CDCP

Information about the federal dental benefit program and how our office can help you navigate questions.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is designed to help eligible Canadians access dental care. Eligibility, covered services, and copayments are determined by the government and may change.

We recommend confirming your eligibility through official Government of Canada channels before your visit. Bring your program details and identification to your appointment so we can assist with coordination.

If you have questions about whether a procedure may be covered, ask our administrative team. We will help you understand what information to verify with the program.

Our goal is to make the office side of the process easier to navigate while keeping expectations clear about what is determined by the plan itself and what must be confirmed through official sources.

Clear preparation before the appointment helps avoid confusion and makes it easier for our team to support you efficiently once you arrive.

Before your appointment

Bring any program details, confirmation letters, and government-issued identification to help our front desk assist you.

If you are unsure whether a service is covered, contact the program directly first, then our office can help coordinate your visit.

Helpful context before you visit

Does eligibility come from your office?

No. Eligibility, benefit rules, and plan updates are determined by the Government of Canada. Our team can help with appointment coordination, but program approval does not come from the practice.

Should I confirm coverage before booking?

Yes. It is helpful to verify your eligibility and understand any limitations before your appointment so there are fewer surprises when planning care.

Can our team still help if you have questions?

Absolutely. We can explain what information is useful to bring, how to prepare for your visit, and what questions may be best directed to the program itself.
