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 visits help us catch small issues like early signs of decay or gum disease before they become more serious or expensive to treat.

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.

Absolutely. We are happy to partner with major dental insurers to help you get the care you need at amazing prices.

We also provide a real-time online benefits check before your visit. We’ll show you the maximum cost for your dental visit, so you’ll never pay more than you expect.

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.

At Tend Dental Long Island City, we make paying for your dental care simple, transparent, and stress-free.

You can securely pay your bill online with easy, encrypted options like HSA/FSA cards, credit or debit cards, Apple Pay/Google Pay, and more. Through our partner Cedar, you can view your insurance details, track balances, receive reminders, and even set up a custom 0% interest payment plan that fits your budget.

We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit, a healthcare-focused credit option that lets approved patients spread out their dental costs in convenient monthly payments, including for care not fully covered by insurance.

Before any treatment, we’ll clearly explain your expected costs and payment choices so you feel confident moving forward

Your first visit is designed to be both thorough and inviting. Here’s what it features:

• A complete dental exam to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health
• Digital X-rays (radiographs) for a detailed look below the surface (with significantly lower radiation than traditional X-rays)
• Professional teeth cleaning that is gentle and designed to meet your oral health 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 in our studio is designed to be calm and have a spa-like atmosphere, allowing you to relax and truly enjoy taking care of your smile.
