What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a Government of Canada program, and Sun Life administers it. The plan helps Canadian residents pay for dental care when their adjusted family net income is under $90,000 and they have no access to dental insurance. It began with seniors in 2024 and is now open to eligible residents of all ages.

Why Choose Us For CDCP Covered Care in Toronto?

Downtown Toronto Dentistry sees CDCP patients of all ages at 438 Adelaide St E. We bill Sun Life directly, so at your visit you pay only your co-payment and any difference in fees. Our clinic uses digital X-rays and an intraoral scanner for diagnosis and treatment planning. We are open Friday evenings and Saturdays for patients who cannot come in during the workday.
