The Non-Crestal™ Implant System was developed to address anatomical limitations inherent in conventional vertically placed implant systems for removable prosthetics.

By permitting multi-axial implant trajectories, this system increases available bone engagement zones without relying on occlusal and masticatory load transfer.

The Dentsure-Lok® mechanism provides prosthetic retention independent of primary load-bearing conversion, preserving tissue-supported masticatory function.

This architecture expands surgical flexibility while maintaining the biomechanical principles of removable prosthetic therapy.

Dr. Michael Wassef received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 1990.

He has more than three decades of clinical experience in restorative dentistry, including over twenty years focused on implant therapy and removable prosthetics.

Through years of treating removable implant cases, he repeatedly encountered the structural limitations of vertically oriented implants — including restricted trajectory options, limited usable bone, and the requirement that the implant function as a primary vertical load-bearing column.

Rather than continuing to compensate for these constraints with grafting, angulation compromise, or prosthetic adaptation, he developed a retentive implant architecture that permits multi-axial placement and provides prosthetic stability without implant structural load conversion.

— he developed the Dentsure-Lok® Non-Crestal™ Implant System.
