Understanding the Canadian Dental Care Plan
The CDCP’s main objective is to provide the necessary dental care financing to eligible people and families in Canada. This plan ensures providing dental services for everyone, ensuring that there’s access to necessary oral health care for all people in Canada.
Once approved for the CDCP, patients at Westside Family Dental can access a wide range of dental services. These services include:
- Routine Dental Cleanings: Regular cleanings are important to stop cavities and gum disease.
- Fillings: Used to fix cavities and make teeth healthy again.
- Root Canal Therapy: A procedure to treat teeth that are infected.
- Extractions: Removing teeth that can’t be saved or are causing pain.
- Dentures: Full or partial sets of false teeth for people who have lost several teeth.
- Other Services: More treatments might be available but may need approval from the CDCP.
Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate your coverage and make the most of the benefits provided by the CDCP.
