Surgery in Dr. Cristhian Figueroa — Aesthetic & Oral Rehabilitation Dentistry
About the clinic
Oral surgery at the clinic of Dr. Cristhian Figueroa in Bucaramanga, Colombia, provides specialized solutions for dental implants and complex extractions. The facility is known for using digital 3D planning and surgical guides to make procedures precise and minimally invasive. While specific prices depend on the surgical plan, every patient receives a written cost breakdown after their initial diagnosis to prevent hidden fees.
Expertise in Oral Rehabilitation
Dr. Cristhian Figueroa leads the clinic as a Periodontist and Implantologist. He graduated Cum Laude from Universidad Santo Tomás and is an active member of the Colegio Odontológico de Colombia. Dr. Cristhian Figueroa has over 10 years of experience in aesthetic dentistry and oral surgery. He follows a biomimetic philosophy, which focuses on saving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. When surgery is necessary, he uses magnification tools to help with accuracy and tissue preservation.
Advanced Surgical Procedures
The clinic handles a wide range of surgical needs beyond standard extractions. Patients can receive care for impacted wisdom teeth and fractured roots. Dr. Cristhian Figueroa also performs pre-prosthetic surgeries like bone regularization to prepare the jaw for dentures. For those needing dental implants, the clinic offers several advanced options:
- Implant placement using 3D surgical guides for better accuracy.
- Bone grafting to rebuild jaw volume for stable results.
- Sinus lift surgery to allow for upper jaw implants.
- Frenectomy to correct issues with the labial or lingual frenum.
Technology and Recovery
Modern tools help make the surgical process smoother for every patient. The clinic uses digital 3D tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanning to map the mouth before any cuts are made. These scans work with CAD/CAM technology to create custom guides for the surgeon. Most procedures only require local anesthesia. After surgery, patients typically see swelling peak within 48 to 72 hours. Most people return to their normal daily routine within 24 to 48 hours. If you receive implants, the healing period for the bone to fuse lasts about 3 to 6 months.
Care for International Patients
The clinic offers a concierge service to help visitors from other countries. This includes VIP pickup from the airport and support in both English and Spanish. For those on a tight schedule, the clinic uses protocols that allow for a 5 to 7 day turnaround. You can leave a request on Bookimed to start your digital diagnosis and plan your visit to Bucaramanga.

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.
