In-network provider. Bring your member ID — we verify your benefits and file the claim for you.
Your Oklahoma plan is in-network here
Riverpark Dental of Howell is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma. Members who live or work in the Howell area — whether the plan came from an Oklahoma employer or a spouse's coverage — can use their in-network benefits with us.
That means contracted fees, which are usually lower than standard fees, and claims filed by our office. When something hurts, the last thing you need is a reimbursement form.
When something breaks or hurts
Call (732) 751-4028 as soon as you can. Time is set aside every day for emergencies, and on Sundays from 9 to 3 we welcome walk-ins for urgent problems. Bring your member ID, or just your name and the policyholder's date of birth if the card is at home.
We start by finding the cause — usually with a digital X-ray, which uses up to 80% less radiation than traditional film — and relieving the pain. Then we explain your options and what your plan is expected to cover before anything further is done.
- Toothaches, swelling and infections — sometimes leading to a root canal
- Cracked or broken teeth, protected with a temporary and then a permanent crown
- Lost fillings or crowns, and teeth that can't be saved and need removal
Why choose our Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma Dentist Howell office for urgent care
Emergency visits go better with a dentist who can finish the job. Dr. Abraham Y Husney (Rutgers) and Dr. Justin Nus (NYU, General Practice Residency at Coney Island Hospital) handle extractions and root canals in-house. When a broken tooth needs a crown, a temporary usually protects it until the permanent crown is placed at a second visit.
We're rated 5.0 stars from 537+ Google reviews, with sedation options available if you're anxious. Read more about our emergency dentistry.
Paying for unexpected treatment
On most PPO plans, an emergency exam and X-ray are covered as diagnostic care, while crowns and root canals fall into categories with a higher patient share. Exact amounts depend on your plan, and we'll put your estimate in writing. In-house and third-party financing can cover the balance if the timing is bad.
