What It Costs and How You Pay
Cost is the first question most Owens Cross Roads patients ask about cosmetic dentistry, so start there. The practice accepts all PPO dental insurance plans. It does not take Medicaid, Medicare, or Wellcare. If you carry no dental insurance, the $199 new-patient special covers an exam, X-rays, and a cleaning, which gives Dr. Shedd the full picture before he quotes any cosmetic work. For larger treatment, an in-house dental savings plan and 0% financing let you spread the cost.
Owens Cross Roads has grown fast, with new subdivisions and young families filling the area east of Hampton Cove. Many of those households carry employer PPO plans, which the office bills directly.
Mapping Cost to Treatment
Whitening sits at the affordable end: one supervised session, no lab work. Cosmetic bonding runs moderate, since it uses resin shaped chairside in a single visit. Porcelain veneers cost more because each shell is custom-made in a lab across two visits. Invisalign pricing depends on how many trays your case needs. Dr. Shedd gives you a written plan with the visit count and total before anything begins, so the number never arrives as a surprise.
Who This Fits
Cosmetic treatment makes sense when your teeth and gums are healthy and the issue is appearance: staining, chips, mild crowding, an uneven edge. Decay or gum disease gets treated first, and that cost folds into your plan up front. Night grinders need a guard to protect the result. If budget is the constraint, Dr. Shedd can phase the work so you start with the highest-impact step.
During Treatment and Afterward
Whitening and bonding finish the same day with little downtime. Veneers involve a temporary between visits and possible short-term cold sensitivity. Invisalign trays feel tight for a day with each new set. Routine cleanings protect the investment, so factor those visits into the long-term picture when you weigh cost.
The Dentist Reviewing Your Plan
Owens Cross Roads patients get a clear, itemized plan from Dr. Patterson Shedd before they commit a dollar. He treats the cost conversation as part of the care, not an afterthought, a practice built over 18 years.
Dr. Shedd earned his D.M.D. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry in 2008, then completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center, where he treated patients with complex medical histories. He carries advanced training in implants, cosmetic dentistry, and Invisalign, and he has cared for more than 20,000 patients across Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley.
Dr. Shedd settled in Huntsville in 2010 and lives nearby with his wife Tinsley and their three daughters, spending free time on golf, guitar, and Alabama football. The practice has earned more than 650 five-star reviews across Google and Facebook.
Getting Here From Owens Cross Roads
From Owens Cross Roads, take Highway 431 / Old Highway 431 west through Hampton Cove, then connect to Sutton Road and Cecil Ashburn Drive over the mountain toward Jones Valley. Coming down the Jones Valley side, watch for 2124 Cecil Ashburn Drive SE, Suite 130, on your left. The drive runs roughly twenty to twenty-five minutes from the heart of Owens Cross Roads, and parking sits directly outside the entrance. Patients coming from the newer subdivisions near Hampton Cove Golf Course shave a few minutes off that time.

Owens Cross Roads Patient Questions
I don't have dental insurance. What's the cheapest way to start cosmetic work?
A: Begin with the $199 new-patient special, which covers an exam, X-rays, and cleaning so Dr. Shedd can build an accurate plan. From there you can phase treatment and use the in-house savings plan or 0% financing to spread costs.
My employer plan is a PPO. Will you bill it directly for Owens Cross Roads patients?
A: Yes. We accept all PPO dental plans and bill them directly, regardless of which town you live in. We do not take Medicaid, Medicare, or Wellcare, so call (256) 407-3882 to confirm your plan before booking.
Owens Cross Roads is growing fast with new builds. Are you taking new patients from this area?
A: Yes, the practice is currently accepting new patients, and we see a steady stream of families from the new Owens Cross Roads subdivisions. The office treats ages 3 to 90, so the whole household can register at once.
The drive over the mountain is longer for me. Can I combine cleanings and cosmetic visits to cut trips?
A: Yes. We routinely pair a cleaning with a cosmetic consult or follow-up so Owens Cross Roads patients make fewer drives over Cecil Ashburn. Ask the front desk to stack your appointments when you schedule.
Does financing run a credit check, and how fast can I find out if I qualify?
A: The 0% financing option involves a quick application, and the team can usually tell you the outcome during your visit. Bring it up at your consult and we will walk through the savings plan and financing side by side.
