When we first launched Tend Hot Takes, we wanted to find ways to connect with our neighborhoods that felt authentic, fun, and meaningful. Partnering with 10+ local coffee shops just this year, we’ve treated our communities to over 1,000 free coffees and sweet treats — sparking smiles, conversations, and new connections along the way. At Tend, community engagement is just as important as helping members achieve their healthiest smiles. These surprise-and-delight moments let us meet neighbors where they are, learn more about the communities we serve, and show up in ways that matter. Here’s to continuing to celebrate our neighborhoods, one cup of coffee at a time.

The best way to celebrate six years of Tend? With the people who made it all possible. Our studio teams came together across the country to mark this milestone — six years of reimagining dental care, one smile at a time. Here’s to our incredible clinicians, studio teams, and support staff who bring Tend’s mission to life every day. Thank you for making our sixth anniversary one to remember.

A week later and we’re still feeling the excitement from our Clinton Hill grand opening celebration! 🎉 We’re so proud to expand Tend’s presence in Brooklyn and to continue bringing modern, member-first care to even more smiles. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how healthcare professionals deliver care, and dentistry is no exception. At Tend, we’re advancing dental care through our partnership with VideaHealth, an AI platform created for dentistry that is designed to support, not replace, our clinical expertise. By analyzing X-rays and highlighting areas that may need a closer look, VideaHealth provides an added layer of confidence for our dentists and clarity for our members. This collaboration represents a shift in how dental care is delivered. With the support of AI, our dentists can detect issues earlier, explain findings more clearly, and help every member understand their oral health more fully. The result is a visit that feels more collaborative, transparent, and empowering. AI will never replace human care. But when paired with expert clinicians, it can make every decision more precise and every experience more personal. That’s the future we’re building at Tend—one where technology and compassion work hand in hand.

Six years of smiles, and we’re just getting started! 💚 From one studio in NYC to 33 across 11 cities, we’re proud to have brightened, straightened, and cared for thousands of smiles along the way. Here’s to our incredible teams, our amazing members, and the community that’s made every milestone possible.

Dentistry is changing, and so are we. With 82% of dentists reporting burnout, Tend is redefining what it means to invest in clinicians. Our new compensation model offers up to 40% commission, equity opportunities, industry-leading PTO, and continuing education support — all designed to help our doctors thrive in and out of the chair. In their own words, our dentists share how mentorship, community, and growth make working at Tend truly different. 🔗 Read the full announcement - Link in the comments!

What an incredible day at Atlantic Antic! Our Tend team had the best time meeting neighbors, connecting with local businesses, and celebrating the vibrant Brooklyn community we’re proud to be part of. A huge thank you to the Atlantic Avenue Local Development Corporation for hosting such a wonderful event. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Behind every smile at Tend is an incredible team—and this September, it got even stronger. Join us in celebrating our newest hires. We’re so glad they’re here, and we can’t wait to see the incredible things they’ll achieve with us!
