Dental implant fabrication and insertion methods and personalized dental implant for use therein

A dental implant insertion method, comprising the steps of:

• extracting a natural tooth from a patient;
• and
• inserting, into a socket created by the extraction, a dental implant fabricated prior to the extraction by a computer-controlled milling machine using a computer model generated using data from one or more digital images depicting the natural tooth.

A dental implant, comprising:

• an upper structure;
• and
• a root structure coupled with the upper structure, wherein the dental implant is fabricated by a computer-controlled milling machine using a computer model generated using data from one or more digital images depicting a natural tooth.

A dental implant fabrication system, comprising:

• a modeling station adapted to generate, using data from one or more digital images depicting a natural tooth taken by a digital imaging device, a computer model of a dental implant;
• and
• a computer-operated milling machine adapted to fabricate, using the computer model, the dental implant.
