Senior Dental Care in Mississauga
Gentle, patient dental care built around the specific needs of older adults, with direct Canadian Dental Care Plan billing for eligible seniors.
Oral health needs change with age, and so should your dental care. At Eglinton Oak Dental in Mississauga, our senior dental care is built around the realities older adults actually face: dry mouth from medications, root decay, worn or loosened restorations, denture fit changes, and navigating coverage through the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
Common Senior Dental Concerns We Treat
Dry Mouth
A common side effect of many medications that significantly raises cavity risk — we offer specific management strategies.
Root Decay & Sensitivity
Receding gums expose tooth roots to decay in ways that differ from typical cavities — caught and treated early.
Denture Fit & Comfort
Jawbone changes over time can loosen dentures — relines, repairs, and implant-supported options available.
Gum Disease
More common with age and linked to broader health conditions — regularly monitored and treated.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) for Seniors
CDCP was designed with seniors specifically in mind, and Eglinton Oak Dental is a registered provider — we bill Sun Life directly, so eligible seniors aren’t left navigating reimbursement paperwork. We confirm your eligibility and specific coverage before any treatment, and always explain any balance-billing amount clearly before work begins. See our full CDCP guide for eligibility details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept CDCP for seniors?
Yes, we’re a registered CDCP provider and bill Sun Life directly for eligible seniors, with your specific coverage confirmed before treatment.
Why do seniors need different dental care?
Age-related changes like dry mouth from medications, gum recession, and jawbone changes affecting denture fit all require a different approach than general adult dentistry.
Can dentures be adjusted if they’ve gotten loose?
Yes, relines and repairs can often restore fit and comfort without needing a completely new denture.
Is transportation or mobility an issue at your clinic?
Our clinic is designed to be easily accessible, and our team is happy to accommodate mobility needs — just let us know when booking.
What if I haven’t seen a dentist in a long time?
You’re not alone, and we don’t judge — we’ll start with a gentle, thorough exam and build a clear, prioritized plan from there.
