A dental apparatus and methods of use for placing a cord beneath a gum line proximate to a dental implant abutment, attachment, or fixture, the dental apparatus including a handle and a cord tucking tool secured to at least one end of the handle. The cord tucking tool is provided with a shape complementary to the radius of the base of the involved portion of a dental implant, such as a concave region or tapered face, such that when the tip of the cord tucking tool contacts a length of the cord, contact between the cord tucking tool and the dental implant is minimized.
