Dr. Justin Nus Dentist Howell

A dentist who studied people before teeth

Psychology is an unusual first degree for a dentist, and a useful one. Dental visits are as much about trust and nerves as they are about teeth, and an understanding of how people think and feel helps when a patient is anxious, embarrassed about putting off care, or simply wants a straight explanation.

At Riverpark Dental that fits the way every visit is run: you see the X-rays and photos, you hear your options in plain language, and nothing begins until you agree to a written plan.

Care in English and Russian

Dr. Nus grew up in Brooklyn and is fluent in both English and Russian. For Russian-speaking patients and their families, that means discussing symptoms, treatment options and costs in the language they are most comfortable with.

He is also working to improve his Spanish so he can serve an even more diverse group of patients here in Monmouth County.

What you can see Dr. Nus for

As a general dentist, Dr. Nus provides the care most patients need over a lifetime, using the technology in our Howell office: digital X-rays with up to 80% less radiation than traditional film, intraoral cameras, 3D scans and gentle laser therapy. Common reasons patients see our general dentists include:

• Checkups, cleanings and oral cancer screenings — preventive care
• Tooth-colored fillings, crowns and other restorative treatment
• Urgent problems such as toothaches and broken teeth — emergency dentistry
• Care for children, teens and adults in the same family

Outside the office

Dr. Nus is an avid fan of ice hockey and enjoys cycling and swimming, and he travels whenever he can to explore new places and cultures. Above all, he values time with the people closest to him. Meet his colleague, Dr. Abraham Y Husney, on our meet the dentists page.
