Dentistry runs deep in Dr. Nam’s roots—his father is an oral surgeon, and his mother is a prosthodontist. Growing up around two dental specialists gave him an early hands-on education and sparked his passion for the craft. Today, he’s known for his strong technical expertise in surgery, prosthodontics, and esthetic dentistry.

What truly sets Dr. Nam apart, though, is his patient-first approach. He loves getting to know the people behind the smiles and makes sure every visit feels personal, informative, and comfortable.

Why people love Tend

Google reviews
+8,000 5-star reviews

I absolutely hate going to the dentist and have a lot of anxiety around being at the dentist office. Everyone from the front desk, dental assistant, and dentist were so incredibly kind to me and went out of their way to make sure I was feeling ok. Their kindness made what is typically a nerve wracking experience a much more comfortable one.

I recently had an outstanding experience at Tend! From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and made me feel right at home. Dr Ayaz was fantastic! He took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure I felt comfortable and informed about my treatment. The dental hygienist Alex was also wonderful, gentle yet thorough. He provided excellent tips for maintaining my oral health. Genesis was also very pleasant and made sure I was comfortable throughout my X-Rays. The entire visit was not only efficient but also pleasant, which is a rarity when it comes to dental appointments. Highly recommend Tend to anyone looking for a top-notch dental experience.

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.

Tend has made dental care a breeze! From the moment you step in, everyone is super friendly and helpful. They make it easy to schedule appointments and the entertainment during treatment is a nice touch.

I’ve been going to Tend for about a year now, they’re absolutely wonderful. There’s never any wait, they take you right at your appointment time. My hygienist was Christine and she was amazing. She educated me on some things, was very friendly, very gentle with the cleaning because I have very sensitive teeth. They never push anything on you and they’re very thorough with their cleanings. It’s also a very clean environment which you definitely want! I’d highly recommend!

Because of my absolute hatred of the dentist, it had admittedly been a few years since I’d had a cleaning and they found a decent number of cavities they will have to fill but they were so nice and chill about the whole thing and didn’t make me feel embarrassed about the number of fillings I was going to need to get.

Really friendly staff, very transparent and clear in communications, pricing, and what to expect. I get a lot of anxiety about the dentist and this was the best first-time dental experience I've ever had - will definitely be back and going to recommend to everyone I know! Plus the app/ease of scheduling and additional personalized touches are added bonuses.

Mosaic District

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!

The whole process was painless and being upfront with the billing is so helpful! I hate how most offices have you guessing how much treatments cost. Best part my insurance covered the visit in full! No copay! I actually can’t wait for my next visit!

Had a great experience as a new patient at Tend today. My dental hygienist was quick, effective and helped reduce my pain and anxiety. The dentist was efficient and I am very happy with the service and time spent today! Thank you.

I am thrilled to recommend the outstanding staff at Tend Dental, particularly Danielle and her team. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. Danielle, in particular, goes above and beyond to ensure every patient feels comfortable and well cared for. She and her team consistently provide top-notch service, creating a welcoming and stress-free environment for all. Whether it’s for routine checkups or more specialized care, I always leave confident that I’ve received the best treatment possible. Tend Dental truly sets the standard for excellence in patient care!

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.

Best dentist ever. I have a rare condition that makes it hard for me to numb with local anesthetic. Dr. Silvia took her personal time to research my condition and adjust her technique to offer the best pain relief possible. This is the most caring thing a doctor has ever done for me.

Michelle T.

Park Slope

Great experience! Very friendly and professional service. 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. They were punctual and didn't make me wait in the lobby at all. You get to watch Netflix during your appointment. The office was very clean and modern as well. Best dentist experience I've ever had!

Emilie C.

This was my second time visiting and both times I experienced EXCEPTIONAL service. I did not wait more than 60 seconds to be taken tot the exam room. The hygienist was amazing and gentle. The office is modern and very clean. The receptionists are always pleasant and welcoming. I will definitely be a regular. Anddddd they used my preferred name.

Octavia S.

Rockefeller Center

The best part was definitely the cleaning process, where my dental hygienist...was able to remove all the build-up on my teeth that had accumulated over a long period of time meanwhile minimizing the pain. She was so friendly and took the time to clearly explain the results of her examination...She was all-around skilled and professional and so kind.

I had my doubts about a boutique dentist but tend surpassed my expectations! The service was great! My hygienist was friendly and gentle and explained everything clearly every step of the way. I am actually a little apprehensive of the dentist and was nervous from the moment I walked through the door. But my hygienist was calm and talked me through what they would be working on that day. I got my exam and cleaning. Midway through my dentist came in to explain my X-rays and the plan I would be on for the next couple visits. Once the cleaning was over I met with someone who explained my plan in detail and how I can edit my plan at anytime to fit my schedule or financial needs. I’m thrilled by my experience.

Chyna C.

Park Slope

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!

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.

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!

The front staff and the dental team are all so happy to help and make each visit as smooth as possible! I appreciate the comfortability of the space and never dread visiting my Tend location.

Tend walked me through all my teeth, literally one by one ;) they gave me a complete update. They gave my options of what I can do and what I needed to do: At the end they had a full Plan turned around within minutes to match what I agreed to get done. Their Moto when you sit “ this space was created for you “. That’s exactly the experience , everything they do is shown on the screen in front of you personalized with your own Results. Thanks Tend !!

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.

Yes, we see elementary-aged children and offer gentle, age-appropriate care to help them build healthy habits and feel comfortable at the dentist.

To book an appointment for a child, please call us directly instead of using online booking. This helps us make sure we schedule the right type of visit with the right provider. Our team will walk you through everything and answer any questions you may have.

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.

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.

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.
