How to Use Your CDCP Benefits at Your Dental Appointment in Castlemore
If you’re covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan, using your benefits at your dental appointment is simple. Make sure your CDCP coverage is active, bring your CDCP member card or eligibility letter along with a valid photo ID, and visit a dental clinic that participates in the program. Dental Square proudly accepts CDCP patients in Castlemore and submits eligible claims directly to Sun Life. Depending on your adjusted family net income, you may have little to no out-of-pocket costs for covered dental services.
Many patients know they qualify for the CDCP but aren’t sure what happens once they arrive at the dental clinic. Understanding the process beforehand can help make your appointment smooth and stress-free. Here’s everything you need to know before your visit.
Confirm Your CDCP Coverage Before Booking
Before booking your appointment, confirm that your CDCP benefits are active. Coverage must be renewed when required, and an inactive plan may result in you paying for treatment yourself.
You can verify your coverage by:
- Checking your Sun Life account
- Reviewing your CDCP eligibility letter
- Contacting Sun Life or the CDCP support line
Confirming your eligibility before your appointment helps avoid delays and unexpected costs.
Visit a CDCP-Participating Dentist in Castlemore
Not every dental clinic participates in the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Choosing a participating provider ensures your eligible services can be billed directly through the program.
Our team submits eligible claims directly to Sun Life, making the process easier and reducing the paperwork you need to complete.
If you’re unsure whether a clinic accepts CDCP, it’s always best to ask before scheduling your appointment.
Understand Your CDCP Co-Payment
The Canadian Dental Care Plan helps reduce dental costs, but it does not always pay 100% of every treatment. Your share of the cost depends on your adjusted family net income.
Adjusted Family Net Income | Your Share of Eligible Costs |
Less than $70,000 | 0% co-payment |
$70,000 to $79,999 | Up to 40% co-payment |
$80,000 to $89,999 | Up to 60% co-payment |
For example, if an eligible treatment costs $500 and your co-payment is 40%, you may pay up to $200, while the CDCP covers the remaining eligible amount according to the program guidelines.
Before starting any treatment, our team will explain any estimated costs so you know what to expect.
Which Dental Services Are Covered?
The CDCP covers many preventive and restorative dental treatments, including:
- Dental exams
- Professional teeth cleanings
- Digital X-rays
- Fillings
- Root canal treatment
- Tooth extractions
- Preventive care for maintaining oral health

- Crowns

- Some periodontal treatments
- Certain oral surgeries
- Other major restorative procedures
If your treatment requires preauthorization, our dental team will prepare and submit the necessary documentation on your behalf before your procedure is scheduled.
What Should You Bring to Your Appointment?
To make your appointment as smooth as possible, bring:
- Your CDCP member card or eligibility letter
- A valid government-issued photo ID

Having these documents available allows us to confirm your eligibility, determine your co-payment, and process your claim efficiently.
