1. A dental appliance set, comprising:
a base frame configured to engage at least one of a gum tissue area, a bone structure, an existing detention, and an artificial fixed prosthesis of a patient;
the base frame having an arcuate shaped structure with an inner lateral surface and an outer lateral surface, the inner lateral surface defining at least one outer-lateral contact configured to selectively engage a corresponding outer lateral surface of one of the gum tissue area and the bone structure in an initial installed orientation without obstructing a surgical site region of an alveolar ridge of a patient jaw, an uppermost surface of the arcuate shaped structure sized to terminate below the alveolar ridge when in the initial installed orientation, the base frame being further formed to include a first connector element; and
at least one attachment having an exterior surface that extends over at least a portion of the uppermost surface of the arcuate shaped structure of the base frame and that is attachable to the base frame using a second connector element selectively engaging the first connector element to align the at least one attachment with the base frame;
wherein the at least one attachment is configured to obstruct at least a portion of the surgical site region of the alveolar ridge; and
wherein the at least one attachment is configured to be fully received in the patient's mouth when attached to the base frame.
