Cardenas Rafael M DDS

A small slip of East Providence, between Waterman Avenue and the Pawtuxet’s quiet hum, hosts Cardenas Rafael M DDS—the kind of practice that keeps check-ups fluent, crowns sturdy, and braces from feeling like a chore. General and cosmetic procedures land under one roof: cleanings, fillings, extractions, crowns and bridges, partial or full dentures, and in-house whitening that wraps up in one visit. Oral surgery and periodontal care sit on the same schedule, which can save afternoons that would otherwise split across half-a-dozen specialists.

If you miss the exit for Waterman, the address is 420 Waterman Ave, East Providence, RI 02914—a storefront strip where parking hugs the curve of the building and the light is always practical, never fancy. The office sits above the street level ramp, so ascending two flights feels like it takes three seconds, not three minutes. Buses 5, 23, and 54 roll past every twenty minutes, and the paw-walkers at Seekonk’s spice shop keep the sidewalks lively even in November gloom.

For a last-minute root tip, cracked incisor, or just the usual two prophys a year, dial *401-434-4858* and leave a message before 5 p.m. An actual human usually calls back before the day ends. Same-day urgent slots open at 8 a.m., but early birds usually get the worm—or in this case, the earliest cancel.

When you need a dentist who still remembers your name from 2017’s hygiene run, Cardenas Rafael M DDS keeps its door a little closer than the mall clinics.
