About
Dr. Elif Şahin's goal is to keep your own teeth for as long as possible. Using an operating microscope, she treats infected and painful teeth that others might recommend removing.
She specialised in endodontics at Istanbul University and treats most cases in a single visit.
“Your own tooth is still the best implant. It's worth trying to save.”
