Andrew R Chapokas DMD, MSD

Specialized periodontal care meets downtown convenience. Andrew R Chapokas DMD, MSD offers dental implant and gum health services in a central San Diego location. This practice focuses on the kind of precise, technical work that often gets overshadowed by general dentistry—think gum disease treatment, bone grafting, and the kind of implant placements that require both surgical skill and long-term planning. The address at 3730 Third Ave puts it within easy reach of Hillcrest’s medical corridor, where dental specialists cluster around the hospital district.

Periodontists handle the less visible but critical foundation of oral health. While many dentists refer out for advanced gum procedures or complex implant cases, this office works directly with those needing periodontal surgery, sinus lifts, or crown lengthening. The area’s mix of historic buildings and modern clinics reflects the blend of established expertise and current techniques you’d expect from a practice in this part of the city. Third Avenue’s stretch here is more about function than flash—medical offices, parking structures, and the occasional café for pre- or post-appointment coffee.

Logistics are simple: questions about procedures or scheduling go to (619) 232-7433, and the map confirms its spot between Washington Street and the I-5 on-ramp. It’s the kind of place you’d only know about through a referral—or by noticing the unassuming signage while stuck in traffic near Balboa Park.
