This article proposes an approach to simplify the steps and reduce fabrication time for fixed implant‐supported complete dentures. A multifunctional guide can function as a surgical template during implant placement and provides a framework for the definitive impression and occlusal registration. It therefore enables immediate or early loading of dental implants in full‐arch rehabilitations.
