Many of the treatments we offer not only improve the appearance of your smile, but also improve your oral health. For example, fixing a cracked or chipped tooth with dental bonding or a porcelain veneer can prevent bacteria from entering the tooth which can lead to an infection. An infection inside the tooth will require root canal therapy. Straitening a crooked smile with Invisalign or dental veneers will make it easier to care for your teeth. This will reduce your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

By fixing the cosmetic issues, people can alleviate these issues and help them feel more comfortable with the way their smile looks.

Whether you want a subtle or dramatic change to your smile, Dr. Furgurson can help you. Our cosmetic dentistry office offers many treatments to help patients fix problems with their teeth. We perform every cosmetic treatment in our Chapel Hill dental office.
Porcelain veneers are ceramic shells that replace the front part of your tooth. Because they are a porcelain material, they will reflect light the same way natural teeth do. This option is perfect for patients looking for a complete smile makeover in Chapel Hill. Veneers can treat misshapen, stained, gapped, or slightly damaged teeth. With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last a lifetime.
Common foods and drinks that we consume every day leave behind stains on our teeth. While this is totally normal, it can create a dull, yellow smile. Our dentist office offers two types of professional teeth whitening: in office and at home whitening trays. Your dentist can help you decide which treatment is best for you and your cosmetic goals. Professional teeth whitening is the safest way to instantly brighten your smile. It is safer and more effective than any treatment bought in a store.
Tooth bonding uses a tooth colored resin to conceal minor blemishes on your teeth. Your dentist can hide minor stains, gaps, chips, or cracks using the bonding material. The dentist will apply the bonding material over the affected portion of your tooth. He will mold it by hand into the proper shape so that it does not interfere with your natural teeth. Then, he will harden it using an ultraviolet light. Tooth bonding is often an easy and affordable treatment option for young patients or adults not ready for dental veneers.
Dental implants are the best option when it comes to replacing a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. This type of dental restoration replaces the teeth and the root structure. This will help prevent bone loss which in turn prevents premature aging in the face. Additionally, implant restorations are natural looking and are better for your oral health.
Dr. Jim Furgurson provides Botox® Cosmetic and Xeomin® injections. These treatments can help with cosmetic concerns and jaw pain.
