Top-rated dentists and hygienists
Our dentists aren’t paid a commission on procedures
Most dentists are paid a commission on procedures. This can lead to more procedures than you need. We eliminate this by paying our dentists a great salary with a bonus that rewards them for patient satisfaction.
We only hire 5% of clinical candidates
When we hire dentists and hygienists, we aren’t looking for good, or great. We’re looking for amazing.
Our care is science-based
Our proprietary training program, TendU, keeps our clinical team up to date on all the latest research. It also facilitates collaboration, so you get the benefit of many top minds working together.
Insurance accepted
We accept most dental insurance plans, and we bill for services through insurance, just like a typical dentist’s office.
The Tend Guarantee
We guarantee you’ll be satisfied with your experience. Full stop. If for any reason you’re not happy, let us know within six months and we’ll give you a full refund. No questions asked.

How experienced are your Grand Central Studio dentists?
Our Grand Central Studio dentists are graduates of respected dental schools, and have all trained in highly-rated residency programs. All of our dentists take continuing education courses in order to stay current with all of the latest techniques and research. They’re led by our Clinical Director, Dr. Marc Schlenoff, a former Program Director at the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in Manhattan.
How will I know which dentist or hygienist I’ll be seeing?
Before your visit, we’ll give you a call to say hi and answer any questions you may have. We’ll also tell you a bit about the dentist you’re going to see. If there’s someone in particular you’re hoping to be seen by, feel free to call us at (212) 406-3686.
What if I want to reschedule with a different dentist or hygienist than the one I've been paired with?
Totally fine! Just give us a call at (212) 686-3686.
How do I reschedule or cancel my appointment?
Call us at (888) 818-3686. Just make sure to do so more than 24 hours before your appointment time. If you cancel or reschedule less than 24 hours in advance, we’ll have to charge you a $50 fee. If you don’t make it at all, we’ll have to charge you a $75 fee. This is because we reserved that time specifically for you, and our appointments are in high demand.
What services do you offer?
Our NYC Manhattan dental offices offer a full range of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental services. For preventative and restorative dental care, we offer routine checkups, implants, and everything in between. For cosmetic care, we’ll help you redesign your smile with orthodontics, whitening, and veneers. Read more about our services.
Do you do pediatric dentistry?
We currently do not see children under 13, but we are more than happy to recommend pediatric dentists in Manhattan. Just give us a call at (212) 686-3686.
Do appointments really start on time?
They really do. And the reason’s pretty simple: we book fewer visits per day than most Manhattan dental offices. This allows us to commit to schedules that enable our dentists and hygienists to spend as much time with you as is needed, with a comfortable cushion before and afterward. And it’s also safer: by staggering visit times, we ensure that no one needs to wait in common spaces, and we limit patient overlap in hallways.
