Dr. Pablo Urrutia Figueroa

Specialist in Periodontics and Implantology

LinkedIn

A career built on international training and clinical conviction. Since graduating among the top of his class, Pablo Urrutia has pursued a single idea: that high-complexity periodontal surgery should be taught in Chile with the same rigor as it is practiced in world-class reference centers. That obsession led him to train alongside Dr. Istvan Urban in Hungary, to serve as a visiting professor in Ibiza, and to bring Dr. Pier Gallo to Chile for the first time. Today he leads PerioPlastic, operates the most complex cases in his clinic, and trains the next generation of periodontal surgeons in Latin America.
