Block users from creating Objects?

How can I block certain users(based on a condition) from creating certain objects? 

Ex. Block users who can create contacts from creating provider contacts.

Andrew are you talking about record creation or Object Creation?

If you are talking about record creation and permissions of creating record.

1) Create 2 profiles and give the permissions at the object that is desired and assign it to relevant users.



Thanks

Yes! I guess a better way to phrase it would've been - If a user has create permissions on Object A, how can we prevent them from creating certain record types of Object A.

You can use validation rule to prevent user from creating record. In your case, in the validation rule, check profile (or name) of the user and the record type.

For record types, I'd recommend using either profiles or permission sets to enable record types for your particular users.  If that's not "specialized" enough for your use case, then perhaps look at using validation rules, flow, or triggers in that order.
