Meet Dr. Haywood
“What I love most is simple: helping people feel confident and comfortable with a smile they’re truly proud of.”
For over three decades, I’ve had the privilege of caring for smiles. After earning my degree from the University of Michigan and graduating with distinction from the University of Detroit dental school in 1987, I was hand-picked for the U.S. Air Force’s advanced residency program, completing internships in oral surgery, orthodontics, endodontics and oral facial prosthodontics, and serving in the Gulf War, where I earned a USAF Commendation Medal.
I completed my cosmetic training at New York University’s prestigious Aesthetic Continuum, and have been honored to be featured on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover” and in the Baltimore Sun, Baltimore Magazine and New Beauty Magazine.
I look forward to meeting you.
Trained at NYU, the U.S. Air Force and the Peter Dawson Institute
