East Side Endodontics

Dr. Laila Kafi, DDS, and the entire team at Eastside Endodontics in Providence, RI, have earned my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation. I recently had a root canal performed under her exceptional care, and the entire experience was nothing short of Outstanding—elevating what is often viewed as a daunting procedure into one that felt professional, reassuring, and genuinely comfortable. From the moment I arrived, the office and treatment room exuded a calm ambiance that immediately eased any pre-procedure nerves. The staff were warm, attentive, and impeccably organized, treating every detail with thoughtfulness that made me feel truly valued as a patient. Dr. Kafi’s specialization in microscopic endodontics sets her apart in the most impressive way. After a thorough review of my imaging studies, she explained her findings with remarkable clarity and precision, walking me through the procedure step-by -step while inviting and answering every question I had. Her ability to translate complex technical information into accessible, reassuring language reflected not only profound expertise but also a deep respect for informed patient partnership. Most remarkably, I experienced zero discomfort—during the procedure itself or in the days that followed. The meticulous technique and advanced approach Dr. Kafi employs made the entire process feel effortless, a testament to her mastery of the field. Dr. Kafi is *Second- to-None* in endodontics. If you’re seeking the highest standard of care delivered with compassion, intelligence, and precision, look no further. Eastside Endodontics—and especially Dr. Kafi—has earned my complete trust and enthusiastic recommendation. I’m grateful beyond words and would choose her again in a heartbeat.

Dr Kraut performed my root canal and did a wonderful job. I never had a root canal and was extremely nervous. Dr Kraut assured me I would feel no pain at all during the procedure and he was correct. The procedure for me was completely pain free and effortless. Dr Kraut his medical assistant and the entire team in the office were so so kind and welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr Kraut and his practice to my family and friends.

Dr. Kafi and Alex completed a root canal on me yesterday afternoon. And I keep forgetting because I’ve had literally no pain, swelling or discomfort. They both put me at ease immediately and the whole process was virtually painless (tiny pinch of the first anesthetic). The entire office has a relaxing, zen-like vibe. And my experience from start to finish yesterday (including the person who checked me in/out) was really positive.

I had my first root canal end of January by Dr. Kraut and he was incredible. I was truly petrified coming in, but he was so patient and walked me through the entire process. His assistant was just as incredible, I believe she said her name was Crystal. They both continuously checked with me about how I was feeling during the process, while counting down the minutes. The following day I had no swelling, and really not a lot of pain. With advil for just two days after, I was feeling great! Thank you again!

My experience with Dr. Kafi at East Side Endodontics was excellent! I have had significant dental work done throughout my life. This was a 5th root canal procedure. I have had a great deal of painful dental work unfortunately. Very difficult to get numb. Dr. Kafi quickly identified that I have an anatomical difference in my jaw which would require a different approach to numbing - She took her time in numbing me and checking several times to ensure I was completely numb. The entire procedure was painless! Even the injections were only mildly painful. I was comfortable and well cared for. Dr. Kafi explained every step along the way and checked in frequently to make sure I was ok. The office itself is clean, modern and comfortable. Front desk staff are attentive and kind. Dr. Kafi is a 5 star plus endo. I would not hesitate to refer family and friends. The only downside is that you may have to wait a bit for an appointment because the office is so busy but it is well worth the wait.
