The Dental Land Accepts CDCP — Here’s What That Means for Your Family

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is real money to help you pay for dental care, and we accept it. If you’ve been putting off dental visits because of cost, CDCP might change that. Here’s what you need to know — no jargon, no confusion.

We’re here to make it simple. Dr. Al Gertani’s team handles CDCP claims and paperwork so you don’t have to. You come in, we treat your teeth, and we file the paperwork. That’s it.

Do You Qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

CDCP is for Canadians who don’t have private dental coverage and whose household income is under $90,000 per year. Here’s the basic breakdown:

• You must be a Canadian resident with a valid SIN
• You must not have private dental coverage through an employer or spouse’s plan
• Your household income must be under $90,000 per year
• You must file your taxes — eligibility is determined through your tax return

Not sure if you qualify? Call us at (587) 864-4300 and we’ll help you figure it out.

What Does CDCP Cover at the Dentist?

CDCP covers the care you actually need:

• Cleanings and checkups
• X-rays and exams
• Fillings (cavities)
• Root canals
• Extractions (tooth removal)
• Gum treatment
• Dentures and partial dentures
• Crowns and bridges

The plan covers a significant portion of most treatments. The exact percentage depends on your household income — lower income means higher coverage. We can walk you through what your plan covers at your appointment.

How to Use Your CDCP Coverage at The Dental Land

1. Call and book an appointment — tell us you have CDCP coverage.
2. Bring your SIN and CDCP approval confirmation to your first visit.
3. We handle the billing and paperwork. You don’t file anything yourself.
4. We check your coverage before you sit down so there are no surprises.
5. You pay your portion at checkout. We submit the rest directly to CDCP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CDCP cover 100% of my dental costs?

No — the coverage percentage depends on your household income within the qualifying range. Most patients pay a portion at checkout. But even partial coverage makes a real difference, and we’ll tell you exactly what to expect before we start any treatment.

Can I use CDCP at any dentist?

Dentists need to be registered CDCP providers. The Dental Land is registered, so yes — your coverage works here.

How do I apply for CDCP?

You apply through Service Canada’s My Service Canada Account online. Have your most recent tax information ready. Once approved, you’ll receive your coverage details, which you’ll bring to your appointment.

What if I need work that CDCP doesn’t cover?

We’ll talk through your options honestly. CDCP doesn’t cover implants or cosmetic work, but it covers many alternatives. We’ll never push you toward treatment you don’t need or can’t afford.
