What if I'm unsure what my insurance covers?
No problem! Our front desk team is happy to help review your dental benefits and provide a clear explanation of your coverage before treatment begins.
Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
The CDCP is a federal dental program designed to help eligible Canadians access affordable dental care if they do not have private dental insurance and meet certain income requirements.
Am I eligible for CDCP coverage?
You may qualify if you:
- Do not have private dental insurance
- Are a Canadian resident for tax purposes
- Have filed your taxes
- Have a household income under $90,000 annually
Contact our office and we'll be happy to help you determine your eligibility.
What services are covered under the CDCP?
The CDCP may cover services such as exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, root canal therapy, dentures, and more. Certain treatments may require preauthorization or approval.
