What is the best way to release space in Oracle 11g tablespace?

Hi DBA Gurus,

We have a tablespace CISTS_01 for Application tables and a separate tablespace CISIDX_01 for indexes. Both are falling short of space. Is rebuilding indexes a recommended way to release unused space? Is there any other process we can use other than dropping and recreating tables (using expdp/impdp tool)? This is a production environment so dropping tables will not be approved. We are using Oracle EE 11.2.0.3 non-RAC database.

Any suggestion is deeply appreciated.

Thanks,

Debo
