Digital Smile Design in Dr. Cristhian Figueroa — Aesthetic & Oral Rehabilitation Dentistry
About the clinic
Digital Smile Design is a digital planning methodology that creates a virtual 3D simulation of a patient’s ideal smile. This diagnostic examination is available at Dr. Cristhian Figueroa — Aesthetic & Oral Rehabilitation Dentistry in Bucaramanga, Colombia. The process allows for precise aesthetic planning and visualization before any dental work begins.
Dr. Cristhian Figueroa personally performs the design and planning for each patient. He is an aesthetic dentist and a Cum Laude graduate from Universidad Santo Tomás. With over 10 years of clinical practice, he specializes in biomimetic rehabilitation and oral rehabilitation. The clinic holds accreditation from the Colombian National Registry (ReTHUS) for dental surgeons.
Diagnostic process and technology
The examination uses clinical photography and intraoral scanning to build a digital map of the mouth. Specialized CAD/CAM software analyzes facial proportions and tooth alignment. The diagnostic steps include:
- Documentation. Collection of high-resolution facial photographs and videos of the natural smile.
- Intraoral 3D scan. Capturing precise digital impressions of the teeth and gums.
- Digital analysis. Virtual design of each tooth to simulate different smile options.
- In-mouth mock-up. A temporary resin trial placed on the teeth to verify the design in real life.
- Patient approval. The patient views and approves the expected aesthetic result before any physical preparation.
Settings and results
Digital Smile Design is an outpatient procedure performed during a clinic visit. International patients can receive a preliminary clinical opinion within 48 hours after submitting their initial records. The simulation serves as a blueprint, ensuring the final aesthetic results match the patient's expectations. This method provides a clear visual guide for any future aesthetic procedures.

Dr. Cristhian Figueroa — Aesthetic & Oral Rehabilitation Dentistry: more details about the clinic
Dr. Cristhian Figueroa is a private dental practice in Bucaramanga, Colombia. It operates as a boutique specialty center in the Sotomayor district. Dr. Cristhian Figueroa leads the practice with a biomimetic philosophy – preserving natural tooth structure. The team of two doctors provides one-on-one care rather than high-volume tourist dentistry.
Academic Background and Quality Standards
Dr. Cristhian Figueroa graduated with Cum Laude honors from Santo Tomás University. The team has over 10 years of clinical experience in oral rehabilitation. The practice holds active licensure in Colombia's National Registry (ReTHUS) for dental surgeons. Every restoration follows strict adhesive protocols for long-term durability.
Aesthetic Dentistry and Smile Design
The clinic specializes in IPS e.max lithium disilicate porcelain veneers. These ultra-thin shells bond to the tooth surface to improve color and shape. A digital workflow guides each case for predictable results:
- Clinical photography and digital smile design (DSD)
- Intraoral scanning for digital records
- In-mouth mock-ups to preview the final look
- CAD/CAM-assisted laboratory production
International patients benefit from 5 to 7-day turnaround protocols. This means travelers can complete their smile transformation in a single week. During bonding, the team uses absolute isolation with a blue rubber dam. This keeps the treatment field completely dry to prevent contamination.
Oral Rehabilitation and Periodontal Care
Complete oral rehabilitation addresses severe wear, tooth loss, and bite issues. The clinic offers biomimetic adhesive restorations as conservative alternatives to full crowns. These include ceramic inlays and onlays that strengthen remaining tooth structure. The surgical department handles wisdom tooth extractions and bone regularization. For missing teeth, the team performs guided implant placement using 3D digital planning.
Periodontal care focuses on stopping gum disease and bone loss. Specialists treat conditions from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Diagnostics include 6-point periodontal probing and inflammation testing. Treatments include:
- Professional scaling and root planing
- Mixed whitening (in-office gel plus home kits)
- Clear aligner therapy for tooth alignment
- High-suction total prosthetics
Regular periodontal maintenance interrupts bacterial growth to prevent inflammation. These cleanings help patients avoid complex gum surgeries later.
Dental Technology and Equipment
The practice uses digital diagnostic tools to increase surgical precision. Surgeons use tomography and panoramic radiography to assess bone volume before implants. Magnification during restorative stages improves detail and fit. The clinic uses intraoral digital scanning instead of traditional physical molds. This creates a 3D map of the teeth for more comfortable planning.
Services for International Patients
A dedicated International Patient Concierge coordinates care for overseas visitors. Patients can receive a virtual assessment within 48 hours via WhatsApp. This involves a digital form and guided photo analysis. The clinic offers consultations and treatment plans in English and Spanish. Each patient receives a full digital record – including material shades and plans for their home dentist.
