A dental implant surgical guide device and method for guiding a surgical bur to a center location adjacent to at least one tooth during placement of an implant are presented. The dental implant surgical guide device may include a triangular body portion that may be inserted in a gap between two teeth, and a channel portion formed through the center of the body portion to allow the surgical bur to pass through the channel portion without contacting the body portion. Accordingly, a drill hole, and thus the implant, may be placed at the optimal, center location between the two teeth adjacent to the gap, and a distance between the two teeth may be accurately determined.
