Yes, we are currently welcoming new patients at Tend Dental Capitol Hill! 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 complete oral exam, a detailed review of your oral health, and an opportunity to discuss any concerns or goals you have. We want to make sure you feel well-informed, relaxed, and completely supported every step of the way.
We recommend visiting for a cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard for most patients. We’re passionately pioneering innovation to make these routine visits more effective, comfortable, and efficient, allowing us to spot minor problems such as early decay or gum disease before they escalate or require costly treatment.
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 when everything looks good, scheduling regular cleanings is a great way to keep your smile shining brightly. They help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing might sometimes miss, playing a big part in maintaining your teeth's health and freshness.
Your first visit to Tend Dental Capitol Hill is designed to be both thorough and welcoming. Here’s what it includes:
We’ll also take some time to review your dental history, discuss 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 evoke a sense of calm and soothing tranquillity, allowing you to relax and genuinely enjoy the process of caring for your smile.
