A dental implant includes a first member (100) having a proximal end (102)
and a distal end (104) and extends along a longitudinal axis (62). The
proximal end (102) has an axial end surface (103). The first member (102)
is formed from a first material. A second member (70) is integrally
formed with the first member (100) and is adapted to receive a dental
prosthesis (150). The second member (70) engages the entire proximal end
surface (103) of the first member (100). The second member (70)
intersects the axis (62) of the first member (100) at the proximal end
surface (103) to prevent access to the proximal end surface (103) of the
first member (100) through the second member (70). The second member (70)
is formed from a polymer that is different from the first material of the
first member (100).
