Preserving your natural tooth structure: the conservative difference

Many veneer clinics reduce healthy enamel to pegs so that thick restorations can be fitted quickly. That approach is fast, irreversible and biologically expensive: the more enamel you lose, the higher the long-term risk of sensitivity, root canal treatment and fracture.

Dr. Cristhian Figueroa graduated Cum Laude from Universidad Santo Tomás and works under biomimetic protocols: micro-thin IPS e.max porcelain, adhesive bonding under rubber-dam isolation, magnification, and zero unnecessary biological sacrifice. Where a crown would be the conventional answer, an adhesive inlay, onlay or veneer is usually the conservative one.

Read more about the philosophy on the biomimetic rehabilitation page (in Spanish), or see the dedicated page on porcelain veneers in Colombia, including treatment times and USD reference pricing.

Your patient journey, step by step

  1. Step 1 — Virtual photographic assessment (before you travel)

    Send guided photos of your smile and any recent X-rays through WhatsApp. Dr. Figueroa reviews clinical feasibility, conservative alternatives and an estimated timeline before you book a flight.

  2. Step 2 — Arrival and digital planning (day 1)

    In-person consultation at Edificio SOMES, Sotomayor. Clinical photography, shade mapping, bite analysis and an aesthetic mock-up you can see and approve before anything is prepared.

  3. Step 3 — Minimally invasive preparation and laboratory work (days 2–4)

    Preparation under magnification, following biomimetic protocols: enamel is preserved whenever possible. Master ceramists hand-layer your IPS e.max restorations.

  4. Step 4 — Adhesive bonding and final review (days 5–6)

    Rubber-dam isolation, adhesive cementation, occlusal equilibration, final photographs and a protective night guard when indicated.

  • Boutique and international hotels in Cabecera del Llano, five minutes from the practice.
  • Treatment at Edificio SOMES, Sotomayor: a quiet residential-professional district, not a tourist clinic corridor.
