About Ricci Family Dentistry
Ricci Family Dentistry is located at 1252 Smith Street in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island — a family dental practice on Smith Street's northern residential stretch in a neighborhood adjacent to the Federal Hill and Olneyville districts. Mount Pleasant occupies the northwest quadrant of Providence, bordered by Federal Hill to the south, Manton to the west, and the city line with North Providence to the north. The neighborhood carries a strong Italian-American heritage alongside newer immigrant communities, reflecting the demographic layering of Providence's inner-residential districts. The Ricci name — Italian-American in origin — connects naturally to this community context, and Smith Street's north-south traverse through Providence links Mount Pleasant to the Providence State House area to the south and North Providence to the north.
Ricci Family Dentistry provides family dental care for patients across Mount Pleasant and the surrounding northwest Providence neighborhoods. Core services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — fillings and crowns — for patients of all ages within the household. The family scope accommodates children alongside adults, making Ricci Family Dentistry a practical dental home for multi-generational and family households in this part of the city. The named-practice identity — "Ricci" as both family name and brand — signals the personal, community-rooted approach to dental care that characterizes the best neighborhood family practices.
Smith Street's transit access via RIPTA and its position as a primary north-south corridor through northwest Providence makes Ricci Family Dentistry accessible from multiple surrounding neighborhoods — Olneyville, Manton, Federal Hill, and the North Providence border communities can all reach the 1252 address without significant travel. The 02908 zip code's patient base reflects Providence's working-class Italian-American heritage community alongside newer residents, both of whom are served by the family practice model.
For Mount Pleasant and northwest Providence families seeking family dental care on Smith Street, Ricci Family Dentistry provides community-embedded dental services in a named-practitioner practice with strong local roots.

I truly can't put into words how incredible my experience has been w/Dr. Ricci along with everyone at this practice. I've had horrific experiences at every other dental practice I have ever gone to. They've all promised me that they'd either keep my teeth in perfect condition or repair a minor issue....each and every time I've been left disappointed and suffering. My once beautiful teeth were gradually damaged so badly that I could no longer smile, without shame and embarrassment. I am lucky enough to be employed by a fellow patient of Dr. Eric, who saw that I was suffering w/ a horrific toothache and called to get me seen immediately. I was not expecting my experience here to be any different from previous dentists. I'm happy to say that I was incredibly WRONG. They actually cared that I was suffering & did everything in their power to end it. From day 1 made me feel like I was a family member , made me feel comfortable & not ashamed of the state of my teeth. Dr. Eric promised me that he would restore my teeth so that I would be able to smile again without shame. They have gone above and beyond to do just that. What Dr. Eric has done for me has changed my life. I forgot what it felt like to actually smile & laugh without worrying about my teeth being seen. Being able to look in the mirror without hating what was looking back at me. This practice is incredible, caring, compassionate, & so much more. They use the latest up to date technology to make every visit pain free and comfortable. I truly cannot say enough about how incredible this practice is. I will forever be indebted to them for changing my life. I truly have no words to express my gratitude.
Dr. Ricci is awesome. Friendly, kind, and nonjudgmental. Went in for a cleaning and it was quick and painless with his ultrasonic scaler. Best dentist I’ve ever been to.
I very much dislike doctors or dentists, because I do not trust them. Ever since I went to Ricci's Family Dentistry, it has been the best experience of my life. everyone there is like family, they always make sure you get the best service possible, and are very honest!! I will never go to another dentist!
The best dentist ever
From the moment I walked into the office and was greeted by Christina, I instantly felt at ease. I turned around to witness a wall of plaques that measured accolades but until I met Dr. Eric Ricci those plaques didn’t tell the whole story about this Doctor. Dr.Eric Ricci has a very grateful disposition that brings about other virtues……. Compassion, Humility, Trust, Sincerity but most of all INTEGRITY. I am a very lucky person to have found this practice and I am forever grateful for this Doctor. We need more Dr. Eric Ricci’s in this state. Thank you so much, Sonia
Great people and amazing help. Went in needed a cleaning and a fill was out in an hour no pain just great work by Dr. Ricci. 10/10 Experience
Awesome people!!!!
Every visit is an example of what a gifted Professional Healthcare Provider can do! Dr. Ricci will put your mind at ease!
I cannot stress how fantastic this place is, there is no other dentist that will make sure you are comfortable, make sure you get amazing work done, and make you feel like a part of the family. I had my first fillings of my life and it was a painless enjoyable visit when you go see Eric and Nicole. Please give them a try and you will not be disappointed. Love you all!
Dr. Eric Ricci is a great dentist! Ive been going to Ricci Family Dental for a couple of years and I’ve been very impressed with Dr Ricci’s skill and professionalism as well as the warmth and attentiveness of the staff. My visits, whether for a routine cleaning, a filling or a crown, have always been pleasant and pain free with great results. 👏👍
As a verrrrryyy apprehensive patient, the staff was absolutely incredible and supportive. I never thought I’d leave a (positive) google review for a dental office, but that’s just how good the vibes are here! The best part? Noodle!
