A dental restoration system is disclosed. The system includes an implant having a tip and an opposite cylindrical socket. The socket has an interior surface having a sloped rim surface and a groove with a vertical and horizontal channel. The system includes a dental component such as an abutment having a stem and an opposite post. The post includes a collar having a radial tab. The collar is attached to a conical interface surface. The tab slides in the vertical channel when the abutment is attached to the implant. The tab fits in the horizontal channel of the groove to lock the abutment in place when the abutment is rotated. The conical interface contacts the sloped rim surface of the cylindrical socket to create a seal when the tab is fit into the horizontal channel.
