Periodontist Joseph A Buckley holds California dental license and NPI 1578773644 and practices from 8440 Lemon Avenue in La Mesa's Mt Helix area. The periodontics-focused scope covers subgingival scaling and root planing, osseous surgery, and implant-site preparation — surgical disciplines that generate downstream prosthetic cases for implant providers like San Diego Denture & Implant Specialists. Buckley's Lemon Avenue office sits within the 91941 ZIP code, serving patients from the Mt Helix Park and Harry Griffen Park residential corridors who require specialist-level gum-disease intervention beyond what general dentistry addresses. Post-operative prescription protocols following flap surgery and bone-graft procedures are managed through La Mesa Village dispensaries such as Village Rose Pharmacy. The practice's highest-complexity procedures include guided tissue regeneration with resorbable barrier membranes and autogenous connective-tissue grafts for root-coverage correction on teeth with Miller Class III recession.
