The present invention concerns a method for inserting a dental implant into the jawbone as a replacement for a tooth, said jawbone comprising cortical bone matter surrounding a core of spongy bone, wherein a hole is excavated in the cortical bone of the upper surface of the jawbone using an excavation tool, said hole penetrating mainly the cortical bone matter of the jawbone. The excavation tool is then removed and a threaded implant is placed in the excavated hole of the upper surface of the jawbone the threaded implant is forwarded into the spongy bone core of the jawbone without any prior drilling having been done into the spongy bone section of the jawbone and the implant is left in the spongy bone core of the jawbone for promoting integration of the implant with the surrounding bone (Osteointegration). The invention also concerns a dental implant suitable for being used in the method, said dental implant comprising an osseoimplant (Osseous part) part (1) forming a screw with threads (2) and a core (3), said osseoimplant part (Osseous part) (1) also including a head section (7) forming a securing part for an abutment (6) or representing the abutment (6).
