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.

ZAGA Centers represents a revolutionary approach to dental implantology, and Dr. Paz's certification in this methodology places him at the forefront of advanced dental rehabilitation techniques.

The ZAGA Philosophy: Patient-Centered Treatment

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
