The supra-osseous dental implant has a laminar elongated plate with a central, substantially rigid part extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongated plate. An upright extending shank is fixed to the central part. A dental prosthetic can be fixed to the shank. The plate also has two lateral anchoring parts extending by two thin arms from each side of the central part. The arms are malleable and flexible relative to the central part such that the plate can bridge over a jawbone in a transverse direction to the bone crest. The anchoring parts are a vestibular anchoring part and a lingual or palate anchoring part. The anchoring parts have holes and recesses for positioning at least two anchoring screws in the lingual or palate side of the jaw bone and at least four anchoring screws in the vestibular side.
