Joseph M. Harvey, DDS, PA

Oral surgeons handle the procedures general dentists can’t—extractions, implants, corrective jaw work. Joseph M. Harvey, DDS, PA offers that level of care on the south edge of Ottawa’s downtown grid. The office sits in a low-slung brick building at 343 W 23rd St #3, where the sidewalks still feel like neighborhood pavement rather than arterial concrete.

Patients here typically arrive with referrals for wisdom teeth removal, bone grafts, or dental implants; some need biopsies or treatment for oral pathology. The practice also handles emergency cases—facial trauma, infections, or sudden swelling that can’t wait. A single Google review currently gives them a 5.0 rating, a small but clean signal of what to expect.

Directions to the office are straightforward: turn south off Main Street onto 23rd, pass the courthouse, and look for the brick storefront with the blue awning. The map keeps the exact spot pinned for anyone unfamiliar with the side streets.

When the time comes to schedule, reach them at (785) 242-4307. No frills, just the number—because in a town this size, word of mouth still carries more weight than any ad.
