More about root canal treatment at this clinic

East Side Endodontics provides specialist root canal treatment, endodontic retreatment, apicoectomy (surgical root-end treatment), and sedation dentistry for patients who are anxious about endodontic procedures. Patients are generally referred to East Side Endodontics by their general dentists when complex endodontic anatomy, retreatment needs, or procedural difficulty exceed the general dentist's comfort level. The East Side's professional environment — with its concentration of health-conscious, educated patients accustomed to quality specialty care — makes the Wayland neighborhood a well-suited location for a specialist endodontic practice. Post-treatment return to the referring general dentist for final crown restoration is the standard of care following endodontic treatment. For Rhode Island patients requiring specialist root canal treatment or endodontic care in Providence, East Side Endodontics at Richmond Square in the Wayland neighborhood provides focused endodontic expertise with sedation options.

More about root canal treatment at this clinic

A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth.

New England Dental

4.8(363)·3.9 km from Providence Downtown
84Smyleee

1387, Broad Street, Washington Park, Providence, Rhode Island

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 9 AM

General Dentistry is the documented focus in Providence; Root Canal Treatment sits within 7 services on profile.

Read full description

New England Dental is located at 1387 Broad Street in the Washington Park neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island — a general dentistry practice on Broad Street, one of Providence's principal south-side commercial arteries. Broad Street runs from the downtown Providence core southward through the West End, Elmwood, Washington Park, and Reservoir neighborhoods before crossing into Cranston, and the 1387 address in the Washington Park section places the practice in the southern reaches of this long corridor. Washington Park is a quiet working-class neighborhood bordering Cranston to the south, characterized by single-family homes, small businesses, and community services typical of Providence's outer residential neighborhoods, which are less densely urban than the city's core districts.

New England Dental provides general dentistry for adults and families in Washington Park and the surrounding south Providence communities. Core services include the full range of preventive and restorative care: comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, dental radiographs, tooth-colored fillings for cavities, and crown restorations for damaged teeth. The "New England Dental" brand name signals a regional, community-embedded identity rather than a nationally branded or practitioner-named model — an approach that positions the practice as a stable neighborhood institution within the Washington Park community.

Broad Street's transit accessibility — served by major RIPTA bus routes running the full length of the corridor from downtown to Cranston — makes New England Dental reachable by public transit from across South Providence, Elmwood, and the West End for car-free patients. The Washington Park location serves patients from the neighborhood itself as well as from the neighboring Cranston border communities who prefer Providence's Broad Street corridor to Cranston's own dental market. Specialist referrals point to providers in Providence or Cranston accessible via Broad Street's Route 1 connections.

For Washington Park and south Providence residents seeking general dental care on Broad Street, New England Dental provides accessible community dentistry in the southern reach of one of Providence's longest commercial corridors.

Drs Light and Conforti DMDs

189, Waterman Street, Wayland, Providence, Rhode Island

Open until 5 PM

Profile in Providence flags general dentistry; lists Root Canal Treatment alongside 6 other documented services.

Read full description

Drs Light and Conforti DMDs practices general dentistry at 189 Waterman Street in the Wayland neighborhood of Providence's East Side — a two-dentist partnership whose address is shared with Dr. Jason Conforti, DMD, one of the named principals of this practice. The partnership format identifies both Dr. Light and Dr. Conforti as equal practice partners, combining their professional identities under a dual-surname model that signals collaborative clinical and practice ownership. Waterman Street in the 02906 Wayland zip code runs through the residential-professional corridor connecting College Hill near Brown University to Wayland Square, and 189 Waterman is positioned within a stretch of the street that hosts several dental providers within a few building numbers.

Drs Light and Conforti provide general dental care for patients across the East Side and the broader Providence community. The partnership's services encompass the preventive and restorative care that most patients require for ongoing dental maintenance: comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, dental radiographs, tooth-colored fillings for cavities, and crown restorations for damaged or heavily decayed teeth. A two-dentist partnership at a single Waterman Street address offers patients scheduling flexibility relative to a solo practice while maintaining the community-embedded identity of a neighborhood practice rather than a large group operation.

The East Side's patient community at this Waterman Street address overlaps with the same population served by nearby East Side practices: Dr. Carl Cotoia, DDS at 183 Waterman Street and Dr. Lena Karkalas, DDS at 151 Waterman Street are close neighbors, while Angell Street Dental Associates and related practices serve the parallel Angell Street corridor a block north. This concentration of dental providers on and near Waterman Street reflects the East Side's professional density and the relatively affluent patient base that supports multiple dental practices within a compact geographic area.

For Providence East Side patients at 189 Waterman Street in the Wayland neighborhood, Drs Light and Conforti DMDs provide partner-led general dental care in a conveniently accessible practice steps from Wayland Square.

Dr. Jason Conforti, DMD

4.8(18)·1.8 km from Providence Downtown

189, Waterman Street, Wayland, Providence, Rhode Island

Open until 5 PM

Providence practice known for general dentistry, with Root Canal Treatment among 7 documented procedures.

Read full description

Dr. Jason Conforti, DMD practices general dentistry at 189 Waterman Street in the Wayland neighborhood of Providence's East Side — a solo practitioner entry at the same Waterman Street address as the partnership practice Drs Light and Conforti DMDs. Waterman Street runs through the College Hill and Wayland sections of the East Side, a residential street flanked by the kinds of modest professional buildings and historic homes that characterize this part of Providence between Brown University's campus and Wayland Square. The dual listing of both a solo practitioner (Dr. Jason Conforti, DMD) and a partnership (Drs Light and Conforti DMDs) at 189 Waterman Street reflects either a practice that spans both individual and partnership structures, or a period of transition in which the practice operated under both identity frameworks.

Dr. Conforti provides general dental care for patients across the East Side and the broader Providence community. Core services include the essential preventive and restorative range: comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, dental radiographs, tooth-colored fillings, and crown restorations. The East Side patient population — concentrated in the 02906 zip code that encompasses College Hill, Wayland, and the Blackstone neighborhood — tends toward educated professionals and long-established Providence families who value consistent single-provider dental relationships over time.

Waterman Street's 02906 address cluster includes several dental practitioners within a few building numbers: Dr. Carl Cotoia, DDS at 183 Waterman Street and Dr. Lena Karkalas, DDS at 151 Waterman Street are near neighbors, making this Wayland stretch of Waterman Street a discreet concentration of East Side general dental practices. Together these practices serve the preventive and restorative needs of the East Side's professional community from a set of quietly positioned residential-street addresses that suit the neighborhood's character.

For Providence East Side patients at 189 Waterman Street, Dr. Jason Conforti, DMD provides practitioner-led general dental care within the Wayland neighborhood's established dental landscape.

Konicov David I DDS

4.2(17)·1.2 km from Providence Downtown
66Smyleee

5, Benefit Street, College Hill, Providence, Rhode Island

Open until 5 PM

Documented for sedation dentistry in Providence, with root canal treatment on the service list and 8 procedures on file.

Read full description

Dr. David I. Konicov, DDS practices general and sedation dentistry at 5 Benefit Street in Providence, Rhode Island — an historically significant address on one of the most celebrated streets in New England. Benefit Street runs along the slope of College Hill in Providence's East Side, known as the "Mile of History" for its continuous row of eighteenth and nineteenth-century buildings, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The street connects the Brown University campus at the top of College Hill to the Providence waterfront below, lined with Federal and Greek Revival clapboard houses, the Providence Athenaeum library, the First Unitarian Church, and other landmarks that make Benefit Street one of the most photographed historic streetscapes in America.

Dr. Konicov provides general dental care and sedation dentistry for patients across Providence and the broader Rhode Island community. General dental services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — fillings and crowns — for patients with routine dental needs. The sedation dentistry component addresses the significant portion of the population who experience dental anxiety or phobia, offering pharmacological sedation options — nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation depending on the patient's needs and the procedure — that make treatment possible for patients who might otherwise avoid necessary dental care entirely.

Benefit Street's College Hill setting draws patients from the Brown University community, the East Side's professional residential population, and patients from across Rhode Island who specifically seek out the sedation dentistry option. The address's historical character distinguishes it from conventional commercial dental locations — an 18th-century streetscape provides an unexpected backdrop for a contemporary dental practice, but one that suits the East Side's layered cultural environment.

For Providence patients seeking general dental care with sedation options in a remarkable historic setting, Dr. David I. Konicov, DDS at 5 Benefit Street on College Hill provides accessible dentistry with anxiety management alongside one of America's great historic streets.

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.

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 root canal treatment in Providence, start here.
