-
Are you accepting new patients at Tend Dental Rockefeller Center?
Yes, we look forward to welcoming new patients at Tend Dental Rockefeller Center! Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last dental appointment, 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.
Your first visit will include a comprehensive exam, a detailed review of your oral health, and time to discuss any concerns or goals you may have. We’ll ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported from the moment you walk in.
-
How often should I come in for a dental cleaning?
In most situations, we recommend having a dental cleaning and checkup every six months. This is standard for the majority of patients. These routine exams help us catch small issues like early signs of decay or gum disease. This allows for proactive treatments that prevent issues from developing in the first place.
However, some patients may need to visit more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances such as 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 there are no oral health concerns, cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't remove. They’re crucial to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.
-
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit is designed to be both thorough and welcoming. Here’s what it includes:
- A dental exam to evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health
- Digital X-rays for a detailed look below the surface
- A gentle, professional cleaning tailored to your needs
- An in-depth conversation with your dentist to review findings, answer questions, and plan treatment if needed
We’ll review your dental history, discuss your goals, like improving oral health or brightening your smile, and allow time for questions without rushing.
The environment is designed to feel calm and soothing, so you can relax and genuinely appreciate the process of caring for your smile.
-
What are your payment and financing options?
At Tend Dental Rockefeller Center, 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 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.
