ABSTRACT:
A dental implant comprises an elongated body and a supporting ring each with a concave surfaces which cooperate to secure a shock force dampening member so as to simulate natural tooth movement. The components of the implant are tensioned together in the presence and absence of chewing forces to prevent foreign particle invasion between and into the components of the implant. Optionally, an adhesive bonds the elongated body and the supporting ring to the shock force dampening member further preventing foreign particle invasion between and into the components of the implant. The implant is secured to the jaw bone by a socket or the like.
