Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) at Dentistry on Sinclair

At Dentistry on Sinclair, we’re committed to making dental care more accessible for everyone in our community. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal initiative designed to help eligible Canadians receive essential oral health care by reducing financial barriers.

This program supports individuals who do not have private dental coverage and whose annual household income is under $90,000. While the CDCP helps offset costs for many treatments, it is not a fully free dental care program—it contributes to a portion of the expenses.

Prosthodontics: Complete and partial dentures (removable)

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I eligible for CDCP?
Eligibility and registration are handled by the Government of Canada. Please call:
📞 1-833-537-4342 (TTY: 1-833-677-6262)
Or visit your local Service Canada office.

Will I need to pay anything?

Yes. Even if your CDCP coverage shows “100%”, this refers to the CDCP fee guide, which differs from the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) fee guide that our clinic follows. The difference must be paid out-of-pocket at the time of your appointment.
⚠️ Currently, we cannot retroactively adjust or refund any differences should government policies change in the future.

Can you tell me my exact costs before treatment?

Whenever possible, we’ll submit a pre-determination to Sun Life (the plan’s administrator) to help clarify what’s covered. In urgent situations—such as a dental emergency—we may need to proceed with care before receiving confirmation, and any uncovered costs will be the patient’s responsibility.
