CDCP
At Bellesmere Dental.
The Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a new federal program that helps cover dental care for Canadians who don’t have private insurance. It’s designed to make preventive and basic dental services more accessible and affordable.
Helping You Understand Your Dental Coverage
Dental insurance plans can vary in the services they cover, the percentage they reimburse, and the amount available during each benefit year. Our administrative team can help review the information provided by your insurer and explain what may be covered before treatment begins.
While we are happy to assist with insurance submissions and coverage questions, the agreement remains between the patient and their insurance provider. Patients are responsible for any deductible, co-payment, limitation, or remaining balance not covered by their plan.
Direct Billing
Direct billing means our office submits an eligible dental insurance claim to the insurance provider on your behalf. This can help reduce the paperwork patients need to manage after an appointment.
Provide Your Information
Bring your current insurance details, policy information, and identification to your appointment.
We Submit the Claim
Our team submits eligible treatment information directly to participating insurance providers when available.
You Pay the Remaining Balance
Any deductible, co-payment, plan limitation, or uncovered amount remains the patient’s responsibility.
Important to Know
Direct billing does not mean the full cost of treatment will automatically be covered. Coverage depends on the terms and limitations of each patient’s individual plan.
Understanding CDCP Coverage
The Canada Dental Care Plan helps eligible Canadian residents access oral health care. Coverage levels and patient contributions may vary depending on eligibility, household income, applicable guidelines, and the treatment required.

No. Direct billing refers to how the claim is submitted. Your plan may cover only part of the treatment, and you may still have a co-payment, deductible, or uncovered balance.
Coverage depends on the patient’s eligibility, available benefits, treatment requirements, and applicable CDCP guidelines. Some procedures may require additional approval or may not be fully covered.
We can help review available benefit information and provide an estimate. Only the insurance provider or CDCP administrator can make the final coverage determination.
