How CDCP Works

How The Canadian Dental Care Plan Works, Step By Step

CDCP is a federal program administered by Sun Life, not a private insurer, and how much it covers depends on your household's adjusted family net income. As a registered CDCP dentist in Edmonton, we confirm your income tier, bill Sun Life directly on your behalf, and explain any remaining balance before treatment begins, so using your benefit feels simple, not confusing.
  • No upfront payment for eligible care
  • Direct billing to Sun Life for you
  • Clear costs before treatment starts

      Rowan Robertson

      Patient

      I searched for a CDCP dentist near me and found a clinic that actually explains how CDCP works step by step. My CDCP dentist Edmonton appointment covered eligibility, coverage, and treatment costs before I sat in the chair. Refreshingly transparent experience.

      Logan Stewart

      Patient

      As a senior new to the Canadian Dental Care Plan, I didn't know where to start. This CDCP dentist in Edmonton confirmed my eligibility, explained my coverage tier, and handled the Sun Life billing directly. The whole process felt genuinely easy to follow.

      Avery Reid

      Patient

      I had no clue how CDCP actually worked before coming here. This CDCP dentist in Edmonton checked my income tier, told me exactly what I'd owe, and billed Sun Life directly, so all I paid was my co-payment. That's the kind of clarity I was looking for.

      Have Questions About How CDCP Works? We Can Help Explain

      Understanding how CDCP works in practice is different from simply knowing you're eligible. Below are the process questions we hear most from patients of our CDCP dentist in Edmonton clinic, covering billing, timing, and what actually happens at your appointment. If yours isn't listed, just ask us directly.
      From confirming your income tier to billing Sun Life directly, every step of using CDCP with our clinic is designed to be transparent and easy to follow. Our CDCP dentist Edmonton team walks you through each stage in plain language, so nothing about your coverage or cost ever feels uncertain, every single time.

      Approval timelines vary, but many applicants hear back within a few weeks after applying through their My Service Canada Account. Once approved, you can book with us immediately we'll confirm your coverage before your visit.

      Your CDCP tier is locked in based on your last tax return, not your current income. So a mid-year change won't touch your coverage right now, just keep it in mind for next year's reassessment.

      No referral needed at all. Once Sun Life approves your CDCP application, you can book straight in with any participating dentist, including us here in Edmonton. Just mention you're using CDCP when you call, and we'll sort out your coverage tier and what's eligible before you come in.

      This does happen, since CDCP publishes its own fee schedule which may not match every clinic's actual fees. If our fee for a service is higher than the CDCP-established fee, you're responsible for that difference in addition to your co-payment. We always disclose this gap before treatment so you can make an informed decision.
