Yes, our team is happy to be accepting new patients at Tend Dental East Village! No matter how long it's been 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 visit will include a comprehensive exam, an in-depth review of your oral health, and an opportunity to discuss any concerns or goals. We aim to help you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported from the moment you walk in.

Your initial visit with our team is designed to be both thorough and welcoming. Here’s what it includes:

• A complete dental exam to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health
• Digital X-rays provide a detailed view below the surface with significantly lower radiation than traditional X-rays.
• A gentle, professional cleaning tailored to your needs
• A one-on-one appointment with your dentist, who will review any findings, answer your questions, and develop a treatment plan if necessary.

We’ll take a moment to go over your dental history, chat about your goals, whether you're looking to boost your oral health or brighten your smile, and there's plenty of time for you to ask any questions you might have, all at a comfortable pace.

Our studio is designed to feel calm and soothing, allowing you to relax and truly enjoy taking care of your smile.

We recommend visiting for a cleaning and checkup every six months. These regular visits help us detect minor issues early and provide earlier, less invasive care whenever possible.

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 if everything seems perfectly fine, regular cleanings are ideal for removing plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing might miss. They play a large role in helping your smile stay fresh, healthy, and bright.

Please call us at (212) 256-9219 . We ask that you do so more than 48 hours before your scheduled appointment time. We reserve that time specifically for you, and our appointments are in high demand. 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.
