When many teeth are worn down, broken, missing or failing at the same time, fixing them one by one rarely works. Full mouth rehabilitation rebuilds all the teeth together, so they work as one healthy bite and look natural. At Qualiteeth, full mouth rehabilitation in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor is planned by specialists registered on the National Specialist Register: a prosthodontist, a restorative dentistry specialist and a periodontist.
What is full mouth rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation (also called full mouth reconstruction) is a planned combination of treatments that restores most or all of the teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Depending on your needs, it can include:
- crowns and onlays to rebuild worn or broken teeth
- bridges or implants to replace missing teeth
- All-on-4 or All-on-6 full-arch implant teeth, or dentures
- root canal treatment for infected teeth
- gum treatment so the foundations are healthy
- veneers to improve the appearance of front teeth
The aim is not only nicer-looking teeth, but a stable, comfortable bite that is easy to keep clean and lasts.
Who needs full mouth rehabilitation?
- Teeth worn short from grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion
- Many broken, heavily filled or decayed teeth
- Several missing teeth, with the remaining teeth drifting or tilting
- A “collapsed” bite: the face looks shorter and the chin closer to the nose
- Old crowns, bridges or dentures that are failing
- Jaw discomfort or headaches linked to an uneven bite
- Loose or ill-fitting dentures you want to replace with fixed teeth
Why a specialist team?
Full mouth cases involve the gums, the nerves of the teeth and the bite all at once. Planning by specialists lowers the risk of problems later.
- Assoc. Prof. Dr Tew In Meei, prosthodontist: plans the bite and the crowns, bridges, implant teeth and dentures. She holds a Master of Clinical Dentistry in Prosthodontics from the University of Hong Kong and the Membership in Restorative Dentistry (Prosthodontics) of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
- Dr Ho Yee Mun, restorative dentistry specialist: handles complex root canal treatment and rebuilds teeth that can be saved. She holds a Master of Restorative Dentistry from Universiti Sains Malaysia.
- Dr Wong Hong Zhang, periodontist: treats gum disease first, because crowns and implants placed on unhealthy gums do not last.
All three are registered on the National Specialist Register and see patients by appointment at all Qualiteeth branches. Meet our doctors.
Full mouth rehabilitation step by step
- Consultation and records. A full examination, X-rays, photos and models or scans of your teeth and bite.
- Treatment plan and preview. The specialist designs the new teeth and bite, often with a Digital Smile Design preview, and explains the options and the full cost.
- Foundation phase. Gum treatment, root canals, extractions and fillings so every remaining tooth is healthy.
- Temporary teeth. Temporary crowns let you test the new bite, appearance and speech for a few weeks, and adjustments are made before anything is final.
- Final restorations. Crowns, bridges, implant teeth or dentures are made to match the approved temporaries.
- Protection and maintenance. A night guard if you grind, and regular reviews and cleaning to keep the result lasting.
Treatment usually takes a few months, and longer if implants need time to heal.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between full mouth rehabilitation and a smile makeover?
A smile makeover focuses on the appearance of the front teeth, for example with veneers. Full mouth rehabilitation restores the health and function of all the teeth and the bite, and improves appearance at the same time.
Who does full mouth rehabilitation at Qualiteeth?
Full mouth cases are planned by our prosthodontist, with our restorative dentistry specialist and periodontist, all registered on the National Specialist Register.
How long does full mouth rehabilitation take?
Most cases take a few months from planning to final teeth. Cases with implants or gum surgery can take longer because of healing time.
Can I keep my own teeth?
Where teeth can be saved with gum treatment, root canals and crowns, the specialists will aim to keep them. Teeth that cannot be saved are replaced with bridges, implants or dentures.
