A complete truly anatomical dental implant system to replace missing teeth in both the maxillary and mandibular arch. The primary uniqueness of the present invention is in the creation of a unique tooth shaped dental implant that is placed into the jawbone. In addition, the present invention involves and exposes a new procedure, method and apparatus for creating a truly tooth shape cavity into the jawbone which matches the unique tooth shaped implant, thereby providing stability of the implant at placement. Thirdly, the present invention exposes a special cutting tool bit tip that is used in a vibrating and/or oscillating action to produce a hole in the bone that matches the chosen tooth shaped implant. The tooth shaped implant is essentially tapered and triangularly shaped for anterior teeth and some cuspid teeth. The tooth shaped implant is essentially tapered oval-shaped for bicuspid teeth, cuspid teeth and molar teeth. The oval-shaped implant can also be used sideways in many locations throughout the mouth. The tooth shaped implant is essentially tapered oval-rectangular shaped for molar teeth.
A dental implant to be implanted into a jawbone to support an abutment and tooth analogue in the shape of an anterior tooth to replace an anterior tooth, comprising:
A dental implant to be implanted into a jawbone to support an abutment and tooth analogue in the shape of a cuspid tooth to replace a cuspid tooth, comprising:
A dental implant to be implanted into a jawbone to support an abutment and tooth analogue in the shape of a molar tooth to replace a molar tooth, comprising:
A dental implant to be implanted into a jawbone to replace an anterior tooth, comprising a tapered rounded triangular shaped implant having an exterior surface, a top surface and configured to taper from the top surface to an apex wherein the general cross-section of the implant from its top surface to its apex is tapered rounded triangular shape in cross-section.
A dental implant to be implanted into a jawbone to replace a cuspid tooth, comprising a tapered rounded triangular shaped implant having an exterior surface, a top surface and configured to taper from the top surface to an apex wherein the general cross-section of the implant from its top surface to its apex is tapered rounded triangular shape in cross-section.
A dental implant to be implanted into a jawbone to replace a molar tooth, comprising a tapered oval-rectangular shaped implant having an exterior surface, a top surface and configured to taper from the top surface to an apex wherein the general cross-section of the implant from its top surface to its apex is tapered oval-rectangular shape in cross-section.
