We love answering your questions! Scroll through our FAQ section to find everything you're wondering about before your visit to Tend Dental Long Island City.
Yes, we’re accepting new patients at Tend Dental Long Island City! Whether it’s been six months or six years since you last visited the dentist, 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.
During your first visit, you will undergo a comprehensive exam, receive a detailed review of your oral health, and have time to talk through any concerns or goals you have. We’ll make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported from the moment you walk in.
Our dental professionals recommend coming in for a cleaning and checkup every six months. This is the standard timeframe for most patients. These regular visits help us monitor your oral health and see a complete picture of your dental health over time.
In some cases, patients may need to visit the dentist more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances such as clear 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 if everything looks great, cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't remove, and they’re key to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.
We accept most major dental insurance plans and will help you make sense of how your coverage fits into your care.
The insurers we partner with include Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Guardian, MetLife, United Concordia, Principal, Oxford Health Plans, and Ameritas.
