The approach
Biomechanical philosophy
FPX pairs a biomechanical philosophy with the surgical and prosthetic workflow that delivers it.
Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation
Making FP1 excellence predictable for doctors, accessible for patients
FPX provides consistent and predictable results through education and lab technology.
About FPX
What is FPX?
A future-proofed full-arch implant rehabilitation concept that blends FP1 esthetics with FP2/FP3 biomechanical positioning.
The foundation
Preserve bone long term
Force spreads across the arch instead of loading a few implants, which preserves bone and keeps revision surgery rare.
The future
Future-proofed design
Bone and soft tissue change over decades. FPX lets the restoration adapt years after placement instead of assuming conditions hold.
FP1 esthetics
with FP3 reliability
FPX offers a conservative, customizable approach, with abutment replacement providing a potential option for managing certain cases without immediately resorting to more extensive revision surgery.
The clinician behind FPX
Built by a clinician,
shared with clinicians.
Dr. Micah Weisenberg built FPX for his own patients. Rather than keep the protocol inside one practice, he partnered with labs and educators to put it in other clinicians’ hands.
The aim is to make FP1 treatment routine for the patients who need it, rather than a showcase case you post to Instagram.
Methodology
The FPX Methodology
Five biomechanical and biological principles, planned together so the restoration can adapt as bone and tissue change.
Implant position
5–6 mmImplant platform apical to the planned gingival zenith
- Conventional
- Implant depth is set from the existing bone crest.
- FPX
- The vertical complex is planned backward from the gingival zenith, and a longer MUA returns the restorative platform to a supracrestal position.
Bone loading
Wolff’s LawBone adapts to the load it carries
- Conventional
- Rigid cross-arch splinting shields bone from load.
- FPX
- Implants engage cortical and cancellous bone, and force travels along the implant so the bone stays loaded.
Segmentation
6 implantsThree under each hemi-arch segment
- Conventional
- One rigid framework spans the whole arch.
- FPX
- A full-arch provisional stabilizes the implants during healing. The definitive restoration is split at the midline into two segments that can be serviced separately.
3D alveolar scalloping
3DContoured mesial-distally and buccal-lingually
- Conventional
- Bone is reduced to a flat platform.
- FPX
- Crestal peaks are preserved, and space is created only where the implant, MUA, and restoration need it.
Soft-tissue architecture
≥ 2 mmKeratinized mucosa band linked to lower peri-implantitis risk
- Conventional
- Soft tissue is managed to close around the provisional.
- FPX
- Tissue is planned for width, thickness, and height so the restoration stays cleansable and stable.

Complete FPX Solutions
FPX provides coordinated planning, guided surgical solutions, and restorative design for implant dentistry—from single units and implant bridges to complex FP1, FP2, and FP3 full-arch reconstruction.
Plan
Comprehensive Implant & Full-Arch Planning
FPX planning begins with the intended tooth position, esthetics, tissue architecture, and restorative requirements—then works backward to determine the implant, abutment, and surgical plan required to support that result.
Key Features
- Prosthetically driven implant planning
- FP1, FP2, and FP3 treatment design
- MUA and abutment selection
- Case-specific surgical sequencing
Precision Surgical Guides
Custom surgical guide systems designed to transfer the FPX treatment plan accurately and efficiently to the clinical environment.
Key Features
- Guided implant placement
- Prosthetically driven osteotomy positioning
- Guided alveolar contouring when indicated
- Stackable and case-specific guide configurations
Restore
Full-Arch Prosthetics
Custom definitive restorations designed according to the esthetic, biologic, and mechanical requirements of each individual case.
Key Features
- FP1, FP2, and FP3 restorative design
- Screw-retained MUA-level prosthetics
- Full-arch or segmented definitive designs
- Patient-specific emergence profiles
Implant Bridges & Single Units
The same prosthetically driven planning philosophy extends beyond full-arch reconstruction.
Key Features
- Single implant crowns
- Implant-supported bridges
- Custom restorative design
- Abutment-level planning
MUA & Abutment Planning
Abutment selection is treated as part of the biologic and restorative plan rather than an isolated prosthetic decision.
Key Features
- Case-specific MUA selection
- Multiple height options
- Supracrestal restorative-platform planning
- Emergence-profile coordination
Case Support
Collaborative Case Management
Complex implant treatment rarely follows a perfectly linear pathway.
Key Features
- Preoperative case coordination
- Planning revisions
- Surgical workflow support
- Case-specific troubleshooting
More Than Components. A Coordinated Treatment System. FPX brings surgical planning, biologic architecture, guided execution, and restorative design into one connected workflow.

One-on-One + Live Surgery
In-Office Mentorship
For clinicians who want direct case-based support, FPX offers individualized mentorship in the doctor's own practice using their own patient, team, and clinical environment.
Mentorship Format
- One surgery: minimum 2-day mentorship
- Preoperative case planning
- Live surgical mentorship
- Postoperative review
Recommended
Combined Pathway
Complete the model-based course first, then reinforce the concepts through live mentorship on your own case.
This provides the strongest combination of understanding + application + repetition.
FPX Can Meet You Where You Are You do not have to complete the classroom course before scheduling mentorship.
