ABSTRACT:
A method of attaching a dental implant includes the making of a dental implant having the general shape and size to fit a bone cavity for a removed tooth plus a cylindrical extension prong to fit a drilled bore in the bottom of the cavity formed by the removed tooth. The dental implant also has a non-circular shaped opening in the top thereof with a threaded bore in the bottom of the opening for attaching an insert thereto. The method includes extracting a patient's tooth, selecting a drill guide having the general shape of the bone cavity from the removed tooth and having a bore therethrough, then passing a drill bit through the drill guide bore and drilling a bore in a predetermined position in the bottom portion of the bone cavity. The dental implant is selected of a predetermined size and anchored in the bone cavity. A temporary generally flat head insert is attached to the implant and is later replaced with the tooth holding insert and an artificial tooth attached thereto.
