Dr. Cristhian Figueroa
About
Dr. Cristhian Figueroa is a dentist in Bucaramanga; his work combines cosmetic dentistry with biomimetic dentistry and oral rehabilitation. He graduated Cum Laude from Universidad Santo Tomás, received the Sol de Aquino award in 2023, and has run his own private practice since 2024. Most of his patients come looking for porcelain veneers or ceramic lenses, 3D-printed resin veneers, edge bonding, or teeth whitening; others need a broader rehabilitation with adhesive restorations and fixed, removable, or complete prostheses. His belief is that every smile is unique and personal: shape, color, and proportion are defined by each person's face and bite, and healthy enamel is preserved whenever the case allows it. Before starting, he explains the diagnosis and the alternatives in clear language, so the patient can decide with full information.
Treatments and Procedures
Featured Services
Cosmetic dentistry and oral rehabilitation planned case by case, with materials designed to last and the least possible reduction of healthy tooth structure.
Porcelain Veneers and Ceramic Lenses
A new smile planned from the patient's face, lips, and bite, not from a mold. Ceramic lenses and ceramic veneers correct color, shape, and proportion with minimal or no tooth reduction. The design is tested in the mouth before cementation, so the patient approves the result in advance.
Edge Bonding and Printed Resin Veneers
For those seeking a subtle change, edge bonding works on the aesthetic edges of the front teeth: it corrects wear, small chips, and uneven edges without touching the rest of the tooth. Printed resin veneers are a faster, more affordable alternative when the case does not require ceramic.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional in-office or supervised whitening to lighten the natural shade of the teeth. It is often done before veneers or edge bonding so that new restorations match the final color, and it is monitored to limit sensitivity.
Oral Rehabilitation and Prostheses
Restoring chewing, bite, and appearance when teeth are damaged or missing. Options include adhesive rehabilitation that preserves the remaining tooth, fixed prostheses, removable prostheses, and high-suction complete dentures for patients with no teeth. The right option is defined after a full diagnosis.

Why Patients Choose Dr. Cristhian Figueroa
A Tailored Plan, Clear Explanations, Careful Work
The practice follows three principles: design every smile for the person who will wear it, explain the diagnosis before proposing a treatment, and work with a protocol that protects the natural tooth.
WhatsApp
No standard molds
A Smile Designed for Your Face
The shape, length, and shade of the teeth are chosen according to the patient's facial features, lip line, and bite. The goal is a result that looks natural up close and works well when chewing, not a generic row of white teeth.
Informed decisions
Diagnosis Explained First
Every treatment begins with a detailed evaluation. The patient learns what was found, which alternatives exist, and what each one involves before deciding. Fees are quoted case by case after that visit; that is why there is no published price list.
Isolation, magnification, and photos
Conservative, Precise Protocol
Work is done with rubber-dam isolation, magnification, bite control, and photographic records at every stage. Tooth reduction is limited to what the case requires, to preserve as much natural enamel as possible under the new smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where the office is, which porcelain veneer options are available, how pricing works, and what to expect if you travel to Bucaramanga.
Where does Dr. Cristhian Figueroa see patients in Bucaramanga?
At Edificio SOMES, Carrera 29 #47-108, office 18, Sotomayor neighborhood, Santander. It is a few minutes from Cabecera del Llano and downtown Bucaramanga.
What is the difference between ceramic lenses, ceramic veneers, and printed resin veneers?
Ceramic lenses and ceramic veneers are the most durable option: they do not stain easily and keep their shine for many years; lenses are even thinner and usually require less tooth reduction. Printed resin veneers are faster and more affordable, but they need more maintenance over time. The choice depends on the case, the budget, and how long the result needs to last.
What is edge bonding?
It is a conservative treatment that reshapes the edges of the front teeth with resin to correct small chips, wear, or uneven lengths. It suits patients who want to improve their smile subtly without going as far as a full set of porcelain veneers.
Does he treat patients traveling from another city or from abroad?
Yes. Appointments can be held in Spanish or English, including for those coming for dental tourism. The most direct way to start is WhatsApp at +57 302 754 7827. The treatment plan and fee are provided after the clinical diagnosis.
Why isn't there a published price list?
Each case is quoted after the exam, X-rays, and bite analysis. A fixed rate set in advance would skip that step, so the office does not publish a list.
Mission
Care Philosophy
I believe every smile tells a different story, which is why there are no predesigned formulas in my practice: there is a person, a face, and a unique way of smiling that deserves to be heard before being transformed. I always start from honesty, so that every patient knows what is possible, what is not, and why. I work with respect for the enamel, intervening only where necessary and preserving everything nature has already built. Because for me, true beauty is not noticed through excess but through harmony: I seek smiles that look like one's own, that are in dialogue with the face, and that remain beautiful for many years to come.
