Claim 12:
13. A method for the replacement of missing bone and inadequate bone level, the method comprising:
preparing an implant block from a block of a material by shaping the block to fit a gap in at least one of a bone wherein the shape of the block is at least partially based off of scan data of a patient's jaw and the implant block substantially conforms to the shape of the gap such that an upper edge of the implant block is approximately equal in level with the patient's jaw;
boring one or more implant block holes into the implant block;
boring one or more apertures into the implant block and inserting one or more dental implants which are further comprised of at least an indentation to receive a cushioning ball bearing;
placing the implant block into the gap in a bone;
placing one or more implant screws into the one or more implant block holes:
using a securing mechanism to secure the implant block to the bone;
filling the implant block with a particulate filler medium to fill in the honeycomb structure; and placing a membrane over the implant block to contain the filler medium;
preparing one or more tooth abutment-crowns where each comprises a shaft, at least one cushioning ball bearing on a bottom surface of each of the one or more tooth abutment-crowns and at least one cushioning ball bearing on a side surface of each of the one or more tooth abutment-crowns, and a crown and each is created as a monolith from a single piece of material wherein the one or more tooth abutment crowns has at least one indentation on the shaft substantially shaped to receive a portion of the cushioning ball bearing;
placing the one or more tooth abutment-crowns into the one or more dental implants such that each tooth abutment-crown is located. in substantially the position a natural tooth crown would be and the cushioning ball bearings are movably embedded into indentations inside the implant block corresponding to the location of the cushioning ball bearings on the one or more tooth abutment-crowns.
