The Smile You Stop Hiding
A finished smile changes small daily habits. You quit angling your face away from the camera. You laugh without your hand drifting up to cover your mouth. You hold a stranger's gaze a half-second longer. Cosmetic dentistry in Jones Valley works on the visible result, but the payoff shows up in how you carry yourself afterward.
Dr. Patterson Shedd builds toward that result with porcelain veneers, professional whitening, cosmetic bonding, and Invisalign. The treatment you start with depends on where your smile is now and where you want it to land.
What Treatment Looks Like Down the Road
Porcelain veneers cover the front surface of a tooth with a thin custom shell, correcting color, chips, and small gaps in one design. Whitening lifts years of coffee and tea staining in a single supervised visit. Cosmetic bonding sculpts tooth-colored resin onto a worn edge or a chip and hardens it in minutes. Invisalign straightens crowding with a sequence of clear trays you can take out to eat.
Veneers and bonding hold their look for years when you keep up routine cleanings. Whitening fades gradually, so most patients touch up once a year. Invisalign results stay put as long as you wear the retainer Dr. Shedd fits at the end.
Is This the Right Time for You
Cosmetic work suits you when your gums and underlying teeth are healthy and the issue is mostly appearance: staining, chips, mild crowding, an uneven edge. It is not the right starting point if you have active decay or gum disease, since those get treated first. Heavy grinders need a night guard to protect veneers or bonding, and Dr. Shedd will flag that before any cosmetic step begins.
Meet Dr. Patterson Shedd
The Jones Valley patients who finish veneers or Invisalign with Dr. Shedd usually mention the same thing first: he explained what he saw and what he recommended before he picked up an instrument. That habit shapes every cosmetic plan he writes.
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 grew up in Mobile, settled in Huntsville in 2010, and lives nearby with his wife Tinsley and their three daughters. Outside the office he plays golf and guitar and follows Alabama football. The practice carries more than 650 five-star reviews across Google and Facebook.

Jones Valley Patient Questions
I live near Jones Valley Elementary. How long is the drive to your office?
A: From the Jones Valley Elementary area you reach 2124 Cecil Ashburn Drive in roughly five to ten minutes, depending on Garth Road traffic. Most Jones Valley families treat us as their close-to-home option since the office sits at the neighborhood's southeast edge.
Do you take the PPO plans common among Jones Valley households?
A: We accept all PPO dental insurance plans, which covers the bulk of employer plans in this part of Huntsville. We do not take Medicaid, Medicare, or Wellcare. Call (256) 407-3882 with your plan details and we will confirm your cosmetic and restorative coverage before you book.
Can I get an early appointment before work without driving across town?
A: Yes. We open at 7:00 a.m. on Thursdays, which lets Jones Valley professionals handle a whitening touch-up or Invisalign check before heading to work. Since the office is on your side of the mountain, you skip the cross-town commute.
I have no dental insurance. What does a first cosmetic consult cost?
A: Patients without insurance can start with our $199 new-patient exam, X-rays, and cleaning, which gives Dr. Shedd a full picture before any cosmetic plan. We also offer an in-house dental savings plan and 0% financing to spread veneer or Invisalign costs.
My kids see a pediatric dentist. Can the whole family eventually come to one place?
A: Yes. The practice treats patients from age 3 to 90, so families across Jones Valley consolidate children's checkups, adult cosmetic work, and routine cleanings under one roof. That keeps your records and scheduling in a single office close to home.
