The six steps to getting quality dental crowns at Smile Studios

Getting dental crowns might sound daunting at first, but it’s a straightforward and exciting process. Dr. Tina Subherwal of Smile Studios in the Redmond, Washington, area provides these restorations to patients looking for quality care and restorative solutions for teeth that might be broken or severely decayed. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown to guide you through the journey so there are no surprises!

1. Consultation and Examination. First, you’ll meet Dr. Subherwal for a consultation, during which she will assess your tooth’s condition. This step helps you and your dentist decide if a dental crown is the best solution. This is the chance for you, Dr. Subherwal, and her team to map out the best choices for your smile’s needs.
2. Preparing the Tooth. Once the crown plan is in place, Dr. Subherwal prepares the tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to make room for the crown. It might sound intense, but our team will ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process.
3. Taking Impressions. This step feels like playing with a moldable clay masterpiece! Our team takes impressions of your tooth (or digitally scans it) to make sure that your crown fits perfectly. Every detail is captured, so the final crown is custom-made just for you.
4. Temporary Crown Placement. A temporary crown will be set over your prepared tooth while your permanent crown is being made in the lab. It will fill the role until your custom crown is ready!
5. Receiving Your Permanent Crown. When your permanent crown is ready for placement, you will then return to the dental office to have it placed. Our dentist ensures it fits like a glove, adjusts it for optimal comfort, and bonds it securely to your tooth. Your crown is now in place and ready to shine!
6. Care and Maintenance. With your crown in place, the final step is taking care of it like the treasure it is. Keep up with regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups at our office, and your crown will stay in excellent shape for years to come!
