What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a government-supported initiative designed to make dental care more accessible and affordable for eligible Canadians. This program provides financial assistance to families and people who might otherwise face barriers to getting the dental treatments they need.
The CDCP covers a portion of the cost of dental exams, cleanings, and other services for qualifying Canadians.
When you visit us under the CDCP, you and your family will enjoy access to the full range of essential dental services covered by the plan. Whether it’s your first dental exam in years or a follow-up treatment, our goal is to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as we can.
We’re proud to be a participating dental clinic in the Canadian Dental Care Plan. We’re dedicated to providing you with compassionate, quality dental care in our welcoming environment.
