Can’t say enough positive things. Appointments were readily available to see me for an emergency visit, checkin was seamless and the host was super nice. In the treatment room the team showed excellent care and compassion and stayed a little longer to help me knowing my schedule was tight and I was leaving NY for two weeks. Can’t imagine this is regular service but super appreciated. Love the service and access to the care, the team were professional and super kind, and the facility (I’ve visited several locations) is/are super impressive. Not the old school dentist. This is the evolution of care. Great job Tend!

Everything from making an appointment for an emergency visit and having them expedite the process to have me seen and treatment complete quickly was great. Dr. Cook and his team paid attention to detail. Will definitely be back!

I took my mother to this medical practice today, which was a refreshing change from our previous experiences. My mother, who doesn't speak English, often found it challenging to communicate at other clinics. However, this practice stood out by offering interpreter services, a feature we hadn't encountered elsewhere. This was a significant positive aspect for us. Additionally, I want to extend special thanks to the store manager, Leslie, and our hygienist Edith for her exceptional assistance throughout our visit.

Jade L.

Grand Central

The entire team was amazing, but my hygienist, Jose Contreras, was particularly incredible. As someone with pretty severe dental anxiety, he went above and beyond to soothe any concerns I had, and had a great personality and sense of humor, too. Can’t believe I’m actually looking forward to my next cleaning. Thank you to the whole team!

Allison T.

I had a great experience! I Came here for a cleaning/ general checkup. Doctor was very thorough and went through X-rays with me and answered all my questions. And the hygienist i had did an excellent job. He was super thoughtful and left my teeth sparkly clean without hurting me. And the office itself is adorable, it’s very clean and well decorated. Overall it was a great experience and I will be returning!

The best dentist office I have ever been apart of. The staff are always welcoming and helpful, the location is always clean and smells really nice and the doctors and hygienists are the most respectful, intelligent, skilled and supportive I have ever encountered. They have helped me so much physically with my smile and dental anxiety. I’m so grateful for this amazing place!

Priscilla V

Very professional, clean and efficient dentist office with early morning hours that allows me not to miss time from work. Entire staff are amazing.

Mel W.

Grand Central

From the time I walked in to the time I walked out, a class act! II thought it was going to be really expensive and someone hovering over me just ringing up the cash register. This was not the case. If you don't need it, they won't push it on you, however, they give you the option and pricing up front.

Originale P.

Grand Central

It's a bonus that despite the swanky feel of the office and the really thoughtful service, they don't try to upsell you and the prices for out-of-pocket expenses are reasonable and discussed upfront.

My hygienist...was sooooo awesome and sweet! Loved the attention and care that went into this visit. She was very attentive to my concerns and eased any anxiety I had!

Melissa A.

Grand Central

Dr. Lina is awesome. She is very professional, kind and does beautiful work (I needed to have a crown replaced because of a cavity that had formed underneath). She tells you everything she is doing every step of the way and continually checks that you are okay. She has the loveliest, calmest bedside manner (a great dentist for all, but would be especially good for those who are very anxious about going to the dentist). Really I can't say enough good things about her, she is terrific. The office staff, hygienists, dental assistants have all been lovely as well, very kind and helpful, and the cleanings I have had have been really thorough. Overall a great experience!

Upper West Side

This was my first experience with Tend and it was wonderful, start to finish! Everyone I spoke with was very amicable. My past dental visits have been traumatizing. Leading me to shy away from the dentist for over a decade. Quite the opposite at Tend, the setting was very comforting. I have some complicated dentistry ahead of me, but feel very at ease with Tend. Kiara, the dental assistant, was lovely. The dentist, can’t remember his name, was kind and wasn’t judgmental at all. Tend is a very soothing facility. Love the color decor and the ceiling TV. Thank you Tend Chelsea!

I have been going to Tend Navy Yard since 2021. They set me up with an incredible treatment plan that has allowed me to progress through all the procedures that I needed. My latest treatment earlier this year with Dr. Cevallos and Alexa was perfect. The care and attention to detail made all the difference. All the scheduling and insurance admins for my visits have been done without issues. A very professional and friendly group at Tend! This photo is from my visit last Sept 2024.

The staff is spectacular, super friendly, and Dr. Ho is amazing in his service; his work is also spectacular. The facilities are very nice and super clean. I loved it and highly recommend it. Highly recommended!

My hygienist, Colitha, is truly exceptional! During every visit, she thoroughly explains any areas of concern regarding my oral care. Her dedication to educating me about maintaining better oral health has motivated me to make improvements so that, by my next visit, she can see the progress. I would gladly follow Colitha to any dental office because her compassion, outstanding customer service, expertise, and strong work ethic set her apart. Having someone of her caliber care for me gives me confidence that I’m in the best hands possible!

Tend was able to settle my anxiety around not having gone to the dentist in 7+ years. The experience was seamless from the moment i entered to when i left. My care team was very thorough and informative. Shout out to Riana at the reception desk! They were such a lovely, patient, and kind person who took the extra care to help settle my anxiety around billing. Overall very satisfied; Tend is my new dentist home.

Auzzie D.

Staff, Doctors and dental Hygienist are caring and knowledgeable. The ambience makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I can say not every dentist office can make me feel the same way. I’m so glad I found this place.

Katia C.

Upper East Side

My visit to Golden Triangle was just as amazing and comfortable as my experiences at other Tend locations. Dr. Sukys and his assistant, Ariel, along with Kourtni at the welcome desk, made my root canal surgery completely painless and stress-free from start to finish. They were all so friendly, efficient, and caring. I’m so happy to have finally taken care of my two teeth in such great hands! Thank YOU all!

My experience at Tend continues to be first rate, with top dental care and efficient, caring support staff.

Park Slope

I love love loveddddd my experience! This was my first time and the place was gorgeous, clean. I was welcomed upon entry and helped right away. Everything felt personalized. I enjoyed being a part of the whole visit, I saw my X-rays right on the screen in front of me as they were being taken, I got to watch a show which I chose before hand while I had my cleaning done. The dentist explained every part of the exam and what she was doing, what she found. Best dental experience ever!

As a person with some dentist anxiety this was a nerve wracking appointment. Oksana took such great care of me and was so patient. It was easy to trust them and everyone made me very comfortable.

Jess D.

Downtown Brooklyn

I go to Tend in DC and honestly, it’s been the best dental experience I’ve had. Everyone there is super friendly and the whole place feels clean, modern, and calming. Dr. Soni is wonderful. She’s incredibly kind, gentle, and professional. I felt really taken care of, and she explained everything clearly without rushing. If you’re in DC and looking for a dentist who actually makes you feel comfortable, I’d definitely recommend Tend!

Yilia S.

Metro Center

The office is a clean, modern aesthetic that makes you feel relaxed. Staff are super friendly, cleaning process felt smooth. Everyone is transparent with procedures and don’t shame you for your health. I look forward to future visits with them.

Buddy A.

Golden Triangle

This was seriously the best experience ever. Everyone is so incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. I received fantastic care in a clean and welcoming environment. Amazing amenities too - I watched The Office on Netflix after using a heated eye mask. I was so comfy I fell asleep. I can't wait to come back.

Francesca R.

Flatiron

I have a ton of anxiety about these visits and have never been great with follow up but not this time. Everyone there does an amazing job of putting you at ease. The doctors are highly competent and compassionate as are all the assistants and hygienists that I’ve been lucky enough to meet. Really, it’s that good!

Janet R.

Wall Street

I was recommended Tend when I first moved here, and I’ve been loving my experience ever since! They are very flexible and willing to figure out the best plan for you. They always make sure I’m comfortable, and with their TVs, it’s a much easier experience if you’re not fond of going to the dentist. Shoutout to Nancy who always makes sure my sensitive teeth and I are cared for!

Hannah G.

Chelsea

I love Tend! The office is beautiful and clean. My appointments are always on time and easy to book online. Lena’s cleaning today was the gentlest I’ve ever had. Watching TV during the appointment is relaxing. This makes going to the dentist enjoyable.

Nicole G.

Westport

The time between when I first made contact with Tend and when I had my custom night guard in my hand was 15 days, which has to be some sort of record. All for about half the price that other dentists in the area quoted me. The dentist and her hygienist/assistant were very kind, knowledgeable, and prompt. I’m very grateful to Tend!

Alayna J.

Kendall Square

They also had contactless payment, and let me know up front that there would be no cost associated with my visit based on my insurance. I’ll definitely be back! This is how all dentists should be!

Katie G.

Flatiron

I went in for a regular checkup and the whole process was a breeze. They accepted my insurance and told me their costs prior to my appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, we’re currently welcoming new patients to this location! Whether it’s been six months or six years 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, 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.

Absolutely. We partner with major dental insurers to get you amazing care at amazing prices. We also offer a real-time online benefits check before you come in. 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, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Guardian, MetLife, United Concordia, Principal, Oxford Health Plans, and Ameritas. Read more about insurance.

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—like 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 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 you can’t get rid of with brushing and flossing alone—and they’re key to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.

Your first visit 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 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.

The environment is designed to feel calm and spa-like, so you can relax and actually enjoy taking care of your smile.

Call us at 212-257-3455. Just make sure to do so more than 48 hours before your appointment time. If you cancel or reschedule less than 48 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 $100 fee. This is because we reserved that time specifically for you, and our appointments are in high demand.
