Your Mississauga CDCP dentist, accepting new patients
Sauga Smiles Dental is an approved provider under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), helping eligible patients of all ages access care without paying the full cost upfront.
Coverage rolled out by age, not all at once
CDCP was introduced in stages rather than opening to every eligible Canadian on the same day. If you checked eligibility a year or two ago and were told your group was not covered yet, it is worth checking again now.
Am I eligible for CDCP coverage?
You may be eligible for CDCP if your household income is under $90,000, you filed a tax return for the previous year, you are a Canadian resident for tax purposes, and you do not have access to existing private dental insurance. Sauga Smiles Dental can help confirm your specific eligibility when you call 905-277-1560.
What treatments does CDCP cover?
The specific amount covered for each category depends on your individual plan and the treatment involved. The front desk at Sauga Smiles Dental can walk through what applies to your situation.

How does Sauga Smiles Dental help with CDCP?
