What is ZAGA Certification?

ZAGA is an acronym that stands for "Zygoma Anatomy-Guided Approach." This innovative concept represents a paradigm shift in zygomatic implantology, where treatment is based on the patient's unique anatomy rather than forcing anatomical adaptation to predetermined surgical techniques.

Being part of ZAGA Centers Network guarantees at Prime Dental Clinic Cancun to stick to the highest standards of quality and patient protection.

The ZAGA Philosophy: Patient-Centered Treatment

Dr Javier Paz Zaga Specialist Implants

The ZAGA approach fundamentally changes how zygomatic implants are planned and executed:


Anatomy-First Approach

Instead of using standardized techniques, ZAGA adapts tools and processes to each patient's unique anatomical structure


Precision Planning

Advanced digital planning ensures optimal implant placement based on individual bone structure


Minimally Invasive

The anatomy-guided approach often results in less invasive procedures and faster recovery times


Predictable Outcomes

By working with natural anatomy, ZAGA techniques deliver more predictable and successful results


Why ZAGA Certification Matters for Patients

Advanced Training and Expertise

ZAGA certification requires extensive training and ongoing education. Surgeons must demonstrate mastery of:

  • Complex anatomical assessment techniques
  • Advanced digital planning software
  • Innovative surgical protocols
  • Post-operative care optimization
