If the Chair Makes You Tense, Read This First
Plenty of people in Blossomwood put off a cosmetic visit for one reason: the worry about what they will hear, or what it will feel like once they sit down. That hesitation is common, and it does not have to run the appointment. Dr. Patterson Shedd opens every cosmetic consultation by looking, explaining, and answering your questions. Nothing happens to your teeth on that first visit unless you decide it should.
Knowing the steps usually takes the edge off. So here is what the work actually involves.
The Procedures, Explained Plainly
Teeth whitening is the gentlest place to start: a supervised in-office session lifts staining with no drilling and no numbing. Cosmetic bonding shapes tooth-colored resin onto a chip or worn edge and sets it with a curing light, often in a single visit and frequently with no anesthetic. Porcelain veneers take two visits, the first to prepare and scan, the second to bond thin custom shells to the front of the teeth. Invisalign skips brackets entirely and moves teeth with a series of clear, removable trays.
Who Should and Should Not Start Here
You are a strong candidate when your teeth and gums are healthy and the concern is cosmetic. If Dr. Shedd spots decay or gum inflammation, he addresses that first, because cosmetic work placed over an untreated problem does not last. If dental anxiety is your main barrier rather than your teeth, say so when you book. The team paces the visit around your comfort instead of rushing it.
The Dentist Behind the Calm Approach
Anxious patients from Blossomwood tend to relax once Dr. Shedd walks them through what he sees on the screen and lays out the options without pressure. He built that style over 18 years of practice.
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.
He moved to Huntsville in 2010 and lives in the area with his wife Tinsley and their three daughters, spending off-hours on golf, guitar, and Alabama football. Patients have left the practice more than 650 five-star reviews across Google and Facebook.

Questions From Blossomwood Patients
I get anxious at the dentist. Can I do a consult near Blossomwood without committing to treatment?
A: Yes. Your first cosmetic visit is an exam and conversation, not a procedure. Dr. Shedd shows you what he sees and outlines choices, and you decide whether and when to move forward.
Blossomwood has a lot of older homes and longtime residents. Do you treat patients who haven't seen a dentist in years?
A: Often. Many patients return after a long gap, and we start with a thorough exam and cleaning rather than judgment. From there Dr. Shedd builds a step-by-step plan that fits your timeline and budget.
Is the office close enough to walk or bike from central Blossomwood?
A: Blossomwood is roughly ten minutes by car, but the route crosses busier roads like Whitesburg Drive, so most patients drive. Parking sits directly outside Suite 130, so you are steps from the entrance once you arrive.
Will whitening hurt if I have sensitive teeth?
A: Some patients feel short-lived sensitivity after whitening, and Dr. Shedd adjusts the approach for sensitive teeth. Tell the team before your session and they will tailor the strength and timing to keep you comfortable.
Do you offer payment options if I'm on a fixed budget?
A: Yes. We work with all PPO dental plans, offer a $199 new-patient special for those without insurance, and provide an in-house savings plan plus 0% financing. That lets you phase cosmetic work over time instead of paying all at once.
