Frequently Asked Questions About CDCP
Will I have to pay anything out of pocket?
It depends on your adjusted family net income. The CDCP may cover 70%, 80%, or 100% of the eligible costs based on established fee guides. If your coverage is less than 100%, you will be responsible for the remaining co-payment portion. We always provide a clear estimate before starting any treatment.
Does the CDCP cover cosmetic dentistry like teeth whitening?
No. The CDCP is designed for essential oral health care. Purely cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening or veneers, are not covered under the plan.
I just received my CDCP card. How soon can I book an appointment?
You can book an appointment immediately, provided that your coverage start date (indicated in your welcome package from Sun Life) has already passed. Contact us today to schedule your visit.
Can you explain my CDCP benefits to me in Mandarin?
Yes, absolutely. Our Mandarin-speaking team is fully trained on the CDCP framework and can explain your coverage, co-payments, and treatment plans clearly in Chinese.
