What to expect at your first dental visit under the CDCP

Starting dental care under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)? Great! Your first visit is all about getting to know your oral health needs, reviewing your CDCP coverage, and planning any necessary treatment.

Here’s what to expect:


🪪 1. Bring Your CDCP Card and ID

At your first appointment, bring:

  • Your CDCP dental card
  • A valid piece of government-issued ID

This helps us verify your eligibility and coverage level.


🦷 2. Full Dental Exam and X-rays

Your visit typically includes:

  • A full-mouth examination
  • Bitewing or panoramic X-rays
  • Review of your medical and dental history

These steps help identify any urgent or underlying issues.


📋 3. Coverage Review and Treatment Plan

We’ll explain:

  • Which procedures are covered under CDCP
  • Whether any co-pays apply based on your income
  • If pre-authorization is required for complex care (like dentures or root canals)

💬 4. Questions? We’re Here to Help

We’ll take time to answer any questions about CDCP, costs, and what to expect going forward.
