Canadian Dental Care Plan
the
At Papefinch Dental, we believe oral health is essential to overall well-being.
Regular dental visits are key to maintaining it, and we understand that financial barriers should never stand in the way of receiving necessary care.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a new federal initiative, is making dental care more affordable for many Canadians. We’re proud to support this program and accept CDCP coverage for senior dental care.
For any questions about the CDCP, feel free to contact us at 1-833-537-4342.
UNDERSTANDING THE CANADIAN DENTAL CARE PLAN (CDCP)
​
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is helping make the cost of dental care more affordable for eligible Canadian residents.
Despite the importance of dental health, many Canadians face financial barriers that prevent them from accessing essential dental treatments. While some have private dental insurance through work or personal plans, many must pay out-of-pocket, making care inaccessible for a significant portion of the population.
​​
THE CDCP INITIATIVE
​
The CDCP is designed to reduce the financial burden of dental care and covers a wide range of services, including:
-
Preventive care – Cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants
-
Diagnostic services – X-rays and oral exams
-
Restorative treatments – Fillings, root canals, and more
-
Prosthodontic services – Complete and partial removable dentures
-
Oral surgery – Tooth extractions and other surgical procedures
