Introducing the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) at Cherry Blossom Dentistry
At Cherry Blossom Dentistry, we are dedicated to providing accessible and high-quality dental care to our community. We are thrilled to announce that we now accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a new government initiative designed to make essential dental services more affordable for Canadians.
What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program aimed at helping individuals and families who lack private dental insurance and meet certain income criteria. The plan provides financial assistance for a range of basic dental services, ensuring that more Canadians can maintain optimal oral health without the burden of excessive costs.
Who Currently Qualifies for the CDCP?
Eligibility for the CDCP is based on age, income, and access to private dental insurance. As of now, the program covers:
- Children under 12 years of age from families with an annual net income of less than $90,000.
- Seniors and youth under 18 years old, as the program expands to include more age groups.
- Individuals who do not have access to private dental insurance.
To determine if you or your family members qualify for the CDCP, please visit the official CDCP eligibility page for detailed information.
What Dental Services Are Covered?
The CDCP covers a variety of essential dental services, including:
Dental Examinations and Cleanings: Routine check-ups to maintain oral health.
X-rays: Diagnostic imaging to identify dental issues.
Fillings: Treatment for cavities and tooth decay.
Extractions: Removal of damaged or problematic teeth.
Root Canals: Treatment to save infected or damaged teeth.
Preventive Services: Fluoride treatments and sealants to prevent tooth decay.
Understanding Coverage and Patient Responsibility
While the CDCP provides substantial financial assistance, it does not cover the entire cost of some services. At Cherry Blossom Dentistry, we adhere to the Ontario Dental Association Fee Guide, which outlines standardized fees for dental procedures across the province.
- Cost Differences: There may be discrepancies between the CDCP’s coverage amounts and the fees listed in the Ontario Fee Guide.
- Patient Responsibility: Patients are responsible for paying any remaining balance not covered by the CDCP.
Our team is committed to transparency and will provide detailed estimates before any treatment begins, so you are fully aware of any out-of-pocket expenses.
