Abstract:
1. A method of attaching a dental implant comprising the steps of: extracting a tooth of a patient to create an osteotomy socket in a jawbone of the patient; selecting a dental implant having: drilling the osteotomy socket with a drill matched to a diameter and a chosen length of the implant body to thereby improve fixation of the implant to the jawbone; drilling the socket with a counter bevel drill to widen the socket for accepting the at least lower section of the anatomically shaped portion of the implant; attaching the selected dental implant into the created socket with the abutment extending above adjacent gum tissue of the patient and with a top edge of the nearly parallel walls above a crest of adjacent jawbone; and attaching an artificial tooth to the abutment above the adjacent jawbone crest by setting a margin of the artificial tooth along the nearly parallel walls to a position between an edge of the adjacent gum tissue and the adjacent jawbone crest.
