We know planning a visit comes with questions! Our FAQs below cover the important details and helpful tips.
Yes, we’re currently welcoming new patients at Tend Dental Upper West Side! Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last dental appointment, our team is here to help you feel comfortable. We take pride in providing 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 ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported from the moment you walk in.
At Tend Dental Upper West Side, 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.

Before any treatment, we’ll clearly explain your expected costs and payment choices so you feel confident moving forward
You should aim to visit us for a cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard for most patients. These regular visits allow us to identify potential issues early, such as the first signs of decay or gum disease, allowing us to address them before they become more serious or costly to treat.
However, some patients may need to visit 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 closely with you to develop a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs. This way, you'll always receive the perfect level of care exactly when you need it, making your dental experience as comfortable and effective as possible.
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.
Your first visit is designed to be both thorough and welcoming. From seamless booking to family-friendly touches, we’ve thought of everything to make your experience comfortable from the moment you arrive.
Here’s what it includes:
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 be calm and soothing, helping you relax and enjoy caring for your smile.
We accept many major dental insurance plans and help you make the most of your benefits.
Some of the many insurers that 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.
