1. A tooth implant system comprising an upper abutment, a lower abutment, a crown, and an elastic member,
wherein the elastic member is securely placed between the upper abutment and the lower abutment,
wherein the lower abutment comprises of a lower-abutment section and a fixture section,
wherein the crown securely attaches to the upper abutment, and the fixture section is adapted to be implanted into a patient's jawbone,
wherein the elastic member is exposed between a gap between the upper abutment and the lower abutment,
wherein the elastic member has an elastic-member hole wherein the upper abutment has an upper-abutment hole and the lower abutment has a lower-abutment receptacle,
wherein the upper abutment securely affixes to the lower abutment with a screw through the upper-abutment hole and the elastic-member hole, into the lower-abutment receptacle,
wherein the upper abutment has a post below an upper abutment hole so that the post presses down on the elastic member when the screw secures the upper abutment, the elastic member, and the lower abutment,
wherein the lower-abutment section and the fixture section form a transition line,
wherein the lower-abutment section has a sloping surface sloping upwards to a narrower diameter at an upper-lower-abutment surface than a wider diameter at the transition line formed between the lower-abutment section and the fixture section,
wherein the post forms a press-down wall along the upper abutment hole,
wherein the implant system further comprised of a ring lock,
wherein the upper abutment has an upper chamber with an upper-chamber wall, and a lower chamber with a lower-chamber wall,
wherein the sloping surface of the lower abutment section has a ring-lock groove that holds the ring lock in place,
wherein the sloping surface of the lower abutment section and the elastic member fits into the lower chamber, and
wherein the screw is larger than the lower abutment receptacle so that the insertion of the screw deeper into the lower abutment receptacle pushes the ring-lock groove and the ring lock outwardly to force the elastic member against the lower-chamber wall of the upper abutment.
