Turkey Teeth Repair in Los Angeles

Why Dental Work Abroad Often Fails

The problem is rarely the country. It is the model. Treatment is compressed into a few days, which leaves no room for design, mock-up approval, tissue healing, or bite verification. To hit the timeline, teeth are reduced heavily so a full crown will seat quickly, and a bright, opaque ceramic is chosen because it hides everything underneath. Patients fly home before the tissue has settled, and there is no practical way to return when something goes wrong six months later.

The Signs Patients Come In With

• Uniform, opaque white that reflects light rather than transmitting it, so the smile looks flat in photos.
• Bulky contours that push the lip out and make the teeth feel thick against the tongue.
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums around the margins.
• Dark lines at the gum line where the margin is exposed or leaking.
• Sensitivity or persistent ache in one or more prepared teeth.
• Bite that feels off, with new clicking, clenching, or uneven contact.
• Odor or a bad taste around a restoration, which points to leakage.

How the Redo Works

What Can and Cannot Be Undone

Contour, color, margin placement, gum health, and bite are all correctable. Enamel is not. If a tooth was reduced to a peg, it will need a full-coverage restoration for the rest of its life, and that is worth knowing before you start rather than after. Being told the truth about that is the point of the consultation.

Patients travel to Brentwood for this work from across the country. If you are coming in from out of town, the visit sequence is planned around your travel.

Am I a Candidate for a Turkey Teeth Redo?

Most patients who had crowns or veneers placed abroad can be helped. The strongest indicators are bulky or opaque restorations, dark margins at the gum line, irritated or receding gums, sensitivity, restorations that feel too thick to close on, and crowns placed on teeth that never needed them.

Gum inflammation and any decay under existing work are treated first. What can be reversed depends on how much natural tooth was removed, which is assessed under magnification before anything is promised.

How Much Does It Cost to Redo Dental Work Done Abroad?

Redo cases cost more than first-time work because the old restorations must be removed without damaging what is left, and any compromised tooth structure has to be rebuilt before new porcelain is designed. Cost tracks how many teeth are involved and how much repair is needed underneath.

Every patient starts with the same $475 consultation with Dr. Marashi: one hour, one-on-one, flat, non-refundable, and collected upon scheduling. Treatment fees are quoted in the written plan you receive afterward, once the case is understood. The practice is out-of-network with all insurance plans and provides detailed superbills.

How Long Does a Redo Last?

New hand-layered porcelain on properly restored teeth typically lasts 15 to 20 years or longer. Re-treated teeth need more careful bonding, which is why every step is done under a surgical microscope.

A custom night guard is provided, since grinding is the most common reason a second set fails early.

Is a Redo Worth It?

If your restorations look wrong, feel wrong, or are irritating your gums, they will not settle with time. Waiting usually costs more tooth structure, not less.

Dr. Marashi will also tell you when existing work is sound and only a few teeth need attention rather than the whole smile.
