​Coquitlam Centre Dental Clinic is proud to accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). This plan helps to make dental care more easily accessible to patients who need it most. The plan is designed for individuals and families without private dental coverage and whose annual household income is less than $90,000.

​

How does the CDCP Work?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan assists in covering the cost of necessary dental procedures. The portion you have to pay varies depending on your household income:

• Income below $70,000: You only pay the difference between the CDCP coverage and the standard dental fees.

• Income of $70,000 to $79,999: You pay 40% of your dental treatment cost.

• Income of $80,000-$89,999: You pay 60% of the cost of your oral care.

It should be noted that not all dental procedures are included in this coverage. Before starting any procedure, we recommend checking which services are included. The team at Coquitlam Centre Dental is happy to guide you through your benefits and answer any questions.

​

We accept the CDCP at Coquitlam Centre Dental!

Coquitlam Centre Dental welcomes patients under CDCP, children below the age of 18 years, and adults who are eligible, as well as seniors above the age of 65 years. We assist and provide dental care to children in need of normal check-ups and adults needing advanced dental services. Our aim is to offer good dental care to our patients at an inexpensive price.

Regular check-ups, teeth cleaning, cavity filling, tooth extraction, and other services are provided to meet your requirements for oral health. Dental procedures that are covered by CDCP are performed in our facility.

How do I apply?

To apply for the CDCP, you will need:

• Your Social Insurance Number (SIN) (if available)

• Full names and birthdates of all applicants

• Your home and mailing address

• Details of any other dental coverage you may have

• Your most recent Notice of Assessment (both you and your spouse must have filed taxes)

Having these details ready will make the application process faster and easier.

​

Who is eligible?

You may qualify for the CDCP if you are:

• A senior aged 65 or older

• A child under 18 years old

• An adult who qualified for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) in 2023

To be eligible, you must also:

• Have filed your taxes (both you and your spouse, if applicable)

• Have an annual household income below $90,000

• Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes

• Not have existing private insurance. This includes plans through your employer or school. 

Before applying, make sure you meet all the requirements. If you have any questions about CDCP eligibility, the application process, or how it works with Canadian dental insurance, our team at Dr. Ross Dental is happy to help!

​

What services are covered?

• Preventive (cleanings)

• Diagnostic (emergency exams and check-ups)

• Restorative (fillings and crowns)

• Endodontic (root canals)

• Oral surgery (extractions)

Some of these treatment require pre-approval which can take a few weeks. Don't worry - our team will help you through the process.

​

Can I use CDCP with other dental plans?

If you are enrolled in another government plan, then YES, they do work together. However, unfortunately, the CDCP does not work with any private plans. We actively encourage patients with long standing plans to keep their existing plans as the coverage is likely much better.

​

Can I change my dentist under CDCP?

Yes! You can choose any dentist in the CDCP network. If you wish to switch, simply check the CDCP directory to find another participating dentist.
