A subperiosteal implant has a prefabricated elongated plate of pliable, work-hardenable material. A short projection extends from one surface of the plate and defines an aperture which receives a post for supporting an artificial tooth structure. The prefabricated implant is inserted through a lateral incision in the gum tissue, and is then molded to the bone. Subsequently the incision is sutured and the post is installed on the support plate.
