As a person who genuinely dreads the dentist, I'm so thrilled to have found tend. The staff is great at easing anxiety, and didn't make me feel judged at all. Gorgeous, clean space, basically zero wait time, and the option to watch a show with noise cancelling headphones during the cleaning was absolutely amazing. thank you!

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.

Wonderful dental experience. Friendly and professional staff from the time you enter the front door. No judgment at all about my dental health. The place is spotless.

When I came in, the team was so gentle with my cleaning and I never felt judged. I didnt get flossed shamed and when it came time to review my teeth, [the dentist] took the time to show me my xrays, where my cavity was (no dentist has ever done this for me) which I really appreciated.

First dental appointment in YEARS: Bright calming studio space. Every single person I encountered was the picture of courtesy and helpfulness- not one ounce of guilt or judgement.

How will I know which dentist or hygienist I’ll be seeing?
Before your visit, we’ll give you a call to say hi and answer any questions you may have. We’ll also tell you a bit about the dentist you’re going to see. If there’s someone in particular you’re hoping to be seen by, feel free to call us at [(202)539-2051](tel:202-539-2051).
What if I want to reschedule with a different dentist or hygienist than the one I've been paired with?
Totally fine! Just give us a call at [(202)539-2051](tel:202-539-2051).
How do I reschedule or cancel my appointment?
Call us at (888) 818-3686. 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.
What services do you offer?
Our DC dental offices offer a full range of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental services. For preventative and restorative dental care, we offer routine exams, implants, and everything in between. For cosmetic care, we’ll help you redesign your smile with orthodontics, whitening, and veneers. [Read more about our services](/services).

We currently do not see children under 13, but we are more than happy to recommend pediatric dentists in the Washington DC metro area. Just give us a call at [(202)539-2051](tel:202-539-2051).
Do appointments really start on time?
We make a superhuman effort to start every visit on time. If you do have to wait, you probably won’t even have time to finish the Beyoncé song in your headphones. Our average wait time is 3 minutes.
