A staple which is compressively affixed to the mandibular jaw with lag screws, a drill guide apparatus having a plane guide and drilling barrel for proper alignment of the staple and a method for proper implantation of the staple. The staple is provided with a plurality of parallel transosteal pins which are mounted on a mounting axis which extends in a direction parallel to the axis of compression. The plane guide has a curvilinear aperture to extend around the jaw bone for forming a planar mating surface on the bone with a grinding tool. The drilling barrel accepts a plurality of removable sleeves for guiding drill bits of different sizes. A sleeve nut is mounted on each transosteal pin of the staple to accept a dental prosthesis. A sleeve portion of the sleeve nut extends through the gingiva to reduce irritation.
