The Royal Treatment From Dr. Haywood, Your Timonium Dentist

Dr. Steven W. Haywood, DDS is a dentist in Timonium, MD, who has provided cosmetic, restorative, implant and holistic dentistry for over 35 years at 108 W Timonium Rd, Ste 200. If you searched for Dr. Haywood, you are probably checking who the dentist is before you call. This page answers that, and explains what patients mean when they talk about getting the royal treatment here: a dentist with unusually broad training, appointments that are never rushed, a clear explanation of every option and its cost, and cosmetic work done with an eye for a natural result.

Who Dr. Haywood is

Dr. Haywood’s training is wider than most general dentists’, and it shapes the kind of care the practice can offer under one roof:

• University of Detroit dental school: graduated with distinction in 1987, after a botany degree from the University of Michigan.
• U.S. Air Force advanced residency: hand-picked for the program, with internships in oral surgery, orthodontics, endodontics, pediatric dentistry and oral facial prosthodontics. Dr. Haywood served in the Gulf War and earned a USAF Commendation Medal.
• NYU Aesthetic Continuum: cosmetic dentistry training under Drs. Larry Rosenthal and Ross Nash.
• Peter Dawson Institute: ongoing advanced TMJ and reconstructive training.
• Credentials: Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and Elite Invisalign Provider.
• Recognition: selected to perform an “extreme smile makeover” on ABC, and featured in the Baltimore Sun, Baltimore Magazine and New Beauty Magazine.

The royal treatment, in practical terms

Time

Cleaning appointments at the practice last a full 60 minutes, so each tooth is cleaned thoroughly instead of rushed. Appointments are scheduled with room to breathe, which means you are not hurried through, and the schedule is not running behind.

Clarity

Every visit starts with a conversation, not a drill. Digital X-rays appear on screen right away, and intraoral cameras zoom in so you can see what Dr. Haywood sees. You hear what needs doing, what can safely wait and exactly what it costs, before anything begins. As one patient put it in a review published on the practice’s website: “Always detailed the work to be done and the cost.”

Choice

Treatment plans are built around your needs, your comfort and your budget, and you are shown more than one way forward when more than one exists. If another office has already given you an implant plan, second opinions are always complimentary.

Your first appointment starts with an in-depth discussion of your dental concerns, your health history and medications, and whether fear is a problem for you. Dr. Haywood evaluates your teeth and gums, takes X-rays and photos, and looks at your bite for TMJ issues, with an oral cancer screening as part of the check-up. If you have a special event coming up and need treatment at that first visit, let the team know so they can plan for it.

Cosmetic dentistry with an eye for natural results

Dr. Haywood insists on a natural, never-fake look. Cosmetic care at the practice is planned before it is carried out:

• Preview first. A before-and-after demonstration on the cosmetic imaging computer is part of every cosmetic evaluation, so you can see and plan the changes together. See cosmetic imaging.
• Veneers you can test drive. You evaluate a “test drive” set of veneers before the final set is made. Porcelain veneers are hand-crafted in the USA by master ceramists, can be as thin as a contact lens, and are warrantied for one full year. See dental veneers.
• Whitening and bonding. In-office laser whitening and tooth-colored bonding, often completed in a single visit, brighten and reshape teeth without veneers.
• Gum lifts. For a gummy smile, the Haywood surgical smile makeover combines a gum lift with same-day customized veneers.
• Makeovers on a deadline. An ultimate smile makeover can be completed in as little as two visits, and a same-day smile makeover in a single day.

Restorations that keep as much of your tooth as possible

Crowns are for teeth that have been extensively damaged. When a more conservative approach will work, such as a filling or a bonded onlay that keeps more healthy tooth structure, that is the first recommendation. The practice is mercury-free and never uses amalgam fillings: small cavities are filled with tooth-colored composite, and inlays, onlays and crowns are made from tooth-colored ceramic or composite. Crowns are high-quality porcelain, made to replicate the color and translucence of your natural teeth.

Implants planned, placed and restored in one office

Dr. Haywood places and restores dental implants in the Timonium office, so you don’t have to shuttle between a surgeon and a restoring dentist. Plans start with a 3D cone beam CT scan on a low-dose Green CT scanner, and when accuracy matters most, a 3D-printed surgical guide carries the plan into surgery. Options range from a single tooth to fixed full-arch teeth. See dental implants in Timonium, or if you are missing several teeth, every way to replace missing teeth.

A whole-body approach when you want it

For patients who want it, Dr. Haywood offers holistic dentistry: mercury-free fillings, biocompatible materials and minimally invasive care, including testing dental materials for biocompatibility before they are used. Ceramic and zirconia implants are available for patients who prefer to avoid metal. Read about holistic dentistry.

Small comforts that add up

The office is spa-inspired, with paraffin wax hand treatments, aromatherapy and a Nespresso station, and every treatment room is cleaned and sterilized after each patient. Laughing gas is offered as a complimentary service, and oral sedation is available. If nerves are what has kept you away, read comfortable dental care for anxious patients, take the office tour, or meet the people you will see in our Timonium dental team takes care of you.
