Frequently Asked Questions

Common follow-up questions about the Canadian Dental Care Plan and covering the cost of your care.

Not free — but more affordable than it used to be. Right now there is no free access to dental care in Canada. However, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) was created to help cover a significant portion of dental costs for seniors, children, and adults who don't have insurance. At Bright White in Riverview, we accept the CDCP and bill directly, so eligible patients pay little to nothing out of pocket for covered services.

The CDCP is a federal program that helps break down the costs of dental care. It gives access to seniors, children, and adults of all ages who don't have insurance or don't qualify for insurance through work. Coverage applies to essential services like cleanings, exams, and preventive care — exactly the services a dental hygiene clinic provides.

The CDCP is aimed at Canadians without access to private dental insurance — seniors, children, and adults of all ages. Eligibility is based on family income and other criteria set by the federal government. If you're unsure whether you qualify, call us at (506) 871-5868 and we'll walk you through it.
