A carrier for a dental implant package to reliably and releasably hold a dental implant and to cap a packaging vial. The carrier includes a plurality of vial-engaging flexible fingers and a plurality of screw-engaging flexible fingers. The vial-engaging fingers engage a groove of the packaging vial to form a releasable mechanical lock. For cylindrical implants, the screw-engaging fingers grip a healing screw coupled to the cylindrical implant. The cylindrical implant carrier also includes a protrusion in the center to stabilize the cylindrical implant during transportation. For threaded implants, the screw-engaging fingers releasably engage a groove of an insertion tool screw coupled to the threaded implant. Advantageously, the carrier of the present invention provides a reliable long-term hold on a dental implant and a simple but effective removable cap for a packaging vial for the implant.
