Dental prosthesis support apparatus includes a plurality of dental
implants having self-tapping threads on a lower portion thereof for
seating in a jawbone and an upper portion for enabling engagement
therewith. An armature is provided having sufficient flexibility to be
aligned with the jawbone and engaged along the upper portions of each of
the plurality of dental implants seated in the jawbone. The armature is
formed from a material enabling subsequent rigidization. The method
includes installing a plurality of dental implants into a jawbone in a
spaced apart relationship and thereafter removably disposing an armature
onto each of the plurality of dental implants and aligning the armature
with the jawbone. The armature is removed and rigidized to the jawbone
alignment and thereafter affixed onto each of the implants.
