Avalon Dental is happy to recognize and accept the CDCP, or Canadian Dental Care Plan. If this program is something you or a loved one are interested in, we invite you to schedule a session with one of our dentists. They can answer any questions you might have.
What is the CDCP?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a federal dental insurance program that aims to help patients access the treatments they need financially. In other words, depending on the specific dental service and several other requirements, the CDCP will pay a certain portion of the cost.
Who is Eligible?
To qualify for this plan, you need to satisfy four requirements:
- You do not currently have any dental insurance coverage
- You have an adjusted family income of under $90,000
- For tax reasons, you’re a Canadian resident
- You filed your tax returns for the previous tax year
What Does Accessing the Program Look Like?
Submitting a CDCP application is simple, just follow these steps:
- To begin, check if you’re eligible. If so,you’ll need to send in your name, date of birth, and social insurance number (SIN). Other details may be needed, so be sure to check the official CDCP website.
- You’ll be sent an application code and guidelines on what to do next to continue with your application.
- Now, you’ll be able to apply. Once you do, you’ll receive details confirming how to get started and officially enroll in the program. The CDCP is partnered with Sun Life, the dental insuranceprovider, and your information will be sent to them.
After this is done, you’ll be able to get the care you need and have peace of mind knowing you have the coverage to do so.
Services That are Covered
A large range of general dental services are covered by the CDCP, including, but not limited to:
- Teeth cleanings
- X-rays
- Dental exams
- Cavity treatments
- Root canal therapy
- Tooth extractions
- Dentures
Before setting up an appointment, it’s always important to check if a specific treatment is indeed covered since some services may need to be pre-approved. Doing so will help you feel at ease and prepared, as well as ensuring the process goes smoothly.
