This clinical report describes a technique to stabilize a computer‐aided dental implant surgical guide to existing implants. A patient requested conversion of her existing mandibular implant‐assisted overdenture into a fixed complete denture. The surgical procedure was planned virtually, and the two existing dental implants were integrated into the surgical plan as a means to fixate the surgical guide. The implants were placed, and the patient's prosthesis was converted into an interim fixed complete denture.
