CDCP, without the homework
We're a registered Canadian Dental Care Plan provider — and we handle the billing directly. Here's how the plan works and how to use it here.
What the plan covers
The CDCP is the federal program helping Canadians without private dental insurance afford care. It covers preventive visits (exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride), fillings, root canals, extractions, gum treatment, and dentures — the core of real-world dentistry.
As a registered provider, we bill Sun Life directly for covered services. Depending on your income bracket, the plan pays some or all of the cost — and we always confirm your coverage and any co-payment before treatment begins.
- Preventive care: exams, cleanings, X-rays

CDCP questions we hear daily
Will I pay anything out of pocket?+
It depends on your income bracket: many patients pay nothing for covered services, while others have a co-payment percentage. We check your exact coverage before treatment and tell you the number upfront.
Does CDCP cover cleanings and checkups?+
Yes — preventive care is a core covered category, including exams, X-rays, cleanings, and fluoride at standard intervals.
What if I need something the plan doesn't cover?+
We'll tell you before anything happens, quote the Fee Guide price, and discuss alternatives. Nothing outside your coverage is ever started without your explicit go-ahead.
Can seniors and kids use CDCP here?+
Absolutely — the plan spans eligible children, adults, and seniors, and we welcome CDCP patients of every age.
