What is CDCP?

Launched in December 2023, the Canadian Dental Care Plan provides essential dental care coverage to Canadian residents with adjusted family net income below $90,000 annually and without private dental insurance. The CDCP covers a wide range of dental services including preventive care (cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments), basic procedures (fillings, extractions), and some major treatments (crowns, dentures) based on clinical necessity. At our Delta clinic, we work directly with Health Canada to process your CDCP benefits, ensuring you receive the maximum coverage available for your dental care needs.
