For Patients
CDCP dentist in Markham
We participate in the Canadian Dental Care Plan, so eligible patients receive care with benefits applied directly — and we handle the claims ourselves.
The CDCP exists to make dental care accessible to people who have gone without it, often for years. The administrative side should not be the reason it goes unused.
Our team verifies your eligibility, submits claims on your behalf, and explains what is covered before your appointment rather than after it.
How it works here
Tell us when you book
Let the team know you are a CDCP member when you make your appointment. That is the only thing we need from you to start.
We verify and submit
We confirm your eligibility and submit claims directly to the plan. You do not need to pay upfront and claim back.
We discuss anything beyond coverage
If your treatment plan includes anything the CDCP does not cover, we tell you the cost before proceeding — never after.
Commonly covered services
Exams & Cleanings
Regular checkups and professional cleaning — the preventive care that keeps larger problems from developing.
X-rays & Imaging
Digital imaging for diagnosis, using around 90 percent less radiation than traditional film.
Fillings
Restoring cavities before they progress to needing root canal treatment or extraction.
Extractions
Removal where a tooth genuinely cannot be saved.
Medically Necessary Treatment
Care required for your dental health rather than for appearance.
No unexpected costs
Our administrative team reviews individual eligibility and explains which services are covered before your appointment. The point is that nobody is surprised by a bill.
If part of a recommended plan falls outside coverage, we will say so, tell you what it costs, and let you decide — including deciding not to proceed.
Who the plan is for, and what you pay
The CDCP is open to Canadian residents who have no access to dental insurance and whose adjusted family net income is under $90,000. You apply to the federal government rather than to us. We are a participating provider, which means that once you have your card we bill the plan directly.
How much of a covered service the plan pays depends on that income figure.
| Adjusted family net income | Your share of a covered service |
|---|---|
| Under $70,000 | Nothing |
| $70,000 to $79,999 | 40% |
| $80,000 to $89,999 | 60% |
| $90,000 and over | Not eligible for the plan |
One thing worth understanding, because it does catch people out. The plan pays against its own fee schedule, and that is not always the same as a practice's fee. Where there is a gap, the difference is yours to pay even on a service the plan covers. We work that out and tell you the number before your appointment rather than after it, which is the whole reason we check eligibility first.
Missing a tooth?
The plan covers a great deal, but it does not cover dental implants — at any income tier. It does cover the examination, the x-rays and the removal of the tooth, which is more than most people realise. We have set out what is and is not claimable, and what your options are either way.
