Smile Point Dental in Oakville incorporates the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) into our practice, helping to bridge the gap for those without private dental insurance by providing essential services at a manageable cost, thereby promoting better dental health community-wide.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a collaboration between the Canadian government and Sun Life, was established in 2024 to provide dental care to Canadians, focusing on those with incomes less than $90,000. This plan ensures that essential dental services are accessible to those without benefits from employment or private insurance, starting with the weakest groups and expanding to the broader population.
