 offices that move patients through on a schedule and hand them a treatment list on the way out, we take time to make sure you actually understand what we are seeing, why it matters, and what your options are. You are part of the decision, not just the recipient of it. That dynamic builds the kind of trust that makes patients comfortable enough to come in consistently, and consistent care is the foundation of lifelong oral health.
Advanced tools exist to serve patients, not to impress them. Our cone beam unit gives us diagnostic capabilities that most general dental offices do not have. Smile design technology allows patients to visualize potential outcomes before committing to cosmetic treatment. These tools allow Dr. Church to catch issues earlier, plan treatments more accurately, and have more transparent conversations with patients about what they are seeing together.
Dr. Will Church brings the kind of training, technology, and patient-first mindset to Durham that makes a real difference in how you experience dental care.

Flexible financing options through Cherry, Sunbit, and Proceed are available to help families manage the cost of care, so financial concerns do not stand in the way of getting the treatment you need.
