Lumineers & Durathin | Prepless Benefits

Prepless Veneers

Prepless veneers in Shrewsbury, PA blend perfectly with your natural teeth, creating a unique new smile for you to show

His office is located in the southern part of York County, just a short drive north from Baltimore. Traditional veneer and crown procedures frequently involve established tooth reduction protocols that call for up to 50-70% of the enamel/tooth structure to actually be removed from your tooth. Technology and artistry have combined in Dr. Haywood’s practice to develop innovative and minimally invasive ways to preserve your own enamel. It’s hard work and takes special training, expertise, and a ceramist team member to provide this kind of elegant dental artistry. Traditional porcelain veneers are still warranted and necessary only when no-prep or minimal procedures aren’t possible due to factors like extensive prior failing dental work or excessive crowding. In many no-prep veneers or minimal prep veneer cases, the solution can often last five to seven years longer than traditional veneers due to the preservation of more of your natural tooth and less drilling! Additionally, local anesthesia MAY NOT be necessary, due to the fact that enamel is being removed sparingly.

WHY DR. HAYWOOD OFFERS MINIMAL PREPARATION VENEERS

Lumineers, Durathin, and other prep-free porcelain veneers require less preparation and are often a reversible way to improve your smile

When you picture your perfect new smile makeover, the last thing you hope for is to have your teeth drilled down excessively, permanently altering the structure of your teeth. That’s why Dr. Steven Haywood uses no-prep or minimal prep porcelain veneers: the permanent solution that can be bonded to the teeth with very little or no structural change needed. Dr. Haywood is an extremely accomplished cosmetic dentist who possesses the special knowledge and experience to preserve your natural enamel with minimally invasive procedures. Veneers are technically a new layer of enamel that beautifully and conservatively covers chips, discoloration, and damage from old fillings (and from just plain old wear and tear.) Dr. Haywood has operated Southern York Smile Care in Shrewsbury, PA since 1992 and has changed the lives and smiles of thousands of his patients. Passion for responsible and conservative cosmetic dental care has driven his leading-edge skills in the field of minimal preparation porcelain veneers. He is pleased to bring PREP=LESS veneer expertise to the Shrewsbury, New Freedom, and Glen Rock areas. Dr. Haywood’s practice has been focusing on cosmetic dentistry for over 30 years.

ACHIEVE A BEAUTIFUL SMILE WITH PREPLESS VENEERS

Traditional porcelain veneers require tooth reduction and drilling that make many patients concerned. Porcelain veneers are still the majority of what we do because most of our patients have existing damage to their teeth. Unfortunately, older bad dental work forces us to do more extensive work to strengthen and repair their smiles. For those who are fortunate enough to qualify for a minimal preparation approach, we are the experts! A prepless veneer smile makeover with Dr. Haywood is the obvious choice for those who prefer the finest quality and the exceptional smile they deserve.

DR. HAYWOOD IS AN ARTIST

PREP=LESS is the philosophy at Southern York Smile Care, the “less is more” approach can achieve stunning cosmetic results

Dr. Haywood often will combine Invisalign treatments with veneers, giving him the ability to move the teeth into the ideal position for preparation-free veneers. This has been the ultimate way to assure our patients we are doing everything we can to protect your natural teeth under the beautiful customized porcelain veneers that make up your amazing new smile.

Dr. Haywood is an adamant supporter of responsible and conservative dentistry. If a patient wants to close gaps and spaces, improve their smile, or strengthen and straighten teeth, then they may be a candidate for no-prep or minimal prep procedures. This procedure will improve chances of durability and will “brighten” without having to “whiten.”

When traditional veneers and crowns of any kind are installed, oftentimes the original enamel is re-shaped or altered excessively. This is not reversible, and the foundation and core of that tooth may also lose strength. Cosmetic dentistry is about more than appearance. A great smile gives you the confidence to put forward your best first impression. A healthy smile is also about quality of life and enjoying nutritional foods comfortably without fear of damaging or staining the dental work.

Porcelain veneers of any kind are extremely durable, so go ahead and order any of those foods you enjoy eating — no worries! Minimally invasive techniques are a cornerstone of Dr. Haywood’s exceptional dental care these days. If traditional procedures or surgery of any kind is necessary, then the proper treatment plan is created, but invasive techniques, as routinely taught in the dental profession, need not be the first or automatic option.

Single Tooth Implant

When one tooth is missing, a dental implant can serve as a total tooth replacement, Instead of the tooth root, Dr. Haywood places a titanium dental implant into the area where the former root used to live. After this heals for about 8 weeks, a post and a crown are custom designed to be placed on your implant that is now strong and secure in your bone. A single tooth implant looks and acts just like one of your own teeth.

Invisalign

Clear aligners are effective, affordable, and much more attractive than traditional orthodontist wire braces. With Invisalign brand clear aligners a straight and more beautiful smile is quickly attainable!

TESTIMONIALS

I am so happy I selected Dr. Haywood as my new dentist. This is the only dentist I trust. Dr. Haywood and his team are absolutely amazing! Everyone is super friendly, very professional, and really demonstrates how much they care for their patients in everything they do. I finally got a smile I always wanted and it’s been a wonderful experience every step of the way: starting with Invisalign and finishing with veneers. The office is beautiful and elegant with the latest technologies available. I would recommend this dental practice to my family and friends in complete trust that they are going to be comfortable and treated with care.

Dr. Haywood is an outstanding dentist. He goes above and beyond for his patients. From teaching how to brush your teeth properly, to DNA testing that can show bacteria that causes diseases, and to giving someone a brand new beautiful smile with veneers. He takes his time with every procedure to make sure everything is perfect and that the patient is comfortable. His staff is wonderful and very professional, answering all questions that will make anyone leave feeling confident they came to the right place.

Dr. Haywood has done a lot of work for me and my family. He has done multiple crowns and an implant for me. He has taken out my son’s wisdom teeth and has done veneers for my daughter. My daughter’s veneers came out very well and look so natural. We have been satisfied with all the treatment we have received from Dr. Haywood and everything has held up very well. In addition the office is very nice and the staff is very friendly.

I only asked that he would make sure my teeth looked natural. That was one of the main reasons I chose him to do my work. I could tell from the pictures of previous work he had done and from the computer imaging that was done of my own teeth, that he treated each case like a work of art and each was unique. Just as important to me was that, from the first procedure to the last, I got to sleep while he worked. I was given a couple of little blue pills and just napped through most of my visits. I had quite a bit of work done. I had most of my teeth veneered top and bottom, received an implant to replace my lost teeth, and had the rest of the teeth capped so that they would all match and be even. When I realized that he was a perfectionist, was when a couple of the teeth that he had custom crafted arrived, and he refused to put them in.
