Canadian Dental Care Plan for Dental Hygiene Care

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) helps Canadian residents without dental insurance pay for oral health care. Yours Dental Hygiene is a registered Canadian Dental Care Plan Provider Edmonton, which means eligible members can book a cleaning with us, show their CDCP card, and have us submit the claim to Sun Life directly.

Registered dental hygienists are recognized CDCP providers. You do not need to see a dentist first to use your coverage for preventive care.

What CDCP Covers Here

Preventive Hygiene Care Under the Plan

The Canadian dental care plan covers most of what a dental hygiene clinic provides. Depending on your family income, the plan pays 100%, 60% or 40% of the CDCP fee, and you pay the rest at the visit.

Cosmetic services such as teeth whitening are not covered. Some services need pre-authorization, and we handle that for you.

CDCP Eligibility at a Glance

You may qualify for the CDCP if you are a Canadian resident, have filed your tax return, have an adjusted family net income under $90,000, and do not have access to dental insurance through an employer, pension or private plan.

Enrolment is done through Service Canada, not through us, but we are happy to walk you through it over the phone.

Bring these to your first CDCP appointment so we can bill directly:

If you are not sure whether your coverage has started, call us and we can check your enrolment status with Sun Life before you come in.

How Your Co-Payment Is Set

The plan sets your share based on adjusted family net income from your most recent tax return:

Under $70,000: plan pays 100% of the CDCP fee

$70,000 to $79,999: plan pays 60%

$80,000 to $89,999: plan pays 40%

Provider fees above the CDCP fee may be charged

Coverage renews each year when you re-apply

We tell you your exact co-payment before treatment starts, so there are no surprises at the desk.

Ready to Use Your CDCP Coverage?

Book with us if:

You have received your CDCP card or letter
It has been six months or more since your last cleaning
Your gums bleed or you have visible tartar
You have never used the plan and want help understanding it
You want a clinic open evenings and weekends

Yours Dental Hygiene has helped many CDCP members in Edmonton get their first professional cleaning in years. There is no judgement, just a clean start.

Do I pay anything at the visit?

If your income band is 100%, usually nothing for covered services. If it is 60% or 40%, you pay your share on the day. We confirm the amount before we start.

Can I use the CDCP at a hygienist instead of a dentist?

Yes. Independent dental hygienists are CDCP providers for preventive services. If you need a filling or other dental treatment, we refer you to a dentist who also accepts the plan.

How do I apply?

Apply online through the Government of Canada CDCP page or by phone through Service Canada. You will need your tax return filed and your Social Insurance Number.

CDCP Care with Convenient Evening and Weekend Hours

We are open 9am to 9pm every day at 5145 55 Ave NW, off Whitemud Drive at 50 Street, with free parking. Many CDCP members come in the evening or on weekends.

Reviews

"My wife and I recently visited Yours Dental Hygiene and had a great experience! A special thank you to Eimee—she was exceptionally thorough, gentle, and professional throughout our appointments. The clinic itself is spotless, welcoming, and very well-run. Eimee took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we were completely comfortable. Highly recommend this clinic."

"I visited this clinic based on a recommendation from a family friend. Booking an appointment was very easy, and I was able to find a time that fit perfectly with my work schedule. I initially went in for a basic dental cleaning and ended up getting a few sealants done as well. The results were a huge improvement, and I was far more satisfied than I had expected. The staff were friendly and highly professional, making the whole experience even better. I would confidently recommend this clinic to anyone."

"Clinic was great and staff was very kind and accomodating. Eimee,cleans very deely and it was amazing.She did a very good job same thing with the Dr. I love it! Me and my husband had a very wonderful experience with this clinic. We will truly bring our kids here soon.Best recomended dental clinic. "

Frequently Asked Questions About Canadian Dental Care Plan Provider Edmonton

Is Yours Dental Hygiene a CDCP provider?

Yes. We are registered with Sun Life as a CDCP provider and bill the plan directly for covered services.

What if my coverage has not started yet?

Coverage starts on the date shown in your welcome letter. Treatment before that date is not covered, so we will book you for after your start date.

Does CDCP cover teeth whitening?

No. Whitening and other cosmetic services are not covered. Cleaning, scaling, fluoride, sealants, X-rays and exams are.

How often can I get a cleaning under CDCP?

The plan covers preventive cleanings with frequency limits set by the plan and scaling units per year. If you need more than the limit because of gum disease, pre-authorization may be possible.

Do seniors qualify?

Seniors were the first group enrolled and make up a large share of our CDCP patients. If you are 65 or older without private insurance, you very likely qualify.

Can children use the CDCP at your clinic?

Yes. Children under 18 are eligible if their family qualifies, and we provide cleanings, fluoride and sealants for kids.

What is the difference between CDCP and Alberta seniors dental benefits?

The Alberta Dental Assistance for Seniors program is a provincial benefit; the CDCP is federal. If you have provincial coverage, the CDCP coordinates with it. Bring both cards and we sort out the billing.

Do I need to book differently?

No. Book as usual and mention CDCP. We check eligibility before your visit so the appointment runs smoothly.

What if I also have some private insurance?

If you have access to employer or private dental insurance, you are not eligible for the CDCP. Provincial or territorial programs do not count against eligibility.

What happens if a filling is needed?

We do not do fillings. We tell you what we found and refer you to a dentist who accepts the CDCP, so your coverage continues there.
