Your Trusted Dentist in 46226

Serving Devington, Arlington Woods & Northeast Indianapolis

Who Are We?

Serving Northeast Indianapolis

SmileCentric East is located at 115 N Shortridge Rd, Suite 200, in Indianapolis. From Devington, Arlington Woods, and the broader 46226 area, most patients are within 10 to 15 minutes of our front door via I-465. If you've been looking for a dentist who handles your entire family's care — from a child's first exam to a full implant restoration — without sending you across town for specialist referrals, that's exactly what we offer.

Meet Dr. Louis Abukhalaf

Born and raised in Jerusalem, Dr. Louis Abukhalaf came to the United States with a clear purpose: to pursue dentistry at the highest level. He earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry and biochemistry, summa cum laude, from Loyola University Chicago, followed by his DDS, magna cum laude, from Marquette University School of Dentistry. He then completed advanced postgraduate training at the Misch Implant Institute and the Kois Center — two of the most respected programs in implant and restorative dentistry in the country.

What truly sets Dr. Abukhalaf apart is his commitment to bringing world-class care to northeast Indianapolis. He trained in Brazil alongside internationally recognized surgeons in complex procedures, including zygomatic implants and full-mouth rehabilitation, and he became the first dentist in the Indianapolis area to introduce Yomi — the FDA-cleared robotic implant system that delivers a level of surgical precision traditional methods simply can't match. Outside the office, he's a husband, father of three, and a soccer fan who brings that same energy and warmth to every patient he sees.
