Why people love Tend
Clean bright offices. Efficient and friendly front desk staff. Young but technically capable dentists. Quick checkout process.
Another great visit! Their friendly approach and attention to detail is everything. Since I moved to NYC, they’ve been my first option when it comes to taking care of my teeth!
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!
Dr. Tara is truly the best! I’ve never had a dentist make me feel more comfortable in their chair when getting dental work. If I could rate her 10 stars out of 10, I would!
Just got a new implant and crowns done on my front teeth and I couldn't be happier with the result. They look great! I feel fortunate to have had this team with me through the whole process. Would recommend to anyone looking for high quality dental care combined with concierge service.
I had a great experience here. Clean, modern office. Nice hygienist and dentist. Straightforward billing and no shadiness. Considering I hadn't been to the dentist in years because of a traumatic and shady experience at a dentist in Manhattan some time ago, this was such a nice change. Highly recommend! The app is super convenient, too.
I had a really nice experience at Tend - from a comprehensive scheduling process, to them running my insurance ahead of time so I knew exactly what was covered, to a great cleaning and quick dentist visit. When the dentist suggested a nightguard I was immediately told what my insurance would cover for that, so I could make my decision with all of the facts. Very happy with my experience.
One of the best experiences I’ve had since my childhood dentist. I hat a kind and loving staff all the way through !! The front desk is very welcoming, the Hygenist is so attentive and the Dentist is very informative and answers all questions. The televisions on the ceiling and offering moisturizer for the lips are such a nice nod to the care and comfort of the patients. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.
I had a great visit today at Tend. Dr. Kane and Shania were very informative. They made my visit seamless. Can’t wait to come back !
Our visit was amazing. The receptionist was so kind and pleasant. The treatment we received was thorough, informative and educational. The Dental hygienist was exceptional!
Truly outstanding service in all regards. The whole team ensured that I received the highest quality care and service. I would say this is the best dental care office I have been to as an adult.
Wasn’t looking forward to my root canal but Dr. Yu made it painless. Managed to go about my day right after the procedure. It’s been a few days since the procedure but so far so good. Also the Studio Manager, Neday was so extremely helpful. Thank you all.
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.
Felt so at ease and comfortable at this location. Everyone treated me incredibly well and with patience and ensured I didn’t feel any pain and was watching my favorite show on Netflix!
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!
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.
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.
I cannot say enough good things about my dental hygienist, Ally! I was honestly nervous going in, especially since I haven’t been to the dentist in years, but she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease from the moment I sat down. She was incredibly gentle, thorough, and took the time to explain every step of the process, which really helped calm my nerves. Ally did such an amazing job—I’ve never had a better experience at the dentist. I’ll never go to anyone else again!
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!
Kind, knowledgeable and thorough staff and providers. Billing was discussed with me multiple times prior to the start of my exam. I had my second visit at this location and with tend in general, and I have been quite pleased with my care and the transparency I have experienced.

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.
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.
