The guide has a bone-conforming member and a dental-interface member connected by a bridging member, the inner surfaces of the bone-conforming member and the dental interface member conforming to the topographical surfaces of the patient's bone and teeth. The dental-interface member abuts the front and sides of the teeth. A similarly designed fixation implant may also be provided.
