Frequently asked questions
We love answering your questions! Scroll through our FAQ section to find everything you're wondering about before your visit to Tend Dental Long Island City.
-
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, we’re accepting new patients at Tend Dental Long Island City! Whether it’s been six months or six years since you last visited the dentist, our team is here to make you feel at ease. We pride ourselves on creating a judgment-free environment where every patient is treated with empathy and respect.
During your first visit, you will undergo a comprehensive exam, receive a detailed review of your oral health, and have time to talk through any concerns or goals you have. We’ll make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported from the moment you walk in.
-
How often should I come in to Tend Dental Long Island City for a dental cleaning?
Our dental professionals recommend coming in for a cleaning and checkup every six months. This is the standard timeframe for most patients. These regular visits help us monitor your oral health and see a complete picture of your dental health over time.
In some cases, patients may need to visit the dentist more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances such as clear aligners, or are more prone to plaque buildup. Your dentist will work with you to create a personalized care plan based on your needs, so you’re always getting the right level of care at the right time.
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.
-
Do you take dental insurance?
We accept most major dental insurance plans and will help you make sense of how your coverage fits into your care.
The insurers we partner with include Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Guardian, MetLife, United Concordia, Principal, Oxford Health Plans, and Ameritas.

What are your payment and financing options?
At Tend Dental Long Island City, we aim to make paying for your dental care as simple and stress-free as possible.
You can securely pay your bill online with easy, encrypted options like HSA/FSA cards, credit or debit cards, Apple Pay/Google Pay, and more. Through our partner Cedar, you can view your insurance details, track balances, receive reminders, and even set up a custom 0% interest payment plan that fits your budget.
We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit, a healthcare-focused credit option that lets approved patients spread out their dental costs in convenient monthly payments, including for care not fully covered by insurance.
Before any treatment, we’ll clearly explain your expected costs and payment choices so you feel confident moving forward
-
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit is designed to be both thorough and inviting. Here’s what it features:
- A complete dental exam to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health
- Digital X-rays (radiographs) for a detailed look below the surface (with significantly lower radiation than traditional X-rays)
- Professional teeth cleaning that is gentle and designed to meet your oral health needs
- A one-on-one conversation with your dentist, who will walk you through any findings, answer your questions, and create a treatment plan if needed
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 team focuses on creating an environment where every detail matters, helping patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their visit.
-
How do I cancel or reschedule my appointment?
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please call our team at (929) 588-2455 . Just make sure to do so more than 48 hours before your appointment time. Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you, and our availability is in high demand, so we appreciate as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule.

What Is a Dental Emergency?
It can be difficult to tell whether you need emergency dental care immediately or just a prompt appointment in a day or two. Understanding more about dental emergencies can make knowing what to do a little easier.
