Abstract
A dental implant method comprises securing a denture to a denture receiving component installed to a wearer's dental arch, using normal hand force. The denture receiving component includes a first interlocking platform configured to mate lock with a second interlocking platform in the denture to secure the denture. The second interlocking platform is further configured to detach from the first interlocking platform to release the denture using normal hand force. The denture can be fully held in place by the denture receiving component and does not require gum tissue coverage or extraneous elements for support.

- securing a denture to a denture receiving component, the denture receiving component being installed to a dental implant embedded in a wearer's dental arch using at least one attachment screw engaged through a screw access hole within the denture receiving component,
- wherein the denture receiving component includes a first interlocking platform,
- wherein the denture includes false teeth coupled to a second interlocking platform,
- wherein the second interlocking platform is configured to mate lock with the first interlocking platform to secure the denture using normal hand force,
- wherein the second interlocking platform is configured to detach from the first interlocking platform to release the denture using normal hand force,
