  • Untreated gum disease resulting in tooth loss
  • Missed signs of oral cancer or infection

Can’t say enough positive things. Appointments were readily available to see me for an emergency visit, checkin was seamless and the host was super nice. In the treatment room the team showed excellent care and compassion and stayed a little longer to help me knowing my schedule was tight and I was leaving NY for two weeks. Can’t imagine this is regular service but super appreciated. Love the service and access to the care, the team were professional and super kind, and the facility (I’ve visited several locations) is/are super impressive. Not the old school dentist. This is the evolution of care. Great job Tend!

Everything from making an appointment for an emergency visit and having them expedite the process to have me seen and treatment complete quickly was great. Dr. Cook and his team paid attention to detail. Will definitely be back!

I took my mother to this medical practice today, which was a refreshing change from our previous experiences. My mother, who doesn't speak English, often found it challenging to communicate at other clinics. However, this practice stood out by offering interpreter services, a feature we hadn't encountered elsewhere. This was a significant positive aspect for us. Additionally, I want to extend special thanks to the store manager, Leslie, and our hygienist Edith for her exceptional assistance throughout our visit.

The entire team was amazing, but my hygienist, Jose Contreras, was particularly incredible. As someone with pretty severe dental anxiety, he went above and beyond to soothe any concerns I had, and had a great personality and sense of humor, too. Can’t believe I’m actually looking forward to my next cleaning. Thank you to the whole team!

From the time I walked in to the time I walked out, a class act! II thought it was going to be really expensive and someone hovering over me just ringing up the cash register. This was not the case. If you don't need it, they won't push it on you, however, they give you the option and pricing up front.

It's a bonus that despite the swanky feel of the office and the really thoughtful service, they don't try to upsell you and the prices for out-of-pocket expenses are reasonable and discussed upfront.

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.
