A Lasting Change, Close to Home
For South Huntsville patients, the appeal of veneers is a result that lasts and an office that is a short drive up Whitesburg Drive. The finished smile evens out in color, the chips disappear, and small gaps close. Porcelain holds that look for years because it resists the staining that gradually dulls natural teeth.
Veneers are thin, custom covers bonded to the front of your teeth, designed by Dr. Patterson Shedd in porcelain or resin.
The End Result, Spelled Out
A veneer changes the visible front of the tooth, so color, shape, and spacing improve together. The finish is chosen to look bright but natural, and it functions like your own tooth. Because the office sits on the same side of the mountain, follow-up checks are quick, and the result is designed to stay put.
What One Treatment Can Fix
Dr. Shedd uses veneers to lighten deep staining, close unwanted gaps, reshape small or worn teeth, repair chips and cracks, and even a crooked edge. Patients aiming for an overall change often prefer veneers because a single treatment addresses several concerns at once.
Who Sees the Best Outcome
The best results start with healthy teeth and gums. Dr. Shedd treats decay or gum disease first. A night guard protects veneers if you grind, and significant misalignment may be better handled with Invisalign before veneers so the base is right.
During and After the Procedure
Resin veneers finish in one visit. Porcelain takes two, with temporaries between prep and bonding, and brief sensitivity afterward. Once bonded, normal brushing, flossing, and routine cleanings keep the result looking its best. Being minutes away makes those maintenance visits simple.
Meet Dr. Patterson Shedd
A smile meant to last should come from a dentist who plans to be around. Dr. Shedd has practiced in Huntsville since 2010 and cared for patients across the Tennessee Valley for 18 years, building the kind of long-term relationships South Huntsville families value. When he designs veneers to last, he is also the dentist who will maintain them for years to come.
He holds a D.M.D. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and advanced cosmetic training. Dr. Shedd and his wife Tinsley are raising three daughters here, and outside the office he plays golf and guitar and follows Alabama football. The practice carries more than 650 five-star reviews from patients across the region.

South Huntsville Patient Questions
How close is your office to the Haysland Square area?
A: About ten to fifteen minutes up Whitesburg Drive to Cecil Ashburn Drive. South Huntsville is on the same side of the mountain, so both porcelain visits and any follow-ups are quick and close to home.
Will my veneers really last, or will I be back replacing them soon?
A: Porcelain veneers last for years with routine cleanings and careful home care. Dr. Shedd checks their fit and margins at each visit, and because he practices here long-term, he is the one maintaining them over time.
Can veneers fix teeth worn down from years of grinding?
A: Yes. Dr. Shedd designs veneers to restore shape and length to worn teeth, then fits a night guard so grinding does not damage the new porcelain. This is common among South Huntsville patients with long-settled wear.
I have older fillings on my front teeth. Can veneers still work?
A: Often, yes. Dr. Shedd checks that the fillings and underlying tooth are sound, then designs veneers that cover and match your smile. He explains any prep needed before starting so you know what to expect.
My PPO is through a Redstone-area employer. Does it help with veneers?
A: Cosmetic veneers are usually elective, so most PPO plans do not cover them, though a plan may help if a veneer restores a broken tooth. Bring your plan and the team will confirm what applies before you commit.
