Abstract
A dental anchor implant device anchors false teeth securely within a user's mouth. The device includes a base having a convex upper surface and a concave lower surface wherein the base is configured for positioning on and coupling to a top of a jawbone. An anchor is coupled to and extends upwardly from the upper surface of the base. A post extends upwardly from a top surface of the anchor. A tooth has a socket extending into a bottom surface of the tooth. The post is positionable in the socket wherein the post inhibits lateral movement of the bottom surface of the tooth relative to the top surface of the anchor. The bottom surface of the tooth is substantially complementary to the top surface of the anchor.
Claims11
A dental anchor implant device comprising:
- a base having a convex upper surface and a concave lower surface wherein said base is configured for positioning on and coupling to a top of a jawbone;
- an anchor coupled to and extending upwardly from said upper surface of said base, said anchor having a top surface;
- a post extending upwardly from said top surface of said anchor;
- a tooth, said tooth having a socket extending into a bottom surface of said tooth, said post being positionable in said socket wherein said post inhibits lateral movement of said bottom surface relative to said top surface of said anchor, said bottom surface of said tooth being substantially complementary to said top surface of said anchor wherein said bottom surface of said tooth abuts said top surface of said anchor when said tooth is positioned on said anchor;
- a pair of lateral wall extending downwardly from said tooth;
- and
- a pair of slots, each of said slots extending downwardly from said top surface of said anchor on an associated side of said anchor, each said lateral wall being received in an associated one of said slots when said tooth is positioned on said anchor.

A dental anchor implant device comprising:
- a base having a convex upper surface and a concave lower surface wherein said base is configured for positioning on and coupling to a top of a jawbone, said upper surface having a pair of lengthwise depressions extending between a first end of said base and a second end of said base wherein said upper surface is configured for facilitating retention of a user's gums over said upper surface when said base is coupled to the user's jaw;
- a plurality of ridges extending from said lower surface of said base, each of said ridges being parallel to a longitudinal axis of said base, said ridges being arranged into a first array positioned on a first lateral side of said lower surface of said base and a second array positioned on a second lateral side of said lower surface of said base, each of said ridges being substantially cylindrical having a circular transverse cross-sectional shape;
- an anchor coupled to and extending upwardly from said upper surface of said base, said anchor having a top surface;
- a plurality of posts, each said post extending upwardly from said top surface of said anchor, said posts being parallel and spaced extending upwardly from said top surface of said anchor, said posts being arranged into associated pairs, each said associated pair being laterally aligned along a longitudinal axis of said base;
- a tooth, said tooth having a socket extending into a bottom surface of said tooth, said post being positionable in said socket wherein said post inhibits lateral movement of said bottom surface relative to said top surface of said anchor, said bottom surface of said tooth being substantially complementary to said top surface of said anchor wherein said bottom surface of said tooth abuts said top surface of said anchor when said tooth is positioned on said anchor;
- a pair of lateral wall extending downwardly from said tooth, each lateral wall having a respective shoulder positioned proximate a terminal bottom end of said lateral wall;
- and
- a pair of slots, each of said slots extending downwardly from said top surface of said anchor on an associated side of said anchor, each said lateral wall being received in an associated one of said slots when said tooth is positioned on said anchor, each said shoulder abutting a base edge positioned proximate a bottom of a respective one of said slots.

- a plurality of anchors, each said anchor being coupled to and extending upwardly from said upper surface of said base, each said anchor having a respective top surface;
- a plurality of posts, each said post extending upwardly from said top surface of an associated one of said anchors, said posts extending from each said anchor being parallel and spaced extending upwardly from said top surface of said associated anchor, said posts being arranged into associated pairs, each said associated pair being laterally aligned along a longitudinal axis of said base;
- a plurality of teeth, each said tooth being couplable to an associated said anchor, each said tooth having a plurality of sockets extending into a bottom surface of said tooth, each said post being positionable in an associated one of said sockets wherein said posts inhibits lateral movement of said bottom surface relative to said upper surface of said associated anchor, said bottom surface of each said tooth being substantially complementary to said top surface of said associated anchor wherein said bottom surface of said tooth abuts said top surface of said associated anchor when said tooth is positioned on said associated anchor;
- a respective pair of lateral walls extending downwardly from each said tooth, each lateral wall having a respective shoulder positioned proximate a terminal bottom end of said lateral wall;
- and
- a respective pair of slots extending downwardly from said top surface of an associated said anchor, each said slot being positioned on an associated side of said associated anchor, each said lateral wall being received in an associated one of said slots when said tooth is positioned on said associated anchor, each said shoulder abutting a base edge positioned proximate a bottom of a respective one of said slots.
