What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program designed to make dental care more accessible for Canadians who don’t currently have private dental coverage and whose household income is below a certain threshold.
As part of its goal to reduce financial barriers to oral health, CDCP includes coverage for removable prosthodontic services, including complete and partial dentures, denture repairs, relines, and more.
At Bespoke Denture Clinic, we’re proud to participate in the CDCP and help eligible patients receive high-quality dentures with reduced out-of-pocket costs.
