Dental Implants for Seniors in Hamilton Ontario — CDCP, OSDCP & Financing
Dental implants have no upper age limit. At Red Rose Dentistry in Downtown Hamilton, we regularly place implants for seniors in their 70s, 80s, and beyond. The key question is not age — it is adequate bone volume and overall health. Many seniors who struggled with loose dentures for years describe implant-supported dentures as life-changing. Free consultations available at 135 James St S.

Government Coverage for Seniors — OSDCP and CDCP
Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program (OSDCP): Free routine dental care for Ontario seniors 70+ with net income under $22,200 (single) or $37,100 (couple). OSDCP covers exams, cleanings, fillings, extractions — but not implants. Red Rose Dentistry accepts OSDCP.
Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP): Covers tooth extractions, bone grafts, and dentures for eligible seniors without private dental insurance with family income under $90,000. The implant post itself is not CDCP-covered, but the denture component of an implant-supported denture is.

Seniors Implant Consultation at Red Rose Dentistry
We review your medical history carefully — medications like bisphosphonates (for osteoporosis), blood thinners, and immunosuppressants are manageable considerations, not automatic disqualifiers. A CBCT 3D scan confirms available bone. You receive a written cost estimate and government coverage breakdown before any commitment.
