At McArthur Dental Centre we want to help ease financial barriers to accessing oral health care for eligible Canadian residents. You may qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). See more information below.
Those who will be eligible for the program will need to fit the following criteria:
The Government of Canada is doing a phased rollout of the plan, meaning that people are able to submit applications for enrolment in the program in different groups:
Plan members will receive a package which will include a benefits card. This package will also include the members start date with the program – this start date will vary based on enrolment/acceptance date and any treatment completed prior to the start date will not be reimbursed by the program. The earliest start date will be May 2024.
Most dental services will be covered under the plan – basic services, endodontics, periodontics, restorative treatment, major treatments, and oral surgery. Any treatments that require prior approval will not be eligible until November 2024, which is when the pre-determination service will launch. Orthodontics are NOT a covered benefit at this time – the program will be rolling out an orthodontic program in 2025, however this will only be an approved benefit for those with a medical necessity.
