Dr. Carlsten has been at 433 Lloyd Avenue in Providence, RI since 1979. He is particularly proud to be affiliated with Health Services of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design. He currently serves as Diplomat for the National Board of Dental Examiners and the North East Regional Board of Dental Examiners. Dr. Carlsten is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island, attaining Deans List each semester and earning his B.S. Degree in Biology.
Prior to private practice, Dr. Carlsten, while serving as a dentist in the US Air Force, was Chairman of the Library Committee and Continuing Education Committee. He completed rotations in Restorative Dentistry, Periodontics, Endodontics, Pedodontics, Oral Surgery, and Prosthodontics. Dr. Carlsten is a proud father of three and grandfather of seven. He enjoys skiing, kayaking, biking, swimming, hiking and playing squash.
Also, he loves The Arts: the Rhode Island Philharmonic, all the visual arts, and the theatre. He also makes a feeble attempt to play the piano. Advocating, supporting, and protecting the environment remains an important concern to Dr. Carlsten.
Dr. Carlsten recognizes and appreciates (for himself and on behalf of his patients) the essential contributions of each and every member of his staff. Individually they are exceptional; collectively they form a superlative, cooperative team whose singular focus is on the best caring for each individual patient.
Keri, a graduate of Lincoln Technical School and our newest dental assistant, has been with us since 2007. She also is x-ray certified and likes - in addition to routine skills constructing whitening trays and temporary crowns. One of her greatest attributes is her caring attitude and her very upbeat nature. She considers each day a festive day at Advanced Dental Care. Away from the office she continues her fun at the beach or roller blading not at the same time!
Tracy, Registered Dental Hygienist has been with Advanced Dental Care since 1999. Add to that ten years prior experience and you know why I have so much respect for her skills. Not just from years of working, but more from a caring attitude. Hands on experience and continuing education bring us a wealth of knowledge and skills. Underlying this is a commitment to educating our patients regarding prevention of disease and maintenance of health. Tracy also has a wonderful husband and two great kids.
Lynn, our ever pleasant and caring treatment coordinator, has been with us at Advanced Dental Care since 2006. Having previously worked in a periodontal office, she brings that additional specialty knowledge to our practice. Our patients appreciate her patient explanation of their treatment needs and insurance concerns. When not with her loving husband George, or visiting her sons, Michael and Joe, she relishes time with her grandson Braedon.
Katie, our senior dental assistant, started her education and training at CCRI. Already having been an Advanced Dental Care team member for six years, I look forward to the next six years, with her by my side. Katies advanced skills include construction of handcrafted temporary restorations and fitting of customized night guards. She also is a certified Zoom 2 technician, taking great pride and gratification in developing a whiter and brighter smile for our patients. Yes, Katie does have a life outside of our office! Camping and beach going are favorite activities with her husband Jamie, wonderful son Harrison, and daughter Hayden.
Diane, Registered Dental Hygienist, is unfortunately only able to spend one day a week with us. Both we and her patients would wish for more. The value of 20 years experience and caring is immediately sensed by all our patients.

I just returned from a visit at Advanced Dental Care. I had been a patient with the former dentist for 50 years so I was somewhat apprehensive as I didn't know what to expect. Well let me tell you that I was blown away! The new dentist, Dr. Mahmoundi, was so friendly and professional. I was impressed with the technological improvement that he has brought to that practice. I was able to actually see what his recommended course of treatment entailed. His staff: Tracey, Vanessa, Joanna, Martha and Christina were so courteous and helpful. When Dr. Carlsten retired from the practice I seriously thought about finding a dentist closer to my home. I am so glad that I gave Dr. Mahmoundi and his staff an opportunity to woo me to remain with Advanced Dental. Boy did they ever!!! I highly recommend the outstanding dental practice of Advanced Dental Care! You will not be disappointed.

I recently was seen here for the first time, I have crippling anxiety at the dentist. Everyone was so beyond kind and patient. The office felt homey. Clean. Comfortable. (Didn't smell like a dentist office!) it was such a positive experience.

Wow, GREAT dental practice. I chose this practice for my family as we recently moved to Providence, and I did so on the basis of positive patient reviews--and having now had our first appointments, we are thrilled with our choice. From top to bottom, we've really appreciated the staff's kindness, accessibility, thoroughness, insight and dedication. Our dental hygienists (Tracy and Crystal) are both INCREDIBLE--very knowledgeable, patient, great listeners, insightful, helpful, non-judgmental--everything you'd want to feel comfortable, secure and completely cared for. Dr Carlsten is present, generous and helpful and did not simply do that "breeze by" that some dentists do (that can make patients feel overlooked and barely considered). And from the moment you walk in, the office manager creates an attentive, friendly and comforting space. From securing appointments to thorough dental care, no corners cut, it's great dentistry all round. It's rare one looks forward to dental appointments, but I have to say that we do.

I've been coming to Advanced Dental Care for years. Love all of the sweet and friendly staff, Dr. Carlsten is great, and his nice dog even makes an occasional appearance. There's a very welcoming, family-like feeling here. It also seems like they've made all the right safety changes due to Covid-19, and I've felt safe coming here even during the pandemic.

This office is run like a well-oiled machine. Dr. Carlsten and his dental nurses do everything to ensure the patient's confidence and comfort as well as his hygienist and the entire office staff! From the time you walk in you feel welcome and cared for. I was a new patient there last year and I am so glad that this is my new dental home. If you are looking for one, look no further.

Dr. Carlston and his staff are simply the best in the business. I've been a patient for many years and had many procedures done due my own negligence in taking care of my teeth. Their work has always been flawless, and I truly appreciate all that they do.

I was warmly greeted and welcomed! Hygienest (Crystal) explained everything she did and we each shared events in our lives! Dentist (Roger) was positive and hopeful and had a plan for new developments in my oral hygiene and shared vacation plans!
