Insights You Need Regarding the Canadian Dental Care Plan

At Fraserview Dentist, we’re committed to ensuring that our patients have access to comprehensive, smile-saving dentistry. One of the ways we’re able to accomplish this goal is by being part of the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), which rolled out this year and aims to help Canadians affordably receive the oral health services they need.

Here are some important insights about this exciting program:

• The CDCP is designed to provide coverage for a range of essential dental services, including routine check-ups, cleanings, sealants, fillings, extractions, root canals, dentures, and more. The goal is to help patients prioritize preventive care and address dental issues early, thereby minimizing their risk for severe oral health challenges that can negatively impact their overall well-being and quality of life.
• While the plan will subsidize dental care costs for millions of Canadians, not everyone qualifies for coverage, and these services are not free. The CDCP covers them at the established CDCP fees, which are often not the same as the provincial and territorial oral health associations’ suggested fee guides used to charge for oral health services.
• Understanding the specifics of the plan, such as eligibility criteria, the extent of coverage, and which groups are currently able to receive care, is important. At Fraserview Dentist, we’re dedicated to helping patients navigate these details, and we encourage you to visit Canadian Dental Care Plan – Canada.ca to learn more about plan details. You can also reach out to our office with questions and our knowledgeable staff would be happy to help.
