Restoring the
Edentulous Arch

Build a Predictable, Comprehensive Approach to Full-Arch Implant Prosthetics 

In this immersive hands-on workshop, you’ll develop a clear clinical framework for evaluating edentulous patients, selecting the right prosthetic solution, and executing full-arch cases, from implant-retained overdentures to fixed-hybrid restorations. With more than 36 million fully edentulous patients in the US alone, mastering this skillset can transform your practice and the lives of your patients.

Increase Production with Full-Arch Implant Cases

Edentulous patients represent some of the most complex and most rewarding cases in restorative dentistry. The challenge for most clinicians isn’t whether implants can help, it’s having a reliable system for treatment planning, prosthetic selection, and surgical-restorative coordination that holds up under real clinical pressure. This workshop gives you that system, taught by Spear Resident Faculty in a collaborative small-group setting on Spear’s Scottsdale campus.

Participants Will Learn:
  • How to evaluate and classify the edentulous patient for prosthetic complexity
  • Prosthetically-driven implant placement planning : design the final outcome first
  • When to recommend an implant-retained overdenture versus a fixed-hybrid or fully fixed prosthesis
  • Locator attachments, bar-supported overdentures, and removable implant prosthetic workflows
  • Fixed-hybrid and implant-fixed prosthetic design, material selection, and occlusal management
  • Immediate versus conventional loading : indications, protocols, and risk mitigation
  • Lab communication workflows that reduce remakes and improve predictability
  • How to present full-arch implant options and set accurate patient expectations at the consultation
