Yes, we are currently welcoming new patients at Tend Dental Ponce City Market! Whether it has been six months or six years since your last dental visit, our team is here to make you feel comfortable. We take great pride in creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where every patient feels valued, treated with kindness, empathy, and respect.

Your first visit will include a comprehensive exam, a detailed review of your oral health, and 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.

At Tend Dental Ponce City Market, we aim to make paying for your dental care as simple and stress-free as possible.

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 comprehensive and warm, so you feel comfortable and cared for from the very start. We take the time to understand your needs, practicing with curiosity and treating with care, so your experience feels thoughtful and personalized. Here’s what it includes:

• 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.

We have designed our Tend Dental Ponce City Market studio to feel calm and soothing, so you can relax and truly enjoy caring for your smile.

We recommend coming in for a cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard for most patients. These regular visits help us catch small issues, such as 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 develop a personalized care plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you receive the appropriate level of care at the right time. Even if everything appears to be okay, regular 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.

Call our team at (470) 201-5582 if you need to cancel your appointment. We understand that sometimes unexpected things happen. Please make sure to notify us 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.
