An improved cutting tool is provided for cutting openings in a patient's jaw so that a dental implant may be inserted therein. The cutting tool includes a tapered pick portion that has a generally flat surface and a radiused surface. The pick portion further includes a cutting blade that extends along at least a portion of the generally flat surface of the pick portion so that the cutting blade is generally opposite from the radiused surface. When the pick portion is inserted into the patient's jaw and rotated, the radiused surface engages a first section of the patient's bone to create at least one micro fracture in the bone while the cutting blade engages a second section of the bone and removes a portion of the bone in the second section.
