Let Our Family Make Your Family Smile!

There’s a whole lot of smiling going on at Smith Family Dentistry, and we know you’ll be smiling too! Contact us to book an appointment today.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) represents an initiative by the federal government to dismantle financial obstacles hindering access to oral health care. This program is designed to extend coverage for dental expenses to Canadian residents lacking dental benefits.

CDCP is now open to all ages. For more information on how to apply click here.

If you are currently covered under the CDCP, you will need to renew your coverage starting June 1, 2026 in order to maintain coverage from 2026 and into 2027.

If you’ve already received your benefits card, call us to book your appointment!

A Tradition Built Across Generations

Our story begins with Dr. David’s family values.

Don’t expect to meet your average dental office...at Smith Family Dentistry, we’re a team that feels like one big family; and boy, does it show!

We first opened our doors in 1976, and have been serving the Niagara Region ever since - that’s a whole lot of healthy smiles! Located in a prime location within lovely downtown St. Catharines and now our brand-new location in Ridgeway, our team of dentists welcomes you to let our family make your family smile.

It hardly seems like work with how much smiling goes on around here.  We have lots of fun outside of patient time, too!

A Legacy of Caring

“Ethical care was never optional to me. That meant being honest. It meant respecting people’s hard‑earned money. It meant never recommending treatment that wasn’t truly needed.”

Founder, Dr. David Smith
