Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) in Thornhill

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a national program introduced by the Government of Canada to help make essential dental services more affordable and accessible for Canadians. Its main goal is to ensure that everyone—especially those without private dental insurance—can maintain good oral health through regular, preventive, and restorative dental care.

Through the CDCP, eligible patients can receive partial or full coverage for common dental services such as examinations, cleanings, fillings, root canals, dentures, and emergency care. The plan is administered by Sun Life, and coverage amounts may vary depending on the type of service and your household income level.

Our friendly team will assist you with verifying eligibility, explaining what services are covered, and submitting claims through direct billing, so you can focus on your smile instead of the paperwork.
