Tend Dental

Tend Dental Westport is a modern dental clinic located at 1375 Post Rd E, Westport, CT. Part of the larger Tend brand, this location is dedicated to providing a comfortable, anxiety-free dental experience. The clinic offers a full spectrum of dental services for adults and children, including general dentistry, cosmetic treatments, orthodontics (such as invisible aligners), and same-day emergency care. The core philosophy of Tend is to transform the traditional, often dreaded, dental visit into a pleasant and even enjoyable experience. This is reflected in their thoughtfully designed studios, which are described as being warm and inviting rather than clinical. To enhance patient comfort, they use state-of-the-art technology like digital X-rays and 3D scanning, which are less invasive and more precise. A unique feature of the patient experience is the "personal suite" with a ceiling-mounted TV where patients can watch a show or movie of their choice using wireless headphones, helping to distract from the procedure. They also provide a "comfort menu" with additional amenities. Tend emphasizes transparency in pricing and a no-judgment approach to dental care. They work with most major insurance providers and offer clear, upfront pricing so patients know the costs before a visit. The team, including dentists like Dr. Sung Nam and Dr. Lexis Philips, is trained to be kind and empathetic, focusing on what's next for a patient's oral health rather than dwelling on the past. The clinic also makes it easy for patients to book appointments online, including evening and weekend hours to accommodate busy schedules.
