CDCP dental care at Half Moon Dentistry.
Quality dental care should feel accessible, clear, and supportive. Half Moon Dentistry proudly welcomes patients covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan and our team is happy to help you understand your benefits before treatment begins.
What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan, also called the CDCP, is a Government of Canada dental benefit created to help make oral health care more affordable for eligible Canadian residents who do not have access to private dental insurance.
The plan helps cover many preventive, diagnostic, restorative, endodontic, prosthodontic, periodontal, and oral surgery services. Coverage is administered by Sun Life on behalf of the Government of Canada.
Who may qualify?
You may qualify for the CDCP if you meet the Government of Canada eligibility requirements.

Your adjusted family net income must be less than $90,000.

You must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes and have filed your tax return for the previous year.
