Patent number: 11123161Abstract: A dental implant system can include an upper implant body coupled to a lower body with a cavity between the upper and lower implant bodies. The system can further include an anchor at least partially disposed within the cavity. The system can also include an abutment that couples to the anchor and serves as a mounting area for a crown. The anchor can be rotatable and swivelable, allowing the lower implant body to be implanted at an angle in bone while permitting the crown to be positioned in a natural tooth orientation.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: JBSG MANAGEMENT LLCInventors: Jim Mcbride, Gonzalo Covarrubias, Souhail Toubia, Bradford Staph

Patent number: 9078719Abstract: A dental implant system is described, including a lower implant body configured to be implanted in bone, and an upper implant body that couples to the lower body, thereby forming a cavity between upper and lower bodies. The system can further include a rotatable, swivelable anchor having a base at least partially disposed within the cavity. The anchor may have a shaft coupled to the base and extending through an opening in the upper body. The system may also include an abutment that couples to the shaft of the anchor and serves as a mounting area for a crown. The anchor's rotatability and swivelability allow the lower implant body to be implanted at an angle in bone while permitting the crown to be positioned in a natural tooth orientation.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2014Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: JBSG MANAGEMENT LLCInventors: Jim McBride, Gonzalo Covarrubias, Souhail Toubia, Bradford Staph
