1. A multi-piece dental prosthesis comprising:
an implant operable to be implanted into a bone of a patient;
an abutment removably engaged with the implant;
wherein a front portion of an exterior surface of the abutment defines a cross-sectional shape, and wherein a central opening of the abutment further defines a second cross sectional shape to receive a bit to axially rotate the abutment;
wherein the implant defines an opening having a matching cross-sectional shape to the abutment front portion at its top, the abutment cross-sectional shape and matching opening cross-sectional shape engageable together, to prevent axial rotation of the abutment relative to the implant;
a ti-base defining a central opening, and being engageable with the abutment;
further comprising a crown attached to the ti-base, wherein the crown defines an opening through its height in communication with the central opening of the ti-base; and
wherein the central opening of the ti-base has a minimum cross-sectional area greater than a maximum cross sectional area of the implant, such that the implant can fully pass through the ti-base.
