Abstract
A dental implant has an implant body made of diamond material, the implant body being provided with a bore hole that has at least one lateral dimension and a depth dimension, the lateral dimension and the depth dimension being mm sized. The bore hole is substantially formed by laser light being directed at the implant body to form said bore hole by softening said diamond material at an intended location of said bore hole. The bore hole is further defined by utilizing at least one metallic drilling tool to remove more of the diamond material after initial formation of the bore hole by said laser light. Preferably, the drilling tool has a cone shaped drilling head or a rectangular drilling head.
