About ZAGA Centers

In ZAGA Centers, we are experts in zygomatic implant rehabilitation. 

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.

The ZAGA Method was created by Dr. Carlos Aparicio and has been scientifically proven to be highly personalized to each patient’s case, drastically improving the results of treatment compared to traditional techniques.

The Certified ZAGA Centers are able to predictability help patients suffering from a severe lack of bone, known as maxillary atrophy, with fixed upper teeth in 24h or less. This treatment option is life-changing.

ZAGA Centers fosters a community centered on continuous improvement and excellence. To support this, we have developed advanced training courses in zygomatic implantology with the most experienced lecturers. We also collaborate with key partners to design quality instruments, materials, and implants.
