Bone foundation guide system and method

A method comprising:

• (a) removably attaching an anchoring member to a bone foundation guide;
• (b) securing the bone foundation guide relative to a first alveolar ridge of a patient;
• (c) removing the anchoring member from the bone foundation guide;
• (d) coupling a dental implant surgical guide with the bone foundation guide;
• (e) forming one or more openings in the first alveolar ridge via the dental implant surgical guide;
• (f) removing the surgical guide from the bone foundation guide;
• and
• (g) coupling a gasket with the bone foundation guide, the gasket having a surface facing a second alveolar ridge of the patient, the gasket including one or more openings positioned to correspond with the one or more openings formed in the first alveolar ridge.

A kit comprising:

• (a) a bone foundation guide configured to be secured relative to a first alveolar ridge of a patient;
• (b) an anchoring member, the anchoring member being configured to couple with the bone foundation guide during securement of the bone foundation guide relative to the first alveolar ridge, the anchoring member being configured for removal after securement of the bone foundation guide relative to the first alveolar ridge;
• (c) a dental implant surgical guide, the dental implant surgical guide including a body configured to couple with the bone foundation guide, the body having a plurality of apertures positioned to locate a plurality of implants in the first alveolar ridge of the patient;
• and
• (d) a gasket, the gasket including a body configured to couple with the bone foundation guide, the body of the gasket having a plurality of apertures positioned to correspond with locations of implants in the alveolar ridge of the patient, the body further including surface configured to face a second alveolar ridge of the patient.
