Assuming that the periodontal condition is normal what we need to find out first is to how much tooth structure needs to be built up. If there has been a lot of destruction of tooth structure than you may need to use posts and cores to provide stability to the crowns.
To increase the bite you may need to place crowns on all teeth. First place temporary crowns for at least six weeks and see if the patient is comfortable. Then convert them into permanent crowns.
If there has been a lot of attrition it would be preferable to perform endodontic treatment on all teeth which need to be crowned.
The case will need to be planned on a hanau articulator.
Hope this helps. If you are able to post images and/ or radiographs you may get a more refined response.
