About Hodosh Dental
Hodosh Dental is located at 243 Elmwood Avenue in the West End neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island — an affordable general dental practice on one of the city's principal south-side commercial corridors. Elmwood Avenue runs south from downtown Providence through the West End and Elmwood neighborhoods toward the Cranston border, lined with a mix of residential properties, small businesses, and community services that characterize this part of the city. The West End is a densely populated, historically immigrant neighborhood with roots in the city's manufacturing past and a contemporary demographic that includes Central American, Southeast Asian, and African-American communities among the most visible. Hodosh Dental's Elmwood Avenue location places it in direct contact with this working-class urban community.
Hodosh Dental provides affordable general dental care and professional cleaning services for patients across the West End, Elmwood, and South Providence neighborhoods. Services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — fillings and crowns — for patients managing routine dental health on tight budgets. The dental cleaning emphasis reflects the preventive care focus that makes the greatest long-term difference for patients in working-class communities, where restorative treatment backlogs often result from deferred preventive care. The affordable positioning makes Hodosh Dental accessible to the full spectrum of patients on this stretch of Elmwood Avenue.
Elmwood Avenue's public transit connections — served by multiple RIPTA bus routes running between downtown Providence and Cranston — make Hodosh Dental accessible to car-free patients from across South and West Providence. The Hodosh name carries Eastern European Jewish heritage associations historically connected to Rhode Island's Providence community. Specialist dental needs are available through dedicated providers in the Providence metro area, reachable via the Elmwood Avenue and Broad Street corridors.

Dr. Hodosh is an excellent dentist and his office staff are friendly and helpful.
Always the best experience. Great dentist, great staff.
Excellent Service !!!
I had a crown of 20 years replaced and within a few months while eating a piece of bread it fell off, fortunately I didn't swallow it. Unfortunately it happened around the holidays and my dentist (owner) was on vacation so the other dentist had to reinstall it. After charging $1500 for the improperly fitted crown they want to charge for me for the visit because it wasn't with the my original dentist. As if the other dentist didn't use the same staff, equipment, building and was a separate entity. This place is a money hungry establishment without good business practices, STAY AWAY. Ohhh and if he tries sending you to his buddy Cranston Orthodontics, WATCH OUT!!! What I was reassured would only take a year to fix ended up being a horrible 3.5 years. Birds of feather, I guess... ***Response to Owner - I was already there, spoke with them and that's why you're getting this review. If you want, you can contact me personally
The only negative comment I have is with your billing practices and your receptionist. I had a cleaning yesterday and she TRIED to charge me $142.00. This upsets me because how many times does it happen to other people and they don’t question it. I just happen to work in HR and I know the benefits for dental covers 2 cleaning per year. I just wish maybe these people were properly trained or go the extra mile before they say “that will be $142.00 for today’s visit”. I’m disappointed
My experience was sweet. I was a little skeptical when I entered but nothing but a great experience with V.
Amanda did an awesome job checking and cleaning my teeth. She showed professionalism.
excellent!! Painless! Fast!
Excellent service, and the Dental hygienist is amazing, she explained all the procedure. She is very good.
