A driver assembly for driving a dental implant into an implantation site comprises a driver assembly having an abutment assembly, and a driver assembly. The lower portion of the driver assembly accommodates the upper portion of the abutment assembly in a rotation-preventing manner so as to prevent relative rotation between the driver assembly and the abutment assembly. In addition, the driver assembly includes a frangible section which permits the upper portion thereof to be separated from the lower portion and discarded while the lower portion remains mounted upon the abutment assembly.
