Our Vision: Transforming Lives with Zygomatic Implants

At ZAGA Centers, our vision is simple: to transform the lives of our patients through the power of zygomatic implantology. We believe that every person deserves to have a healthy, beautiful smile that they can be proud of. On top of that, we are committed to making that possible for each patient. We strive to be at the forefront of the latest research and advancements in zygomatic implants. Our goal is to provide our patients with the most effective and innovative treatments available.

The ZAGA Concept

ZAGA is an acronym that stands for Zygoma Anatomy-Guided Approach. This means that, instead of basing treatment on an established surgical technique, the patient’s anatomy is used to help guide it. Therefore, instead of forcing the patient’s anatomy to adapt to our tools and processes, we adapt our tools and processes to the patient’s anatomy.
