CDCP Dentist in Rexdale

Affordable Dental Care Through the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)

Getting the dental care you need shouldn’t be out of reach. At Tridont Dental in Rexdale, we are proud to be a participating provider in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). If you qualify, this can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs for many essential dental treatments — exams, cleanings, fillings, X-rays, and more. We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality dental care, regardless of insurance status.

What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a recently introduced federal program aimed at helping Canadians without private dental insurance afford basic and restorative oral health care.
Key features:

Eligibility is for those who do not have private dental insurance.
Your adjusted family net income must be under $90,000/year.
Depending on your income band, you may pay a co-payment for some services. For example:
• Under ~$70,000 = little to no co-payment in many cases
• $70,000-$79,999 = ~40% co-payment in many cases
• $80,000-$89,999 = ~60% co-payment.
Some services under the CDCP need pre-authorization before treatment begins.

Services Covered Under CDCP at Tridont Dental

As a CDCP-participating clinic, Tridont Dental can provide many essential dental treatments with reduced cost or, in some cases, fully covered under the plan. These include:

Preventive services (exams, cleanings / scaling, fluoride)
Diagnostic services (X-rays)
Restorative treatments (fillings, certain repairs)
Tooth extractions when necessary
Root canal therapy for eligible teeth
Some denture services and partial prosthetics if needed and if preauthorized under CDCP rules

(Note: Cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening or veneers are generally not covered through CDCP. Also, some treatments may require you to contribute a portion if they exceed what CDCP fees allow.)

Who Can Benefit — Are You Eligible?

You may qualify for CDCP dental coverage at Tridont Dental if:

You are a Canadian resident for tax purposes.
You have filed your tax return for the previous year.
You do not have private dental insurance.
Your household/family adjusted net income is under $90,000/year.
You meet any additional provincial or age/disability criteria as established under CDCP rollout.

How the Process Works at Tridont Dental

Here’s what to expect if you come to us as a CDCP patient:

Check Eligibility — Bring proof of your eligibility (e.g., your CDCP approval letter / card, income information). We can help you understand the eligibility if you’re unsure.
Confirm Covered Services — Before any treatment, we will review what portion will be covered by CDCP, which services require preauthorization, and any co-payments or fees not covered.
Treatment Planning — Based on your dental needs (e.g. exam, cleaning, fillings, extractions), we’ll propose a treatment plan that aligns with safe, effective care and your budget under CDCP.
Care at Our Clinic — You’ll receive the dental services at Tridont Dental just as any other patient, but billing will be done in accordance with CDCP fee schedules and rules. If required, we will help manage paperwork and claims with Sun Life / Government.
Follow-Up & Maintenance — Even with CDCP, maintaining oral health with regular check-ups, cleanings, and preventive care is essential to avoid more costly problems in the future.

Things to Know Before Your Appointment

CDCP does not cover all dental treatments. Some “cosmetic” procedures are excluded.
CDCP sets maximum fees for eligible treatments; if your clinic’s regular fees are higher for some treatments, you may pay extra for the difference.
For some procedures, pre-authorization is necessary; there may be delays if paperwork needs to be approved prior to treatment.
Income verification and CDCP enrollment are necessary — so bring required documents.
