Overview

What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?


The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government program that helps eligible Canadians who don’t have access to private dental insurance pay for basic dental care.

At Tinto Dentistry, we are a registered CDCP provider. Want a full breakdown of how the program works? Read our full Toronto CDCP guide here. If you qualify, you can use your federal dental benefits right here at our St. Clair West clinic with no lengthy referral process and no surprise bills.

Our multilingual team (English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Tagalog) is here to make your visit as comfortable as possible, and we handle all CDCP billing directly with the government on your behalf.
