The first ZAGA Centre in Greece
With the ZAGA platform, ZAGA Centers are places where regional or local patients with severe maxillary atrophy can receive treatment when they are referred by a ZAGA Partner. This makes them the quintessential experts in the treatment of maxillary atrophy or bone loss. ZAGA Centers are in constant contact with affiliated general practitioners (ZAGA Partners) through the ZAGA platform, and therefore both will always have the information they need to provide individualized treatment.
We are proud to anounce tha we are now certified as an international ZAGA ZYGOMA CENTER of excellence, the only one in Greece, and one of 22 in the world!
Our treatment philosophy is bases on the anatomy guided/extramaxillary approach to placing ZYGOMA implants in severely resorbed maxillary bone. In addition to maximizing success, the ZAGA philosophy seeks to prevent complications instead of treating them, as well as objectives through a standardized process, the ZAGA philosophy develops and uses individual, contrasted and systemized action protocols. For referring doctors, online treatment planning and anatomic modeling will be available. We are now the regional referral center for those patients with complex and challenging maxillary reconstruction!

IN WHICH CASES ZYGOMATIC DENTAL IMPLANTS ARE USED?
By anchoring dental prosthesis to zygomatic implants, the ZAGA philosophy aims to achieve long-term success in treating severe maxillary atrophy. In addition to maximizing success, the ZAGA philosophy seeks to prevent complications instead of treating them. To obtain these objectives through a standardized process, the ZAGA philosophy develops and uses individual, contrasted and systemized action protocols.
