An angled support having a lower circular base and an upper female prosthesis receptacle is secured within to the implant anchor, the securing being through lower circular base being engaged with and adhered to the upper circular receptacle of the implant anchor. The circular base has a first longitudinal axis and the upper female prosthesis receptacle has a second longitudinal axis forming a mounting angle with respect to one another. A dental prosthesis having a male extension shaped for cooperative engagement with the upper female prosthesis receptacle of the implant anchor is secured to the implant anchor by such cooperative engagement.
