Yes, we are accepting new patients at Tend Dental East Nashville! Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last dental appointment, our team is here to make you feel at ease. We pride ourselves on creating a judgment-free environment where every patient is treated with empathy and respect.

Your first appointment with the dentist will include a comprehensive exam, a detailed review of your oral health, and time to talk through any concerns or goals you have. Our caring team will make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported from the moment you walk in.

Yes, our dental team is happy to work with elementary-aged children, offering gentle, age-appropriate care to encourage healthy habits and make them feel comfortable at the dentist.

To book an appointment for a child at Tend Dental East Nashville, please call us directly at (615) 490-9063 instead of using online booking. This allows us to ensure we schedule the appropriate type of visit with the right provider. We will support you throughout the process and address any questions you may have.

We aim to make your first appointment at our studio a welcoming and informative experience. Here is what you can expect during your visit:

• A complete dental exam to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health
• Digital X-rays for a detailed look below the surface (with significantly lower radiation than traditional X-rays)
• A gentle, professional cleaning tailored to your needs
• A one-on-one conversation with your dentist, who will walk you through any findings, answer your questions, and create a treatment plan if needed

We’ll also review your dental history, talk about your goals (whether it’s improving your oral health or brightening your smile), and give you time to ask questions without feeling rushed.

The environment is designed to feel calm and spa-like, so you can relax and genuinely enjoy caring for your smile.

We recommend visiting us for a cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard for most patients. These regular appointments help us catch small issues like early signs of decay or gum disease before they become more serious or expensive to treat.

However, some patients may need to come in more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances like aligners, or are more prone to plaque buildup. Your dentist will work with you to create a personalized care plan based on your needs, so you’re always getting the right level of care at the right time.

Even when everything seems great, regular cleanings are helpful for gently removing plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing might miss. They play a big role in helping your smile stay fresh, healthy, and looking its absolute best.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please call us at (615) 490-9063 . We kindly request that you do so more than 48 hours before your appointment time. We reserve that time specifically for you, and our appointments are in high demand, so we appreciate as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule.

You can also log into your profile on the Tend Dental app to make any changes needed, including cancelling and rescheduling.
