Some smiles need one small fix, others a full plan. Select what brought you here to see how cosmetic dentistry at this practice approaches it.
Tell us what bothers you
Your first visit starts with a thorough oral exam and a conversation about your goals. Jot down what you’d like to change beforehand so nothing gets missed.
Preview it on screen
Your digital photos are changed on the cosmetic imaging computer, so you see a before and after of your smile and plan the improvements together.
Get a plan that fits you
It may be a single procedure or a combination. Each step is explained and your questions answered, and treatment starts only when you approve.
Try it, then treatment
With veneers, a “test drive” set lets you evaluate the look before the final set. Afterward you get clear aftercare instructions to protect your new smile.
There’s more than one way to fix a smile. Let’s find yours.
Whitening brightens, bonding repairs, veneers reshape and a gum lift rebalances. Your plan may use one treatment or several, chosen after an exam and a preview of the result.
Porcelain veneers
Thin, translucent porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct stains, chips, gaps and crooked teeth. They resist stains better than natural teeth or composite.
Prepless veneers
Minimal-preparation veneers close gaps, brighten and straighten with little or no drilling, preserving most if not all of your enamel. Not every smile qualifies.
Laser teeth whitening
An in-office whitening treatment followed by an Argon laser, which activates the hydrogen peroxide to dissolve stains. Your whitening plan is customized to you.
Dental bonding
Tooth-colored composite resin is sculpted directly onto the tooth to repair chips, close gaps and change the shape of teeth, often in a single visit.
Access the whole practice
Cosmetic dentistry is part of a full-service practice. All of these dental services are available in the same Timonium office.
From the patients who trust us
“My teeth were very crooked and I wanted a better smile. I had seen Dr. Haywood in a magazine and decided to see what could be done. I chose veneers and some minor cosmetic gum surgery because I really did not want braces in my 20s! The results speak for themselves.”—Greg
“I traveled to Dr. Haywood from my hometown because I did not feel my work could be handled by a 'regular dentist.' I came in with every tooth broken, patched, and filled… I have been thrilled with my new smile. I get compliments everywhere I travel and I am loving it.”—John
“Dr. Haywood repaired a chip in my tooth today. The tooth looks better than before it was chipped!”—Jim
“My anxiety was put to rest in one visit… Now I actually get compliments on my teeth and I enjoy smiling more than ever.”—T.S.
Cosmetic work should look natural, never fake.
Dr. Haywood, an AACD member trained at NYU’s Aesthetic Continuum and the Peter Dawson Institute, designs each smile around your goals.

Your questions,

Porcelain veneers, prepless veneers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, porcelain crowns, gum lifts, same-day and ultimate smile makeovers, and cosmetic imaging to preview results. Dental implants replace missing teeth, and Invisalign straightens them. Many smiles combine two or more. See the smile gallery.
They should. Dr. Haywood insists on a natural, never-fake look: ultra-thin porcelain stays translucent and shiny like natural enamel once bonded. Your smile is designed around your goals, and you evaluate a “test drive” set of veneers before the final set is made. Read about porcelain veneers.
Prepless, or minimal-preparation, veneers preserve most if not all of your natural enamel with little or no drilling. They can close gaps, brighten teeth and make them look straighter. Not everyone qualifies: teeth that are very dark or damaged may need a thicker veneer, and some patients move teeth with Invisalign first. Learn about prepless veneers.
Bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin sculpted directly on the tooth, usually in a single visit, and is one of the most affordable cosmetic options. Composite stains more easily and can chip. Porcelain veneers resist stains better and won’t break as easily. Bonding is also often a first step in a larger makeover. Read about dental bonding.
Often, yes. Veneers can make crooked teeth look straighter, which is why some adults choose them over braces. When teeth need to move before they’re touched, Invisalign clear aligners can shift them into position, and Invisalign is frequently combined with veneer makeovers here. Explore Invisalign.
In-office laser whitening starts with a chemical whitening treatment, then an Argon laser activates the hydrogen peroxide to dissolve stains. Your whitening plan is customized to your teeth. If your teeth are very dark, Dr. Haywood can walk you through other options, such as veneers. Read about teeth whitening.
Yes. A “before and after” demonstration is part of every cosmetic evaluation. Your digital photographs are changed on the cosmetic imaging computer, so you can see the improvements and plan them together before you commit. Learn about cosmetic imaging.
An ultimate smile makeover can be completed in as little as two visits, depending on the treatments involved. Some cases need only a few teeth; others treat every tooth for the best bite and overall look. If you have a deadline, a same-day smile makeover can be done in a single day. See ultimate smile makeovers.
A gummy smile is often caused by extra gum tissue rather than short teeth. A gum lift uses a dental laser or radiosurgery to move the gum line up on the upper teeth. For bigger changes, the Haywood surgical smile makeover combines gum surgery with same-day custom veneers. Read about gum lifts.
The practice is out of network with insurance companies: you pay at the time of service and the office files the paperwork on your behalf for maximum reimbursement. Health savings and flex plans are welcome, and flexible financing is available through CareCredit and Cherry. See financing options.
