Interim Stabilization Therapy (IST) at Aviator.
At Aviator Dental Hygiene, we offer dental Interim Stabilization Therapy treatments designed to protect and strengthen your teeth. Using fluoride, our IST process restores the mineral content of your tooth enamel, leaving your teeth smoother, stronger, and more resistant to decay.
Why Interim Stabilization Therapy (IST) is Important
Why Interim Stabilization Therapy (IST) is Important
Arrest Decay in Its Tracks
Tooth decay is progressive — once it starts, it doesn’t stop on its own. IST uses glass ionomer cement to seal and arrest active cavities, cutting off bacteria from nutrients and halting further breakdown. No drilling, no needles, no waiting. Just fast, effective intervention that protects the tooth right away.
Gentle Care for Every Patient
Not every patient is ready for a conventional filling — and that’s okay. IST is designed for young children, anxious patients, and those with special needs who require a calm, minimally invasive approach. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and completely drill-free, making it one of the most accessible treatments in preventive dental care.
A Bridge to Long-Term Treatment
IST isn’t just a temporary fix — it’s a smart clinical strategy. By stabilizing the decayed tooth, it reduces risk, prevents the cavity from worsening, and gives patients and providers the time needed to plan the most appropriate permanent restoration. It keeps the tooth intact and the treatment timeline on track.
Personalized Service
Every treatment we offer is tailored to you and is never mandatory. Your comfort, choice, and needs come first.
