At Bayview Smile Centre, eligible dental treatments are billed directly through Sun Life, which administers claims for the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Before any treatment begins, we review your coverage and explain any potential co-payments or fee differences.
Patients covered by CDCP can receive preventive, restorative, and emergency dental services at our modern dental clinic located on Bayview Avenue in North York.
What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government initiative designed to help eligible Canadians access necessary dental care when they lack private dental insurance.
The program was introduced to improve access to oral healthcare and reduce financial barriers for individuals and families across Canada.
The CDCP is:
- funded by the Government of Canada
- administered through Service Canada
- managed by Sun Life for dental claims processing
Depending on household income, the program may cover part or sometimes all of the cost of certain dental treatments.
At Bayview Smile Centre, we welcome patients who are approved for CDCP coverage and submit claims directly to Sun Life for eligible services.
Our clinic follows the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) fee guide, which may differ from the CDCP reimbursement schedule. Because of this, patients may be responsible for:
- The required CDCP co-payment
- The difference between the CDCP reimbursement amount and the ODA fee
Before treatment begins, our team reviews estimated costs and explains your financial responsibility.
Who Is Eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
You may qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) if you meet the following conditions:
- You are a Canadian resident for tax purposes
- You have filed your most recent income tax return
- You do not have private dental insurance through work or personal coverage
- Your adjusted family net income is under $90,000
Eligibility is confirmed through the federal application process managed by Service Canada.
If you are unsure whether you meet the eligibility criteria, our team at Bayview Smile Centre can explain the requirements before you schedule an appointment.
CDCP Coverage Levels
Coverage under the Canadian Dental Care Plan depends on adjusted family net income.
| Adjusted Family Net Income | CDCP Coverage | Estimated Patient Co-Payment |
|---|---|---|
| Under $70,000 | Up to 100% | 0% |
| $70,000 – $79,999 | Up to 60% | 40% |
| $80,000 – $89,999 | Up to 40% | 60% |
Because Bayview Smile Centre follows the Ontario Dental Association fee guide, patients may still be responsible for:
- The CDCP co-payment
- The difference between CDCP reimbursement and the ODA fee guide
Before treatment begins, we review your benefits and clearly explain any expected costs.
What Dental Services Does the Canadian
Dental Care Plan Cover?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan generally covers essential dental services designed to maintain oral health and treat dental problems. Certain procedures may require pre-authorization before treatment can be completed. At Bayview Smile Centre, eligible CDCP patients may receive several types of dental services.
Preventive and Diagnostic Services
Preventive dental care focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and detecting oral health problems early.
These services may include:
- dental examinations
- routine check-ups
- professional cleanings
- dental X-rays
- fluoride treatments
- oral cancer screening
Preventive care helps reduce the risk of more complex dental treatments in the future.
Restorative Dental Services
If teeth are affected by decay or infection, CDCP may cover restorative treatments such as:
- tooth-coloured fillings
- root canal therapy when clinically necessary
- simple or surgical tooth extractions
- treatment for dental infections
Some treatments may require CDCP pre-authorization before approval.
Prosthodontic Services
Depending on clinical eligibility and CDCP approval, coverage may include:
- partial dentures
- complete dentures
- denture relines and repairs
- dental crowns when program criteria are met
Coverage depends on clinical necessity and CDCP program guidelines.
Emergency Dental Treatment
CDCP may also assist with urgent dental care when patients experience:
- severe tooth pain
- dental infections or swelling
- broken or fractured teeth
- dental trauma
If you experience a dental emergency in North York or the surrounding Toronto area, our team can assess your condition and recommend appropriate treatment.
What Is Not
Covered by CDCP?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan generally does not cover:
- Cosmetic dental treatments, such as teeth whitening
- Veneers, or aesthetic dental procedures
- Treatments not considered medically necessary
Before beginning treatment, our team explains what services are covered under CDCP and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
How Does CDCP Direct Billing Work?
Bayview Smile Centre offers direct billing to CDCP through Sun Life for eligible dental services.
This means:
- Patients do not need to submit insurance claims themselves
- Our clinic submits claims directly to Sun Life
- Coverage is verified before treatment begins
- patients receive a clear explanation of their portion
Because CDCP reimbursement may differ from the Ontario Dental Association fee guide, patients may still be responsible for:
- The CDCP co-payment
- The difference between CDCP coverage and the ODA fee
Any remaining balance is typically due at the time of the appointment.
What You Should Bring to Your CDCP Appointment
To help ensure a smooth appointment, please bring:
- Your CDCP card is issued by Sun Life
- A valid government-issued photo ID
- Any pre-authorization documents, if applicable
Our administrative team verifies your eligibility and confirms coverage before treatment begins.
Understanding Co-Payments and Fee Differences Under CDCP
Depending on your household income category, you may be responsible for part of the treatment cost.
Patients may need to pay:
- The CDCP co-payment
- The difference between CDCP reimbursement and the Ontario Dental Association fee guide
Before treatment begins, we provide a clear estimate so you understand all expected costs.
