CDCP Dentist in Milton, ON

Do You Accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

Yes. We accept the CDCP, and our front desk team will walk you through what your coverage includes before any treatment starts, so there are no surprises. Families, children, seniors and first time patients are all welcome. Patients tell us what they value: one Google reviewer called it an "Absolutely wonderful experience with this dental group!"

Who Qualifies for the CDCP?

The CDCP is a federal program that helps eligible Canadians without private dental insurance. In general, you must:

• Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes
• Have filed your income tax return
• Have an adjusted family net income below $90,000
• Not have access to dental insurance through an employer, a pension, a school or a private plan

Seniors and children can be covered, and a parent or guardian applies for a child. Coverage must be renewed every year, which depends on filing your taxes. For full details, see the Government of Canada website at canada.ca/dental.

How Much Does the CDCP Pay?

The plan has no premiums or deductibles. What you pay depends on your adjusted family net income:

• Below $70,000: no co-payment
• $70,000 to $79,999: you pay a 40 percent co-payment
• $80,000 to $89,999: you pay a 60 percent co-payment

The plan pays at its own set fees. If a treatment costs more than the plan's fee, you may be responsible for the difference, which is why we explain the full cost before we start.

What Does the CDCP Cover?

The plan covers a defined list of services, which generally includes:

• Checkups, exams and cleanings
• X rays
• Fillings and some other restorative treatment, with some services needing pre-approval
• Root canal treatment
• Gum disease treatment
• Extractions and other oral surgery
• Dentures
• Emergency pain relief and injury care

Cosmetic treatments such as whitening and veneers, and services such as dental implants, are generally not covered. Because the list can change, we'll check what applies to you before booking treatment.

CDCP and Family Dentistry

Many families book back to back visits so everyone is seen in one trip. We care for toddlers, teens, adults and seniors, and our children's dentistry and family dentistry services work well for CDCP families. If part of your treatment isn't covered, interest free payment plans are available.

Seniors and the CDCP

Seniors without private dental insurance may qualify for the CDCP, and many of the services older patients need, such as exams, cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions and dentures, are on the plan's list. We'll check your coverage, explain what you'd pay and help you plan any treatment that isn't covered. New patients of every age are welcome.
