Use Your 2025 Dental Benefits Before They Expire | Hamilton City Dental’s Year-End Guide
A Legacy of Sunshine and Smiles
Hamilton City Dental has served the downtown Hamilton community since 1982, under the stewardship of Dr. David De Benetti—taking over from Dr. Solomon—and later expanding through mergers and relocations, most recently landing at 182 Jackson Street East in 2021

Meet Dr. Zaid Gabriel
Dr. Gabriel earned his DMD from the University of Manitoba in 2013 and combines this with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (international), a Master’s in Health Care Quality Improvement and Leadership (University of Helsinki), and a Master’s in Health Science in Bioethics (University of Toronto)—highlighting his dedication to both clinical excellence and ethical patient care
He is a proponent of preventive, conservative dentistry, and believes in empowering patients with knowledge, comfort, and choices. Outside the clinic, he lightens the atmosphere with humor, connects with his family—kids Maya and Mark—and even enjoys Latin dancing, when babysitters are available

The Patient Experience
From the moment you walk in, the team at Hamilton City Dental prioritizes your comfort. A typical cosmetic or restorative visit begins with a thoughtful consultation—discussing goals, reviewing options, and planning care that fits your lifestyle and budget. Dr. Gabriel and his team work together to make each step smooth and enjoyable.
As 2025 comes to an end, many Hamilton residents don’t realize their dental benefits reset on January 1, meaning any unused coverage disappears. At Hamilton City Dental, we encourage every patient to take advantage of their remaining benefits before the year resets.
Here’s what you need to know to avoid losing valuable care that you’ve already paid for.
⏳ 1. Most Dental Plans Are ‘Use It or Lose It’
If you have:
- Workplace dental insurance
- Private dental coverage
- CDCP eligibility
…then unused benefits typically do not roll over into the new year.
This means if you didn't schedule:
- Your second cleaning
- Your recall exam
- Recommended fillings
- X-rays
- Follow-up treatments
…these benefits may disappear on December 31.
💰 2. Preventive Appointments Are Usually Fully Covered
Most insurance plans cover:
- Dental exams
- Teeth cleanings
- Scaling
- Fluoride
- X-rays
This makes December the perfect time to complete your preventive care and reduce the risk of cavities in 2026.
🦷 3. Treat Issues Now to Avoid Bigger Problems Next Year
A small cavity today can become a crown, root canal, or extraction if left untreated. Using your 2025 benefits now helps you avoid:
- Higher out-of-pocket costs
- More complex treatments
- Pain or emergencies during the holidays
Your Hamilton dentist will always prioritize treatment that protects your long-term oral health.
🧾 4. CDCP Patients Should Also Book Before Year-End
If you qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan, December is a strategic time to:
- Complete preventive care
- Start restorative treatments
- Prepare for 2026 dental planning
Hamilton City Dental ensures CDCP patients receive full support, direct billing, and clear guidance on their coverage.
📅 5. December Appointments Fill Quickly
We always see a surge in bookings from late November to December. If you haven’t scheduled your year-end appointment yet, now is the time.
🌟 6. Begin 2026 With a Clean, Healthy Smile
Ending the year with a checkup sets you up for improved health, confidence, and lower dental costs in January and beyond.
