Finding a dentist in Chapel Hill who is both highly skilled and conveniently located can feel like a challenge. You want comprehensive care, but you don’t want to drive across town for every appointment.
For patients living near the Chapel Hill line, the location of your dental office can be just as important as the quality of care you receive. At Chapel Hill Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we’re committed to providing exceptional general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry, and we are also dedicated to being a convenient choice for patients in the Chapel Hill, Durham, and Triangle area.
We are located at 501 Eastowne Dr STE 150, Chapel Hill, NC 27514. Call us at 919-736-6175 to schedule an appointment, or browse our website to learn more.
Why Proximity Matters for Your Dental Health
Life in the Triangle moves fast. Between UNC schedules, work commutes, and family obligations, convenience matters. When your Chapel Hill dentist is close by, you are more likely to keep up with your routine checkups and cleanings. You are also more likely to get care quickly when you have a concern.
Our office is situated near the Chapel Hill-Durham line, just off I-40 and Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd (15-501) on Eastowne Drive. This location makes us easily accessible for patients from many communities. We serve patients across the region, including Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary, Carrboro, and Hillsborough.
Whether you are coming from downtown Durham, near the Streets at Southpoint, or from the UNC campus, our office is a convenient drive away. This is just one of the reasons patients in the Triangle choose us as their dental home.
Complete Dental Care Under One Roof
Our convenient location is just the start. What really sets us apart is the comprehensive care we provide under one roof. We offer everything from preventive care to complex restorative treatments. This means you can get the care you need without being referred to multiple offices.
A Team with Advanced Credentials
Dr. James P. Furgurson and Dr. Nathan O. White lead our team. Both are proud North Carolina natives. Dr. Furgurson is an honors graduate of the UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry. He holds Fellowships in the Academy of General Dentistry, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and the Resnik Implant Institute. These uncommon achievements reflect his commitment to continuing education and his expertise in restorative and implant dentistry.
Dr. White is also an honors graduate of UNC and completed his Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency there. He is an adjunct associate professor at the UNC School of Dentistry.
Both doctors are dedicated to providing conservative, evidence-based care. They take the time to listen to your concerns and help you make informed decisions about your dental health.
Advanced Technology for More Comfortable Care
We use modern dental technology to make your visits more comfortable and efficient. For example, our CBCT scanner provides detailed 3D images of your mouth. This tool helps us plan complex treatments like dental implants and evaluate sleep apnea and TMJ disorders. This is the same type of advanced technology found at leading oral surgery centers in the area.
We also use the LiteTouch Laser for precise gum treatments and the T-Scan for analyzing your bite. The iTero Scanner allows us to take digital impressions for crowns and Invisalign without the mess of traditional impression trays.
This combination of advanced credentials and technology means you receive care that is both precise and patient-focused.
An Out-of-Network Practice with a Patient-Focused Approach
We are a private fee-for-service, out-of-network practice. This is a deliberate choice. It allows us to focus on your care without the constraints of insurance companies. We aren’t required to compromise on treatment quality to meet an insurer’s cost restrictions.
Being out-of-network doesn’t mean you can’t use your insurance benefits. We provide all the documentation you need to file claims directly with your insurance company for reimbursement. This patient-directed model often results in faster reimbursements. It also eliminates the “bottleneck” that can happen when offices handle the claims process for you. You get the care you need, and you get reimbursed faster.

- Cary and Morrisville: Easy access via I-40 and 15-501.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
We understand that visiting a new Chapel Hill dentist can feel a little overwhelming. That is why we have designed our first visit to be thorough, comfortable, and stress-free. You will start by meeting with Dr. Furgurson or Dr. White to discuss your goals and concerns. We will take any necessary digital X-rays or 3D images to get a complete picture of your oral health.
We will then perform a comprehensive exam. This includes screenings for gum disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer. We will also do an occlusal analysis and examine your temporomandibular joints (TMJ). After the exam, we will explain our findings and discuss your treatment options. We will never pressure you into treatment. Instead, we will give you the information you need to make a confident decision about your care.
