The Dentist That Has Everyone Covered; Tend!
When we have a medical problem we rush to make a doctor’s appointment, but do we do the same when it comes to our teeth? None of us like going to the dentist, it’s a place filled with uncomfortable chairs, painful instruments, and long hours sitting in a less than ideal position
At least that’s what we thought until our editors discovered Tend; a dental studio in NYC that is redefining the world of oral care. Tend offers a variety of services that span preventative, cosmetic, and orthopedic care, all done in a calm, judgment-free environment.
Many people put off the dentist for a variety of reasons, but Tend is helping people all over New York City stop dreading the dentist with their next-level offerings.
The Dentophobic
Favorite Feature: Advanced Technology and calm environment
Experience: I hate going to the dentist, I go only when I have to and even then I can’t bear the pain. The suction nozzle, the sounds of the drill, and the dental probe felt so uncomfortable. I left vowing to never return again.
I never thought my dentist experience would change, that was until I stumbled upon Tend and their Advanced Technology. Their pain-minimizing and noise-reducing instruments really reassured me. I sat for an hour in the chair and got my fillings done, usually, I would be cringing and gripping the chair hard, but I never had to with Tend.
Tend’s studios are relaxing and inviting, and they really put hospitality and the forefront of their business. I can even watch Netflix in the comfiest chair ever while having my work done!
The Skeptic
Favorite Feature: No upsell
Experience: I go to the dentist as regularly as I should but even still, they always give me lists of problems that I doubt are actually there. I thought of getting second and third opinions but they were all very expensive
Tend does things differently. Their dental professionals are compensated based on if you decide to book again – not by how much work you need. Other dental offices will upsell you on expensive procedures that may be premature or unnecessary. So shocking!
The pricing on the Tend website is also transparent so I know how much my procedure would roughly cost. Plus, they take a wide range of insurance; you can check to see if you’re covered on their website before your appointment so you won’t be hit with any sudden fees.
I love how upfront Tend is about price, I’ll definitely be going to the dentist a lot more regularly now!
The Procrastinator
Favorite Feature: Looks and feels like a spa, no judgment
Experience: From the boring waiting rooms to the uncomfortable chairs, nothing about going to the dentist is an enjoyable experience.
Tendis different, I feel like I am walking into a five-star hotel or a spa. The space is warm and inviting while still remaining pristine the way you want with any medical facility. A contactless check-in, room with my name on it, and my own screen with Netflix access so I can watch Friends and let Chandler’s sarcastic jokes mute the sound of the drills.
Plus, this was the first time I wasn’t made to feel guilty for how long ago my last check-up was. The Tend professionals are nice, understanding, and will never tooth shame you.
Final Notes
Tend is the dental practice that has something for everyone to love. With locations all over New York- Grand Central, Williamsburg, Chelsea, Wall Street, Flatiron, and the Upper West Side, you won’t have to go far to get the expert oral care you need.
