Canadian Dental Care Plan

The CDCP is a groundbreaking initiative designed to make dental care more accessible and affordable for eligible Canadians. If your family’s annual income is less than $90,000 and you lack dental insurance, this program could provide you with the coverage you need to maintain oral health.

If you think you may qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan, visit the link below canada.ca/dental and learn about how the plain works, who qualifies and how to apply. Our patients have told us that the application process is very easy. You can apply online, visit a Service Canada location or call their dedicated phone number. 

The Canada Dental Plan does NOT cover all recommended procedures. We can assist you with determining what coverage you have for any procedures. However, please be aware that your health needs are not dependent on your coverage.

Our office will submit your treatment claim electronically to Sun Life for direct payment to our office. There are 3 levels of coverage: 100%, 60% and 40%. If you do not have full 100% coverage, you will pay the difference as your treatment is billed. It is your responsibility to inform us if you have had treatment at another dental office using CDCP as there are limitations on how often a particular procedure can be performed. If you have exceeded this limitation, you may have to pay for your treatment. We will do our best to pre-estimate for you if you think you may not be covered.

Individuals eligible for ODSP or HSO now qualify for the new Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP), which we do accept. You must apply for the CDCP to receive coverage. Please remember to submit your Income Taxes to the CRA annually and on time in order to avoid an interruption of your coverage thru CDCP.

Will CDCP pay for dentures?

FULL DENTURES

Full dentures do not need to be pre-approved by SunLife CDCP as long as you have not already had these type of dentures already made and paid for by the plan.

PARTIAL DENTURES

If you require partial dentures, an estimate has to be sent to the CDCP plan. They will review the documentation we send and apply a set of criteria to determine if you are eligible.
