Canadian Dental Care Plan

Services

Welcome to a new era in oral healthcare at Sapphire Dental Centre, where your smile is our passion. We’re proud to support the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) , a revolutionary initiative introduced by the Canadian government to help eligible Canadians receive the dental care they deserve.

Our clinic is committed to making dental care stress-free and budget-friendly while maintaining the highest standard of service. Whether you need routine cleanings, cavity treatments, or specialized dental procedures, the CDCP helps ensure you and your loved ones can maintain optimal oral health—without the financial burden.

What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a federal program launched to provide dental coverage to eligible Canadians who do not have private dental insurance and fall below a specific household income threshold. This groundbreaking initiative helps individuals and families receive essential dental care while reducing out-of-pocket costs.

The program is being rolled out in phases, beginning with seniors and expanding to include other age groups and eligible Canadians throughout 2024 and 2025.
