Abstract
An implant for supporting a prosthesis includes a base sheet that has a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis. At least two holes extend through the base sheet. A post is connected to the base sheet. The temporary dental implant is installed over a patient's jaw bone by exposing the jaw bone by displacing covering tissue. The base sheet is shaped into a U-shape so that the legs of the U-shape are directed away from the post. The shaped base sheet is installed over the jaw bone by securing the covering tissue to the jaw bone and loading a prosthesis onto the post.
