General Dentist

Dr. Brad Bailey

Practices at: Upper East Side

Dr. Brad Bailey

Dr. Brad Bailey brings empathy, clinical expertise, and a personal understanding of dental anxiety to help patients feel comfortable and confident in their care.

Dr. Bailey earned his DDS from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 2022 and completed his general practice residency at Bellevue Hospital in 2024. He is Invisalign certified and a member of the American Dental Association and American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. His clinical interests include preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry, as well as clear aligners, implants, and oral surgery.

Dr. Bailey's passion for dentistry began after experiencing dental trauma as a child, when the care he received inspired him to help others in the same way. At Tend Upper East Side, he draws on that experience to build trust, listen carefully to patients' concerns, and make dental visits feel less intimidating. Outside of work, he enjoys fitness classes, traveling, and exploring different cultures. He's also a left-handed twin, which makes for a fun conversation starter!
