Read full description

Dr. Daniel K. Coleman, DMD MS practices at 417 Angell Street in the Wayland neighborhood of Providence's East Side, Rhode Island — a credentialed dentist whose "DMD MS" designation indicates both a dental degree and a postgraduate master of science qualification, reflecting advanced academic training beyond the standard dental curriculum. Angell Street is the main east-west artery through Wayland, Providence's upscale East Side neighborhood adjacent to Brown University and RISD, and 417 Angell Street is a professional building that also hosts Eastside Periodontics — a specialist periodontic practice serving the East Side community from the same address. The co-location of a named practitioner and a specialist periodontic practice at the same building reflects the professional density that characterizes the East Side's dental landscape.

Dr. Coleman provides dental care for patients across the East Side and the greater Providence area, with his advanced academic credentials suggesting depth of expertise beyond entry-level general dental practice. The DMD MS qualification may reflect specialization or advanced study in a clinical or research dental discipline, positioning Dr. Coleman among the more academically credentialed practitioners in the East Side market. Services encompass the essential range of preventive and restorative dentistry: examinations, cleanings, radiographs, fillings, and restorations for patients managing dental health maintenance and treatment needs.

The 417 Angell Street address places Dr. Coleman's practice adjacent to Angell Street Dental Associates and Dr. Charles Riotto DMD at 425 Angell Street — a compact stretch of Angell Street that has become a small concentration of dental providers in the Wayland commercial zone. The neighborhood's educated and health-conscious patient population provides a receptive base for a credentialed, academically distinguished solo practitioner. Specialist periodontic needs can be addressed by Eastside Periodontics sharing the same building at 417 Angell Street, providing convenient in-building referral access.

For Providence East Side patients seeking a credentialed, academically trained solo dentist at 417 Angell Street, Dr. Daniel K. Coleman, DMD MS offers a distinctive practice within the Wayland neighborhood's dental cluster.

Orthodontics isn't listed directly on profile, but this Providence clinic is documented for periodontal care across 1 services.

Read full description

Eastside Periodontics is located at 417 Angell Street in the Wayland neighborhood of Providence's East Side — a specialist periodontic practice serving patients across Rhode Island who require gum disease treatment, implant surgery, and periodontal surgical procedures. The 417 Angell Street address is shared with Dr. Daniel K. Coleman, DMD MS, who also practices at this building — making it a professional multi-specialty location at the heart of the East Side's Angell Street dental corridor. Angell Street runs east-west through the Wayland neighborhood adjacent to Wayland Square, and its concentration of dental practices at numbers 417 and 425 reflects the street's character as one of Providence's primary destinations for dental specialty services.

Eastside Periodontics provides specialist periodontal care for patients referred from general dental practices throughout Rhode Island. Periodontics encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) at all stages of severity, from non-surgical scaling and root planing for early-to-moderate disease through to surgical flap procedures, bone grafting, and guided tissue regeneration for advanced periodontitis. The specialty also encompasses dental implant placement — a growing component of periodontal practice that allows the periodontist to surgically place titanium implants and perform the pre-implant bone grafting that insufficient bone volume often requires. Patients are typically referred to specialist periodontic practices when gum disease has advanced beyond what a general dentist's maintenance protocols can manage, or when implant placement requires surgical expertise.

The East Side's patient population — educated, health-engaged, and accustomed to specialist care — provides a receptive base for a periodontic specialty practice, and the Angell Street location places Eastside Periodontics within easy reach of the Providence metro's densely populated professional community.

For Rhode Island patients requiring specialist periodontal treatment or dental implant placement, Eastside Periodontics at 417 Angell Street in Providence's Wayland neighborhood provides dedicated periodontic care from a prime East Side address.

Ricci Family Dentistry

1252, Smith Street, Mount Pleasant, Providence, Rhode Island

Closed · Opens Monday at 8:30 AM

Orthodontics isn't listed directly on profile, but this Providence clinic is documented for family dental care across 3 services.

Read full description

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.

Romani Orthodontics

869, Broadway, East Providence, Rhode Island(nearby)

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8 AM

Orthodontics sits alongside Braces and Invisalign on this East Providence clinic's documented service list.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Romani Orthodontics is an orthodontic practice on Broadway in East Providence, Rhode Island. The practice focuses on straightening teeth and correcting bite problems for patients of every age, from children to adults, with focused orthodontic expertise across every stage of care. Orthodontic treatment moves teeth gradually into a better position to address crowding, gaps, and bite problems. Alignment can also shift over the years, so orthodontic treatment is valuable for adults as well as children and teens. The practice provides orthodontic care across a range of ages and cases. Treatment options generally range from traditional braces to Invisalign clear aligners, a more discreet way to straighten teeth, and an orthodontic assessment determines the right approach for each patient. Because orthodontic treatment runs over many months, the practice is set up for the regular adjustment visits it requires, as well as the retainer stage that follows active treatment and holds the teeth in their new position. An orthodontic consultation is the natural starting point, allowing the practice to examine the teeth and bite, discuss the realistic options, and explain the expected length of treatment. You can review Romani Orthodontics’ services and contact details on this page and reach the office directly to arrange an orthodontic consultation.

How to Choose a Dentist in Providence (RI)

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Providence has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver. We spent time reviewing patient outcomes, checking credentials, comparing pricing, and analyzing feedback from patients who've had orthodontist work done across the Providence metro area.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Providence, Rhode Island that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for orthodontist in Providence, start here.
