At Waterdown Village Dentistry, we’re pleased to support patients who are eligible for CDCP coverage. This federal program is designed to help reduce financial barriers to essential oral health care for qualifying individuals and families.
If you’ve been approved for the plan, our team can help you understand how your coverage works and what to expect when visiting our general dentist in Waterdown. Our goal is to make the process clear, respectful, and easy to navigate from your first contact with our office.
The CDCP was developed to help bridge the gap for patients without private insurance, helping to cover a portion of the costs for eligible dental services. Administered by Health Canada through Sun Life, this initiative works alongside existing provincial programs to make essential oral health care more accessible and affordable for qualifying individuals
