While I agree about the quota part, it's worth noting that a lot of them end up staying in the public sector (i.e government-run dental clinics which foreigners don't have easy access to). The less-than-stellar ones don't make it to the private sector, nor do most of them aspire to.
If you're going to the private sector like the OP, then you shouldn't worry too much about that.

My wife is considering to travel to KL to do some procedures. But if situation is how you describe, it most likely will change her opinion.
