An elongated flat body member has an implant end arranged to be embedded in the jaw bone and a post end arranged to project out of the jaw bone for support of a tooth crown. The post end of the body member has a lateral projection which serves as an abutment locator for a permanent crown mounted on the post end. The post end of the body member has a highly polished smooth surface area which forms a re-contouring portion for gum tissue as it heals around the body member. The implant end has a tapered shoulder and the polished area has tapered portions leading into these tapered shoulder portions of the implant end.
