Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
At City Centre Dentistry, we proudly welcome patients eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Our goal is to make quality dentistry accessible to more families in Mississauga.
What Is the Canadian
Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program designed to make preventive and restorative dental treatments more affordable for Canadians who don't have access to dental insurance.
Coverage levels vary depending on your household income, and certain services — such as cosmetic procedures and dental implants — are not included under the plan.
It's important to note that CDCP follows different guidelines than private insurance. The government may audit or reclaim payments if treatments do not meet program rules. Any uncovered costs are the patient's responsibility.
Preventive Care Covered
Exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and X-rays to keep your teeth and gums healthy — covered under the plan.
Reduced Out-of-Pocket Costs
Coverage levels vary by income, but CDCP significantly reduces how much you pay for essential dental services.
Restorative Treatments
Fillings, root canals, extractions, and dentures are among the restorative services included in the program.
Family Coverage
Eligible family members can each apply individually, helping your entire household access affordable dental care.
Government-Backed Program
CDCP is a federal initiative by the Government of Canada, designed to make dental care accessible to more Canadians.
Direct Billing Available
We process your CDCP benefits directly — no complicated paperwork or upfront payments beyond any co-pay.
Using Your CDCP Benefits at Our Clinic.
To use your CDCP benefits at our Mississauga dental office, please keep the following policies in mind to ensure a smooth and efficient experience at every visit.
Annual Card Submission
A valid CDCP card must be presented each year to confirm your coverage and ensure seamless treatment.
Card at Every Visit
Please bring your CDCP card to each appointment so we can verify and process your benefits.
Co-Payments
Because CDCP fees differ from the ODA fee guide, a co-pay is required at each visit. Payment is due the same day.
Missed Appointments
Two late cancellations (under 2 business days) or no-shows in a year may lead to dismissal from our CDCP program.
