Tell us what’s going on
Your first visit is a relaxed, no-pressure consultation. Dr. Haywood examines the damaged or missing teeth and learns your goals before recommending anything.
Save what can be saved
Conservative options come first. Fillings, inlays and onlays are preferred where possible, and a root canal can save an infected tooth that might otherwise be lost.
Get a plan built around you
Your personalized plan explains every option, from crowns and bridges to implants and dentures, and is built around your needs, your comfort and your budget.
Restore it in one office
Inlays, onlays and crowns are completed in two visits, and implant care runs from first evaluation to follow-up, all in the same Timonium office.
There’s more than one way to rebuild a smile. Let’s find yours.
Not every damaged tooth needs a crown, and not every gap needs a bridge. Dr. Haywood explains all of your options and starts with the most conservative one that suits your mouth.
Porcelain crowns
Each crown is crafted for you from impressions of your natural teeth, restoring the shape of a damaged tooth and protecting it from further decay and damage.
Inlays and onlays
Bonded, tooth-colored restorations that repair part of a tooth. They conserve more healthy structure than a traditional crown, so they are preferred where possible.
Bridges and implants
A bridge fills a gap with an artificial tooth held by crowns on the neighboring teeth. An implant replaces the root as well, which helps prevent bone deterioration.
Custom and implant dentures
High-end custom dentures made for a natural look and fit, plus implant-supported, snap-on and All-on-4 options that stay put when you eat, speak and smile.
Access the whole practice
Restorative care is part of a full-service practice. Every one of these dental services is available in the same Timonium office.

Your questions,
answered
Where the damage allows, a more conservative repair such as a filling, inlay or onlay comes first, because it keeps more of your natural tooth. A porcelain crown is used when a tooth is extensively damaged or cracked, or after a root canal, to restore its shape and protect it from further decay and damage. Learn about dental crowns.
No. Dr. Haywood never uses amalgam fillings. Fillings are tooth-colored composite, matched to your natural teeth and bonded in place, and old amalgam fillings can be removed under rigorous safety protocols designed to minimize your exposure to mercury vapor. Read about mercury-free dentistry.
They are bonded ceramic, resin or processed composite restorations for a tooth with partial damage. An inlay is bonded inside the remaining tooth; an onlay also restores part of the biting cusp. Both conserve healthy tooth structure compared with a traditional crown, and are completed in two visits, with a temporary restoration in place between them. See ultimate dental fillings.
Often, yes. When infection reaches the pulp inside a tooth, root canal therapy removes the cause of the pain, preserves the remaining tooth structure and helps keep the infection from spreading to other teeth. The tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown to protect it from re-infection. Learn about root canals.
Rarely, with modern dentistry. Extraction may be the best option if a tooth is so decayed and infected that keeping it could harm your other teeth or your health, if it is fractured or badly positioned, or for wisdom teeth. The tooth is removed gently, and afterward your restorative options for filling the gap are discussed. Learn about tooth extractions.
A bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth with an artificial tooth, called a pontic, held in place by crowns on the teeth on either side. Replacing a lost tooth helps you chew properly and keeps neighboring teeth from shifting. Fixed bridges are recommended for stability, though a dental implant is the better alternative in most cases. Learn about dental bridges.
A titanium post is placed in the jawbone to act as a new root, and bone fuses around it in the months that follow. It is restored with a porcelain crown, or can support a bridge or full denture. Because it replaces the root as well as the crown, an implant helps prevent bone deterioration. Dr. Haywood provides every phase of implant care, from first evaluation to follow-up. Explore dental implants.
Dentures let you chew, smile and talk again. High-end custom dentures are made with time and care for a natural look and comfortable fit, and problem dentures can be remade. For more security, dentures can snap or lock onto implants, and All-on-4 is available. Implant-supported dentures don’t slip or click, and they help prevent bone deterioration. See denture options.
Call, early in the day if you can. Many cracked teeth can be saved with restorative and surgical procedures, though a tooth split along its root cannot. If a tooth is knocked out, put it in milk and call right away. New patients with emergency needs are seen on weekdays during normal business hours, based on availability. Get emergency dental care.
