Accepting Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)

We are excited to announce that Lormel Gate Dentistry is now accepting the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a Government of Canada initiative to make dental care more affordable for those in need and without existing dental insurance.

What is CDCP?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government program that is intended to provide coverage for Canadian residents in need who do not have dental benefits or other means to afford the Dental services and have a household income of less than $90,000 a year.



Are you Eligible?

To qualify, you need to meet 4 requirements:
  • You don't have access to dental insurance
  • Your adjusted family net income is less than $90,000
  • You're a Canadian resident for tax purposes
  • You filed your tax return for the previous year

If you have dental coverage through a provincial, territorial or federal government social program, you can still qualify for the CDCP. If you qualify, your coverage will be coordinated between the plans to make sure there are no duplication or gaps in coverage.

You can also check your eligibility on Canada Government website below or contact its helpline at 1-833-537-4342 between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. local time, Monday to Friday.
