Abstract:
A dental implant system comprises a base member that is adapted to be embedded within a patient's jawbone at a treatment site. The base member has a generally flat top defining an outer periphery, a buccal side, a lingual side, a bottom, and a central opening. The lingual side or the buccal side is longer than the other. The base member is configured to be positioned within a recess in the patient's jawbone. An implant screw comprises a head and a threaded end. The threaded end is adapted to pass through the central opening of the base member and into the patient's jawbone, and the head is adapted to be seated within the central opening of the base member after the threaded end is screwed into the patient's jawbone. An abutment is configured to be placed onto the top of the base member.
