• b. a first bolt member being longer than said interior bore of said divergent body, such that after the first bolt member extends through said interior bore of said divergent body from said proximal end of said divergent body, the first bolt member securely fastens said divergent body to said exposed end of said implant fixture;
• c. an abutment head for supporting a tooth analogue and having a generally frusto-conical shaped body, the frusto-conical shaped body having a proximal end, a distal end, and an interior bore extending from the proximal end to the distal end, the proximal end of the frusto-conical shaped body installed on said distal end of said divergent body;

• b. a matching abutment member further comprising,
• (i) a proximal bolt portion having a head segment and an elongated shaft segment, the shaft segment having outer screw threads, the shaft segment being longer than said interior bore of said healing abutment, such that after the shaft segment extends through said interior bore of said healing abutment from said proximal end of said healing abutment, there is still a substantial portion of the outer screw threads of the shaft segment which can be threadably engaged with said implant fixture for fastening said healing abutment to said exposed end of said implant fixture, and
• (ii) a generally frusto-conical shaped distal head portion for supporting a tooth analogue and having a larger proximal end and a smaller distal end, the larger proximal end integrally connected to said head segment of said proximal bolt portion;
• c. whereby said facial-side portion of said healing abutment accommodates the contour of the gingival tissue at the facial side of said patient and said lingual-side portion of said healing abutment accommodates the contour of the gingival tissue at the lingual side of said patient.
