A process for preparing and implanting endosteal implants, and the implant used for the process. A tooth is extracted leaving a socket wall behind, which remains suitably fresh for a sufficient period of time. Promptly after extraction, a model is made of at least the major portion of the tooth. A replica is made of titanium or of a material having the property of osseointegration. While the socket is still suitably fresh, the replica is inserted the socket in surface to surface contiguity with a substantial area of the socket wall so as to provide an osseointegrated implant.
