Dental care is essential, but for many families, cost can be a barrier. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is changing that — and at Hamilton City Dental, we’re proud to be one of Hamilton’s trusted CDCP-approved clinics.
Our mission is simple: to make dental care affordable and stress-free for everyone. Whether you’re a senior, parent, or working adult, our Hamilton dental team helps you understand your eligibility, maximize your benefits, and receive the care you deserve.

The CDCP is a federal initiative that provides affordable access to basic dental services for eligible Canadians who don’t have private dental coverage. Depending on your household income, the program may cover a large portion — or even the full cost — of routine dental services.
At Hamilton City Dental, we’ve streamlined the process for CDCP patients. Our team helps with direct billing, coverage verification, and claims submission, so you can focus on your smile — not the paperwork.
As of 2025, the Canadian Dental Care Plan has expanded to include a wider range of patients across Ontario. You may qualify if you:
The program now includes adults aged 18–64, seniors, and children — meaning more Hamilton families can benefit from regular checkups and treatments.
Our CDCP dentist in Hamilton provides all the essential services eligible under the plan, including:
Coverage amounts vary based on your household income and service category, but our front desk team ensures you always know what’s included before treatment begins.
Our clinic is fully equipped to help patients get the most from their coverage. We offer:
Our goal is to make sure every Hamilton resident can maintain a bright, healthy smile — without financial worry.
Preventive dental care keeps small problems from becoming emergencies. With CDCP coverage, patients can visit regularly for cleanings, early cavity detection, and gum health checks — avoiding costly treatments in the future.
At Hamilton City Dental, we believe affordability and quality should go hand in hand. That’s why our CDCP services meet the same high standards of care as all our treatments — modern, comfortable, and patient-centered.
If you qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan, we’re ready to help you get started. Our Hamilton team will handle all coverage details and ensure your visit is smooth from start to finish.
