Johnson Richard L DDS

Out past the Bethany city limits, a quiet stretch of NW 23rd St houses a practice that’s stayed in the neighborhood for decades. Johnson Richard L DDS sits at 7509 NW 23rd St, a straightforward address for routine cleanings and more complex work alike. General dentistry, cosmetic consultations, crowns and bridges, simple extractions, night guards, and pediatric exams fit into the same schedule—no back-and-forth to other clinics required.

Call once to lock in an appointment; the phone on record is (405) 787-7814. Same-day slots open up during cancellations, though same-day availability can’t be counted on when school lets out or flu season hits. Expect a short wait if you arrive early, but the front staff usually pages patients back within minutes of the posted time.

The building sits close to the intersection of NW 23rd and Portland Ave, a corner that’s seen more than one strip-mall facelift since the practice moved in. Traffic moves steadily after 7 a.m., so factor in an extra three or four minutes if you’re coming from the west side of town.

Grab the map before you leave; the directions page cuts through the back-road shortcuts locals prefer. A left turn off Portland will shave two minutes off the trip if the light cooperates.
