Meet Dr. Gurley

William H. Gurley, DDS, MS

Dr. Gurley received his degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: his BA in 1967 with Honors in Psychology, his Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1971, and his Masters of Science in Orthodontics in 1981. In the interim between his dental and orthodontic degrees he served in the Air Force, including a year in Southeast Asia. Upon his return he invested two years in private dental practice before returning to UNC Dental School as a full-time assistant professor for three years. He entered the orthodontic program in 1978 for two years of study followed by one year as a research fellow. He continued with the orthodontic department as a part-time instructor for six years.

Dr. Gurley opened his practice in Raleigh in 1981, relocating to Cary in 1983 when his partnership with Dr. Hall was formed. In the ensuing years Dr. Gurley has treated hundreds of children and adults. He feels the success of this practice is a testimony to the years of dedicated and professional healthcare delivery, punctuated by a love for his patients and staff.

Dr. Gurley’s professional accomplishments and activities include:

• Recipient of the UNC Dental School Faculty Appreciation Award
• Recipient of the UNC Orthodontic Alumni Research Award
