Since opening in August, Haywood Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Hoover has quickly distinguished itself within the dental community.

We visited the new office to meet the doctors and explore their stories, both in and outside the world of dentistry.

Read on to find out what they love most about their work and how they prioritize patient care above all else.

Meshing modern dentistry with personalized care

Haywood Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is a family-run, family-friendly practice located off Highway 280 in Hoover.

Offering everything from general and cosmetic dentistry to pediatric and emergency dental care, this practice truly covers it all.

Meet the family of dental experts

Dr. John Haywood’s interest in dentistry began at a very young age—learning everything he knows from his father and longtime beloved dentist Dr. Tim Haywood.

After earning his undergraduate degree from The University of Alabama, Dr. John Haywood went on to pursue his doctorate at the UAB School of Dentistry where he met his now wife Dr. Jessie Haywood.

Since graduating together in 2019, the dental dynamic duo hit the ground running, building a practice where you don’t have to dread visiting the dentist.

“I love interacting with patients and watching them leave happier than when they came in.

So many people are scared of coming to the dentist. We have the opportunity to change that narrative and make someone’s experience better than they imagined it would be.”

Dr. John Haywood

Life beyond the dental chair

Outside of the amazing work they do in the office, Doctors John and Jessie Haywood live a busy and beautiful life.

In the short time since they opened their practice, they’ve already engaged in community outreach by visiting a local retirement community to educate residents about oral health.

On top of this, they have two children, 18-month-old Charlotte and 11-week-old Jackson, who help keep their hands full and hearts happy.

“When we aren’t at the office, you can find us watching Alabama football, golfing and spending quality time with our kids.”

The Haywoods prioritize fear-free dentistry

Though the Haywoods perform a wide range of procedures, two things always remain the same—patient comfort and satisfaction.

They want Haywood Family & Cosmetic Dentistry to continue to grow and become the practice that generations of family members come to for all their dental care needs.

Whether treating a small cavity or performing a full smile makeover, it’s clear that the couple is genuinely passionate about the work they do.

“Communication is key. It’s our job to make close connections with patients and ensure they feel seen and heard every step of the way.

There’s no better feeling than watching a patient’s face light up once a procedure it finished and they’re happy with the results.”

Dr. Jessie Haywood
