Southport Oral & Maxillofacial

Oral surgery often gets grouped under general dentistry, but Southport Oral & Maxillofacial specializes in the more complex cases—think wisdom teeth extractions, jaw realignment, or reconstructive work after trauma. These aren’t the routine cleanings or fillings you’d find at a standard dental office. Procedures here can involve anesthesia, bone grafting, or correcting congenital conditions like cleft palates. The practice sits at 8445 S Emerson Ave #100, a stretch of Indianapolis where medical offices cluster near residential pockets.

Around this part of the city, Emerson Avenue cuts through a mix of mid-century commercial strips and quieter neighborhoods dotted with ranch-style homes. The area doesn’t have the walkable density of downtown, but it’s a straightforward drive from most of southern Indy. Oral surgeons in this specialty handle everything from impacted teeth to facial pain disorders, often working alongside orthodontists or oncologists. If you’re mapping out pre-op consultations or follow-ups, the office’s location makes it accessible from I-65 without fighting the congestion closer to the city center.

For questions about procedures or to schedule, the number to call is (317) 882-1284. First-time patients might want to check the map beforehand, as the entrance sits back slightly from the main road. You can pull up directions here—just watch for the suite number when you arrive. This isn’t the kind of place you stumble into by accident.
