At Dentist at False Creek, we keep things simple and clear. This page explains the Canadian Dental Care Plan in plain language so you can book your visit with confidence and know what to expect at each step. If you’re searching for a CDCP accepting dentistry near me, you’ve found a welcoming clinic here at False Creek.
What is the CDCP?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program that helps eligible Canadians access essential oral health care. It supports preventive visits and the treatment your oral health provider recommends. You choose a participating clinic, agree on a plan, and bring your approval details to your appointment.
Who is eligible?
In general, you must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes, have filed the most recent tax return (you and your spouse or partner, if applicable), and not have access to private dental insurance through work, school, a group plan, or a plan you purchased yourself. If anything is unclear, we’ll help you check the latest guidance before you book. Our dentist will explain dental treatment under CDHP in everyday terms and make sure your care plan matches your health history and goals.
