Root canal treatment and dental crowns at Medlife Group in Turkey

Treatment: Root canal treatment - Back teeth
Provider: Medlife Group
Date: Nov 2018

Ellen Burke from Ireland was looking to have her quality of life restored when she contacted Medlife Group in Izmir, Turkey for root canal treatment and dental crowns. She was extremely excited when she shared her pictures and X-rays with them and they came back to her with their dentist's treatment plan based on this information. Medlife's medical consultant communicated with Ellen regarding all aspects of her treatment, including post-operative care, costing, accommodation and travel whilst in Izmir. She found everything transparent and clear and decided to visit Turkey for her treatment.

First day

When Ellen arrived at Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport, she was welcomed warmly by the Medlife team. After checking into the company's contracted hotel in the centre of the city, she took a rest and did a little sightseeing in Izmir.

Second day

The Medlife team met Ellen in the hotel lobby early in the morning and took her to the clinic where the final checks for the procedure were made. Their dentist explained all the details about her operation and answered her questions. The operation itself took 1.5 hours.

Third day

The Medlife team took Ellen from her hotel to the clinic for her final check up. Her quality of life had been restored. She was able to eat a normal diet once more.

Last day

Ellen's flight was in the afternoon and her transfer was waiting for her at the hotel. After checking out, she was taken to the airport to go back to Ireland. She left with the Medlife team's best wishes for a life full of smiles with her family.
