Preserving Natural Teeth: A 5-Day Treatment Story from the USA
When dealing with deep cavities, extensive tooth loss, or chronic dental infections, many international patients fear that extraction is the only way out. However, at AEG Dental Clinic, our primary clinical priority is always conservative dentistry: saving your biological teeth whenever possible before considering dental implants.
In the video below, Dt. Reyhan Olgun Erkuş walks through the treatment journey of our patient who traveled from the United States to Istanbul to restore his oral health in just 5 days:
Case Highlights and Procedures Performed:
Based on digital X-rays evaluated prior to the patient's arrival in Istanbul, a customized 5-day treatment roadmap was executed:
- Advanced Root Canal Therapy: Infected root canals were thoroughly disinfected and sealed to eliminate deep-seated bacteria and pain.
- Amalgam Filling Replacements: Old, leaky metallic amalgam fillings were replaced with biocompatible, aesthetic composite restorations.
- Comprehensive Dental Cleaning: Deep ultrasonic scaling removed tartar and gum inflammation, ensuring a healthy foundation.
- Long-Term Implant Strategy: While saving the natural tooth remains the best option today, dental implants remain a solid backup if structural breakdown occurs in future years.
With precise planning and modern endodontic techniques, international patients can achieve complete oral restoration comfortably and quickly during their stay in Istanbul.
