Why Preventive Dental Care Saves You Time & Money

Routine dental visits may seem small, but they prevent bigger problems. Skipping exams could mean:


  • Undetected decay leading to root canals
  • Untreated gum disease resulting in tooth loss
  • Missed signs of oral cancer or infection

Whether it's your 6-month visit or your first appointment in years, we make your experience easy and comfortable.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gloria Andrews at Tend Chelsea for over two years, and I can confidently say she’s amazing! Dr. Andrews has the most upbeat and bubbly personality, making every visit a pleasure. She is incredibly kind, patient, and detail-oriented. I’ve been undergoing Invisalign treatment with her, and her perfectionism ensures my teeth are perfectly aligned to my liking before completing the process—a quality I deeply appreciate. She genuinely cares about her patients and encourages me to reach out anytime with questions or concerns. Dr. Andrews is truly the best, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I was recommended Tend when I first moved here, and I’ve been loving my experience ever since! They are very flexible and willing to figure out the best plan for you. They always make sure I’m comfortable, and with their TVs, it’s a much easier experience if you’re not fond of going to the dentist. Shoutout to Nancy who always makes sure my sensitive teeth and I are cared for!

I had to have a complex procedure done that I really wasn't looking forward to. Dr. Mujtaba and her assistant, Diana, allayed my fears completely by explaining every step of the process and checking in with me throughout the procedure. They were so kind and patient with me. On a previous visit, my hygienist, Veretta, was very friendly and great about guiding me through the X-rays I needed. The front desk and administrative staff have also been friendly and helpful on my two visits. I am so glad I found this clinic.

I had a dental emergency and was able to get an appointment and my tooth fixed within an hour of reaching out. The facility is nice, clean, new equipment, lots of things to make the patient comfortable. Every level of staff (front desk, dental assistance and dentist) were very nice and accommodating.

This was my first experience with Tend and it was wonderful, start to finish! Everyone I spoke with was very amicable. My past dental visits have been traumatizing. Leading me to shy away from the dentist for over a decade. Quite the opposite at Tend, the setting was very comforting. I have some complicated dentistry ahead of me, but feel very at ease with Tend. Kiara, the dental assistant, was lovely. The dentist, can’t remember his name, was kind and wasn’t judgmental at all. Tend is a very soothing facility. Love the color decor and the ceiling TV. Thank you Tend Chelsea!

Have been seeing Dr Payriani for years. And he is lovely. Overall I’ve been to many tend locations. Always great service and easy to get into and schedule with. The shift lead took the time to help with a billing issue today and was very kind and thoughtful!

I can't express how grateful I am to Tend Dentistry in Chelsea. After my son accidentally lost his two front teeth, the emergency room was of no help, and a specialist within the hospital network had inconvenient hours. In my desperation, I turned to Grok2, which led me to Tend Dentistry. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly reassuring. Jaida W., the shift leader, was fantastic - she was not only friendly but also very knowledgeable about insurance procedures, which made the whole process much less stressful. Dr. Okeke was nothing short of a miracle worker. She, along with her assistant, managed to alleviate all my son's pain and even provided him with temporary teeth. Their care was not only professional but also heartfelt, making a traumatic situation much easier to handle. The billing was straightforward, and they accept a variety of insurances, which was a huge relief. Tend Dentistry in Chelsea truly saved the day, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of dental care, especially in emergencies. Thank you, Tend Dentistry, for your exceptional service!

Frequently asked questions

Yes—zero judgment here. Whether it’s been six months or six years, we’re glad you’re making your oral health a priority again. We’ll meet you where you are and make sure you feel comfortable from the minute you walk in.

Most dentists—and the American Dental Association—recommend a routine dental exam every six months. These biannual visits help catch concerns early and keep your mouth clean and healthy.

However, some people may need to visit more frequently based on their individual oral health needs. You may benefit from more frequent visits if:

  • You’re prone to cavities or gum disease
  • You have a family history of dental problems
  • You’re pregnant or undergoing hormonal changes
  • You wear braces or other orthodontic devices
  • You smoke or use tobacco products
  • You have chronic conditions like diabetes or autoimmune diseases

Not sure what’s best for you? Your dentist will create a personalized checkup schedule based on your unique health history.

Just a valid photo ID and your insurance card (if you’re using one). If you’re transferring from another dentist, having your previous records is helpful but not required—we can request them for you.

Tend accepts most major PPO dental insurances like Delta Dental, Cigna, Guardian, Anthem, Aetna, and MetLife. However, we unfortunately do not accept Medicaid, Healthplex, or HMO plans.

Not sure if your insurance is accepted? Call our office and we'll check if you're in-network. We'll also be able to check your out-of-pocket emergency visit cost.

In most cases, yes. If everything checks out during your exam, your dental hygienist will go ahead and perform your cleaning during the same visit. If something unexpected comes up, we’ll talk through the next steps with you.

We’ll walk you through your personalized care plan and answer every question you have. If treatment is needed, we’ll go over options, costs, and schedule your next visit—always on your terms.

Yes, and they’re actually encouraged. Routine exams and cleanings are safe during all trimesters, and they’re a great way to prevent pregnancy-related oral health issues like gingivitis.

We get it—schedules are busy. That said, our studios are designed for adult care, so we recommend arranging childcare if possible to make sure you can fully relax during your visit. If you have questions about bringing a child with you, feel free to give us a call ahead of time.
