Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) Participating Dentist

What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a government-supported initiative designed to make dental care more accessible and affordable for eligible Canadians. This program provides financial assistance to families and people who might otherwise face barriers to getting the dental treatments they need.

The CDCP covers a portion of the cost of dental exams, cleanings, and other services for qualifying Canadians.

When you visit us under the CDCP, you and your family will enjoy access to the full range of essential dental services covered by the plan. Whether it’s your first dental exam in years or a follow-up treatment, our goal is to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as we can.

We’re proud to be a participating dental clinic in the Canadian Dental Care Plan. We’re dedicated to providing you with compassionate, quality dental care in our welcoming environment.

Additional details on covered services can be found on the government’s CDCP website, or feel free to reach out to our team for more information.

How Much Do Dental Services Cost Under the CDCP?

The CDCP reimburses your dentist for a portion of the cost of your treatment. We can discuss the estimated cost of your dental treatment before your appointment.

You may need to pay a portion of the fee, depending on your family income and the fee for the service, as follows:

Under $70,000: CDCP will cover 100% of the cost at the established fee.
Between $70,000 and $79,999: CDCP will cover 60% of eligible costs, and you will cover 40%.
Between $80,000 and $89,999: CDCP will cover 40% of eligible costs, and you will cover 60%.

The cost covered by the CDCP fees may not be the same as what we charge. You may have to pay fees in addition to the potential co-payment if:

You and your dentist agree to services that the CDCP doesn’t cover, such as teeth whitening

The cost of your services is more than what the CDCP will reimburse
