Dr. Buckingham believes exceptional dentistry starts with genuine relationships. After earning his Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Illinois at Springfield and his dental degree from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine, he completed advanced training in periodontal care before beginning his career in general dentistry.

Today, he is proud to serve patients throughout the Austin area, combining modern dental care with a compassionate, personalized approach. As an active member of the American Dental Association and Capital Area Dental Society, Dr. Buckingham is committed to continuing education and giving back to the community through volunteer outreach programs.

When he’s not caring for patients, you’ll likely find him cycling around Austin—or spending time with his dogs.
