Not Sure You Can Trust a New Dentist? Here's What You Can Expect from Tend

Looking for a Dental Office You Can Count On? Here's What Makes Tend Different

Searching for a new dental office in the city can feel overwhelming. And if you’re a little nervous about it, you’re definitely not the only one. Whether it’s been a few months or a few years since your last dental checkup, it’s normal to want care that’s clear, comfortable, and easy to trust.

At Tend, we’re working to make that experience better starting with how you feel when you walk in. We offer general dentistry, dental emergencies, oral surgery, and orthodontic treatment all in one place. Whether you need a dental cleaning, full mouth x-rays, teeth whitening, or dental implants, we’re here to help you take better care of your dental health.

We also offer cosmetic dentistry services like porcelain veneers and Invisalign, along with preventive dentistry options to help you stay ahead of future problems. With extended office hours, weekend availability, and a dental staff focused on your comfort and clarity, we’re here to support your health on your schedule.

More Time with Your Dentist Means More Confidence in Your Care

One of the things our members appreciate most is the time they get with their providers. In many traditional dental offices, appointments are stacked too closely together. Our teams at Tend allow more time for every visit so you’re not rushed in and out without the chance to ask questions or understand what’s going on with your dental care.

During your first appointment, which includes a comprehensive oral exam and full mouth x-rays, you’ll have time to talk about any concerns. From there, we walk you through your treatment options, whether it’s a basic dental cleaning, orthodontic treatment, or something more involved like dental implants or cosmetic dentistry.

We want every visit to feel like a two-way conversation, not a checklist.

Treatment Plans That Make Sense

No one likes to feel unsure about a treatment plan, and we don’t think you should have to. Our providers are trained to explain the “why” behind any dental procedure, whether it’s something small like a filling or something more complex like cosmetic dentistry or oral surgery.

You’ll be shown your x-rays, talked through your diagnosis, and given time to make a decision that’s right for you. We’ll never rush you, pressure you, or make you feel like you’re being sold something you don’t need.

If you want to get a second opinion, we support that. Good dental care is about partnership, not pressure.

We Make Dental Insurance (and Costs) Easier to Understand

We know that dental insurance plans and dental benefits can be confusing. That’s why we’re in-network with most major PPO plans and provide a detailed cost estimate before your appointment. Whether you're coming in for preventive dentistry, teeth whitening, or dental implants, we’ll show you what your plan covers and what your out-of-pocket costs might be.

You’ll also get access to your secure member portal, where you can review visit notes, upcoming appointments, and dental procedures you’ve completed or scheduled. If you don’t have insurance, no problem. We offer clear, up-front pricing estimates and, in Boston, membership plans designed to make preventive care more accessible without sacrificing quality.

One Dental Office. All the Services You Need.

We keep everything under one roof. That means you won’t need to visit multiple providers or locations to manage your dental care. We offer general dentistry, dental emergencies, orthodontic treatment, cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, and restorative work like dental implants, all in one dental office.

Need a quick dental cleaning before an event? Interested in cosmetic dentistry to enhance your smile? Dealing with a painful dental emergency? Our team is equipped to help, and you won’t have to piece together your care from multiple places.

Our dental hygienists, general dentists, and specialists all work together, so your treatment plan stays organized and coordinated. You won’t have to repeat your history or worry about lost information.

Designed to Help You Feel at Ease

Walking into a dental office can bring up nerves, especially if you’ve had a negative experience in the past. That’s why we designed our studios to feel calm and modern, without the cold, clinical feel that people often expect.

From soft lighting and quiet spaces to noise-canceling headphones and TVs above the chair, our environment is built to help ease dental anxiety. We want you to feel more relaxed, whether you're in for a routine dental cleaning or something more involved like cosmetic dentistry or dental implants.

We know small things can make a big difference.

Open Late. Open on Weekends. Open for You.

Life doesn’t always run on a 9-to-5 schedule. That’s why many of our dental offices offer extended hours, evening appointments, and weekend availability. Whether you’re juggling work, family, or just want to avoid taking time off, we’re here when it works for you.

Need a Saturday dental cleaning? Dealing with a chipped tooth after hours? Want to come in early before your workday starts? Our flexible office hours make it easier to prioritize your dental health without rearranging your life.

You can book online in minutes, reschedule with ease, and now directly reach out to your studio with questions or concerns.

We’re Always Listening and Always Improving

No dental office is perfect, and we don’t pretend to be. But we do listen, and we grow from what we learn. We regularly review patient reviews, analyze appointment feedback, and audit our clinical recommendations to ensure we’re giving consistent, thoughtful care across every location.

That includes updating how we explain coverage for PPO plans, improving clarity around treatment costs, and working with our dental staff to ensure communication is always helpful and respectful.

Our mission is to make dental care feel better, more human, more transparent, and more empowering. And we’re committed to working toward that every single day.
