We recommend coming in for a cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard for most patients. 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.
Some patients might need more frequent visits, especially if they have a history of gum disease, use orthodontic devices like aligners, or tend to develop plaque easily. Your dentist will develop a tailored care plan suited to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the appropriate level of care when needed.
Even if everything looks great, cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't remove, and they’re key to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.
Your first visit is designed to be a warm and comprehensive experience. Here’s what it includes:
We’ll also review your dental history, talk about your goals (whether it’s improving your oral health or brightening your smile), and give you time to ask questions without feeling rushed.
Our Tend Dental Fenway studio is designed with calm in mind. Allowing you to relax and actually enjoy taking care of your smile.

Many parents who went through traditional orthodontic treatment in their teens remember that cringeworthy feeling of showing up at school with braces. But now, many teens can achieve a straighter, healthier smile without the self-conscious feelings that often come along with traditional braces.
