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 side defining an outer periphery, a bottom side,
a central opening, and at least one screw hole positioned between the
central opening and the outer periphery. The system also includes an
implant screw that is adapted to pass through the central opening of the
base member and into the patient's jawbone. The system further includes a
securing screw that is smaller in size than the implant screw and has a
head and a threaded end. The threaded end of the securing screw passes
through the screw hole of the base member and into the patient's jawbone.
