Amazing experience. Everything was explained clearly, and I really appreciated the thoughtful touches, from the toothbrush kit at arrival to the music, headphones, and TV. It really helped ease my anxiety, knowing I was in good hands with the team here. Overall, a great visit, and I’m looking forward to starting the medicated trays that were recommended to me.

Yes, we are welcoming new patients at Tend Dental Pentagon City! Our team is here to make you feel at ease, no matter how long it's been since your last visit. We pride ourselves on creating a judgment-free environment where every patient is treated with empathy and respect.
During your first visit to our studio, you will undergo a comprehensive exam, a detailed review of your oral health, and have 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.
Digital X-rays for a detailed look below the surface (with significantly lower radiation than traditional X-rays)
A gentle, professional cleaning that is tailored to your oral health 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 will also review your dental history, discuss your goals (whether it’s to improve your oral health or brighten your smile), and give you time to ask questions without feeling rushed.
The environment is designed to feel calm and soothing, so you can relax and actually enjoy taking care of your smile.
For most patients, we recommend scheduling a dental cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard. 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 clear aligners, or are more susceptible to plaque buildup. Your dentist will work with you to develop a personalized care plan based on your needs, ensuring you receive the right level of care at the right time.
Even when everything looks good with your smile, cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't eliminate, and they’re essential to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.
Call us at (571) 543-3171. Please ensure you do so at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. We set aside that time specifically for you, and since our appointments are highly requested, we appreciate as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule.
You can also log into your profile on the Tend Dental app to make any changes needed, including cancelling and rescheduling.
