Canadian Care Dental Plan (CDCP)
Orange Family Dental Welcomes CDCP Patients!
Orange Family Dental is proud to accept patients covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). This federal program helps eligible Canadians access necessary dental care at a more affordable cost.
We are pleased to offer both general dentistry and specialty endodontic care for CDCP-covered patients. Whether you are visiting us for a routine appointment or have been referred for specialty endodontic treatment, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
If you qualify for CDCP, we’ll help you understand your coverage and guide you through the process so you can get the care you need with clarity and confidence.
Who Can Apply for CDCP:
- You do not have access to private dental insurance through work, school, a pension plan, or a purchased policy
- Your adjusted family net income is under $90,000, based on your most recent tax return
- You are a Canadian resident for tax purposes
- You have filed your income tax return for the previous year
If you are already receiving dental benefits through another government program, you may still qualify. In most cases, the CDCP can coordinate with existing coverage to help ensure there are no gaps in care.
What Does the CDCP Cover?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan helps make many dental services more affordable. Coverage includes a wide range of preventive, basic, and some specialty treatments for eligible patients.
Services may include:
- Exams, X-rays, cleanings, fluoride, and sealants
- Fillings, root canal therapy, and other restorative care
- Periodontal treatment and pain management
- Tooth extractions, oral surgery, and sedation when needed
- Limited orthodontic services (for eligible patients)
Coverage varies based on clinical needs and income level. Some services may require pre-approval. Our team is here to help you understand your benefits before treatment begins.
