We Accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), Click here to learn more
Getting proper dental care is important for your overall health. That’s why the government introduced the Canadian Dental Care Plan in Airdrie (CDCP) — to help more people access the care they need without worrying about high costs. This is a government program that helps eligible Canadians get dental treatment without worrying too much about the dental cost. At South Point Dental, we’re here to help you understand and benefit from this plan.
Once you apply and are approved for the CDCP, you can get access to many dental services. These include:
The CDCP covers a range of dental services, including:
Some treatments may have limits or need special approval. For example, crowns may be covered only in certain cases. The government also plans to include orthodontic care (like braces) in the future, but it’s not available yet. We will help you check what’s covered before any treatment starts.
To qualify for the CDCP, you need to meet some rules. Here’s what you need:
Approval Time: After you apply, it may take around three months to get approved. We suggest starting early to avoid delays.
Government Support: This plan helps Canadians get needed dental care without high out-of-pocket costs.
Coverage Levels: The amount of coverage you get depends on your family income.
There are many great things about the CDCP. Once you’re approved, you can:
Get dental care even if you don’t have insurance.
Avoid high dental costs.
Focus on prevention instead of waiting for problems to get worse.
Take better care of your teeth and gums.
Save money for your family.

| $70,000 – $79,999 | 60% of approved dental costs | 40% plus any extra charges |
| $80,000 – $89,999 | 40% of approved dental costs | 60% plus any extra charges |
Services like cleanings are often covered twice a year. Full-mouth X-rays are only covered once every few years because they are meant to check your overall oral health and are not needed at every dental visit. Exams are also covered once or twice a year.
