In short: Full mouth rehabilitation at Smile Hub Clinics restores every tooth in both jaws — combining implants, crowns, bridges, or other treatments into one coordinated plan led by an FCPS prosthodontist. Cases involving implants typically take 6–12 months from assessment to final restorations; crown-and-bridge cases without implants can complete in 6–8 weeks. There is no single fixed price — cost is built from the components your case requires, with a free written estimate and staged payment plan provided at consultation.
What Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation — also called full mouth reconstruction — is the process of rebuilding or restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws simultaneously. Unlike a smile makeover which is primarily cosmetic, full mouth rehabilitation addresses both function and aesthetics: rebuilding a bite that works, eliminating pain, restoring the ability to eat properly, and transforming appearance.
It is the most complex and comprehensive treatment in dentistry. It requires a prosthodontist — a specialist trained specifically in full-arch restoration — to plan and coordinate multiple procedures across an extended treatment timeline. At Smile Hub Clinics, Dr. Abdullah Karamat leads all full mouth cases, supported by our in-house endodontist and general dentists.
Who Needs Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Most or all teeth missing
Severe tooth decay across multiple teeth
Heavily worn teeth from grinding (bruxism)
Trauma or accident causing multiple tooth loss
Failed previous dental work throughout mouth
Severely collapsed bite affecting jaw function
Advanced periodontal disease with bone loss
Old metal crowns needing full replacement
Congenital conditions affecting tooth development
Long-term denture wearers wanting fixed teeth
Treatment Options
Most Permanent
Full Arch Implant Rehabilitation
Multiple implants placed across the full upper and/or lower arch, supporting a fixed zirconia bridge. The most durable, functional, and aesthetic solution. Cannot be removed — functions exactly like natural teeth.
Implant-Supported
All-on-4 / All-on-6
A complete arch restored on just 4 or 6 strategically placed implants. Fewer implants required, often possible even with reduced bone volume. Fixed teeth delivered in significantly less time.
Hybrid
Combined Crown & Implant
Some teeth restored with crowns and bridges, while missing teeth are replaced with implants. Each tooth treated according to its individual condition — the most customised approach.
Removable Option
Implant-Supported Overdenture
A full denture anchored to implants via locator attachments. More stable than conventional dentures, less expensive than fully fixed implants. Removable for cleaning.
The Full Mouth Rehabilitation Process
1
Comprehensive Assessment
A full clinical examination including X-rays, bite analysis, jaw joint assessment, photographs, and study models. This forms the foundation of the entire treatment plan. No treatment begins without a complete diagnostic picture.
2
Treatment Planning & Sequencing
A detailed plan is presented covering every tooth, the sequence of procedures, timeline, and costs. For implant cases this includes bone assessment and surgical planning. You approve the plan before anything begins.
3
Preparatory Phase
Any required extractions, root canal treatments, bone grafting, or periodontal treatment is completed first. The mouth must be disease-free and healthy before restorations are placed. This phase ensures the long-term success of everything that follows.
4
Implant Placement
For implant-based cases, titanium implants are placed surgically into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. A healing period of 2–4 months allows osseointegration — the implant fusing with the bone — before the final restorations are made.
5
Restorative Phase
Crowns, bridges, and implant-supported prostheses are fabricated and fitted. Shade, shape, and bite are verified at every stage. Temporary restorations allow you to preview the final result before permanent placement.
6
Final Delivery & Review
Permanent restorations are delivered, occlusion is carefully adjusted, and oral hygiene instructions are provided for the new dentition. Follow-up appointments confirm everything is functioning correctly and comfortably.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation Pricing in Lahore
Full mouth rehabilitation is a combination treatment — there is no fixed bundle price because every case is different. Your plan is built from the individual procedures it requires, and the final cost reflects exactly the treatment you need, nothing more.
Published Component Prices (2026)
Dental Implants (per implant + abutment)
PKR 85,000 — Izen (economical system)
PKR 130,000 — BioHorizons (premium system)
Crowns (per unit)
PKR 20,000 — PFM crown
PKR 35,000 — Zirconia crown
Veneers (per tooth, where required)
PKR 35,000 — E.max ceramic
PKR 12,000 — Composite
Bone grafting (where needed) is approximately PKR 35,000 per gram, with membranes from PKR 30,000 — charged only if your case requires it. For context: a full arch case involving 6–8 implants with zirconia bridgework is a significant investment, but is typically 4–6 times more affordable at specialist level in Lahore than equivalent treatment in the UK, US, or Gulf. Payment is staged to match treatment phases. The consultation that produces your written estimate is free.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does full mouth rehabilitation take?
It depends on the treatment required. Cases involving implants typically take 6–12 months from start to finish — this includes healing time between implant placement and final restoration. Crown-and-bridge based cases without implants can often be completed in 6–8 weeks. During your consultation, Dr. Abdullah will outline a realistic timeline specific to your case.
Is full mouth rehabilitation painful?
All procedures are performed under local anaesthesia — you will not feel pain during treatment. Surgical phases such as extractions and implant placement may cause some soreness for a few days afterwards, managed with standard pain relief. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the process is when it is well planned and executed correctly.
What is the difference between full mouth rehabilitation and a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic — improving the appearance of teeth that are functionally sound. Full mouth rehabilitation addresses both function and aesthetics — rebuilding teeth that are broken, missing, infected, or causing bite problems. Full mouth rehab is more complex, takes longer, and requires specialist-level prosthodontic planning. Many full mouth rehab cases also include cosmetic improvements as part of the restoration.
How long do full mouth implant restorations last?
Titanium implants are designed to be permanent — with proper care, they can last a lifetime. The zirconia crowns and bridges on top typically last 15–20 years before needing replacement, though many last longer. Longevity depends heavily on oral hygiene, maintenance appointments, and whether the patient grinds their teeth. A night guard is usually recommended for full arch cases.
Can I get teeth in a day?
In some cases, temporary teeth can be placed on the same day as implant surgery — this is called immediate loading. Whether this is possible depends on the quality and quantity of available bone, the stability achieved at implant placement, and other clinical factors. Dr. Abdullah will assess your suitability at consultation. Even when immediate temporaries are placed, the final permanent teeth are still delivered after the healing period.
What is the cost of full mouth rehabilitation in Lahore?
Full mouth rehabilitation has no single fixed price — it is built case by case from the components your plan requires. The component prices we work from are published: implants from PKR 85,000 (Izen) or PKR 130,000 (BioHorizons) per implant with abutment; zirconia crowns PKR 35,000 per unit (PFM crowns PKR 20,000); E.max veneers PKR 35,000 per tooth where required; bone grafting approximately PKR 35,000 per gram if needed. Every plan comes as a written, phase-by-phase estimate before anything begins — payment staged to match each treatment phase. Consultation is free.
Can full mouth rehabilitation be done in stages?
Yes — staged treatment is how most full mouth cases are planned. Typically, preparatory work (extractions, root canals, grafting) is completed first, then implant placement, then restorations. The plan is broken into phases with clear costs at each stage, so you can proceed at a pace that suits your schedule and budget. Some patients complete full rehabilitation over 12–18 months, staging payments alongside treatment phases. We never pressure patients to rush.
Who is a good candidate for full mouth rehabilitation?
Most adults with severely compromised dentitions — whether from decay, trauma, long-standing tooth loss, or years of neglect — are potential candidates. Key considerations are: sufficient bone to support implants (or willingness to undergo grafting where needed), controlled overall health, and realistic expectations about the timeline. Cases involving bone loss, controlled diabetes, or a history of smoking are not automatic disqualifiers — they require more careful planning. A comprehensive clinical assessment with CBCT scanning determines suitability, and this assessment is free at Smile Hub Clinics.
What does the free consultation include?
A thorough clinical examination, X-rays (and CBCT 3D scan if indicated), a full assessment of your existing teeth and bone, an honest explanation of your options and realistic outcomes, and a written treatment plan with phase-by-phase cost breakdown. You leave with a clear picture of the entire process — timeline, procedures, and costs — before committing to anything.
What if I still have some remaining teeth — should they be removed?
Not necessarily. Each remaining tooth is assessed individually. If a tooth is restorable and in a position that supports the overall plan, we may build on it. If it is failing, heavily infected, or structurally compromised in a way that threatens the broader rehabilitation, extraction is recommended. We would never remove teeth simply for procedural convenience — the goal is always to preserve what can genuinely be preserved while building a stable, long-term result.
Can full mouth rehabilitation work if I have significant bone loss?
Often, yes. Bone loss is one of the most common challenges in full mouth cases and it is frequently addressable. Options include bone grafting (block or particulate), sinus lifts for upper back teeth, or implant protocols designed for reduced bone volume — such as All-on-4, which uses angulated implants to avoid areas of greatest bone loss. CBCT scanning lets us measure exactly what bone is available and plan accordingly. Cases that initially seem impossible frequently turn out to be achievable with the right diagnostic planning.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and full mouth implant rehabilitation?
All-on-4 is a specific protocol — four implants per arch, two placed straight and two angled at 45 degrees, supporting a full-arch fixed bridge. It was designed to work in reduced bone without grafting. Full mouth implant rehabilitation is a broader term: it can involve more implants, multiple prosthesis designs, and a more customised approach case by case. All-on-4 is one type of full mouth rehabilitation. Which approach is right for you depends on your bone volume, case complexity, aesthetic goals, and timeline — all assessed at the free consultation.
Will my teeth look completely natural?
Yes — that is the standard we plan and work to. Zirconia bridges and implant crowns can be shade-matched, shaped, and proportioned to look completely natural. A prosthodontist's training is specifically in designing restorations that integrate with your face and bite — not just fill the space. The outcome should be indistinguishable from a natural dentition in conversation and daily life.
Can I eat normally during treatment?
During the implant healing phase (typically 2–4 months while osseointegration takes place) you will have temporary restorations which are functional but less durable — a soft diet is recommended to protect the implants while they fuse with bone. Once the permanent restorations are placed, you can return to eating normally. Most patients find the dietary restrictions during healing very manageable once they understand the reason for them.
Do I need a night guard after full mouth rehabilitation?
For most full-arch implant cases, yes. Clenching and grinding (bruxism) is one of the main long-term threats to implant restorations — the forces generated during sleep can significantly exceed waking loads, and ceramic and zirconia restorations, while very hard, are not indestructible. A custom night guard is a straightforward, inexpensive way to protect an investment worth many times its cost. We will advise you honestly about whether your bite pattern suggests a grinding habit.
How does full mouth rehabilitation cost in Pakistan compare to the UK or Gulf?
Pakistan typically offers the same specialist-level materials — BioHorizons implants, zirconia bridges, E.max crowns — at a fraction of the cost in the UK, UAE, or US, commonly 4–6 times less for comparable quality work. This is why we see increasing numbers of overseas patients, including diaspora visiting Pakistan, choosing to have major rehabilitation done here. Our free consultation can be started remotely so your plan and written estimate are ready before you travel.
Can full mouth rehabilitation help with jaw pain or a collapsed bite?
Yes — for many patients, restoring a collapsed bite is the primary clinical reason for rehabilitation. Severe tooth loss and wear can cause the bite to collapse, which overloads the jaw joints (TMJs), causes facial muscle fatigue, and changes facial proportions. Rebuilding the bite to a correct, supported vertical dimension is a core part of prosthodontic treatment planning. If jaw pain or bite problems are your main concern, that is an important part of your consultation — Dr. Abdullah will assess your TMJs, bite, and facial proportions as part of the comprehensive examination.
