CDCP dentist in Richmond, BC

DTC Dental Treatment Center in Richmond accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and bills it directly. For a limited time, DTC is also covering the difference between CDCP fees and BC Dental Association (BCDA) fee guide rates on eligible treatments, so the gap that CDCP patients usually pay themselves is paid by the clinic. Restrictions apply and spots are limited, so call (604) 238-6666 to check whether your treatment qualifies.

What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government program that helps make oral health care more affordable for Canadian residents who don't have access to private dental insurance. Eligibility rules and coverage levels are set by the federal government, not by individual dental clinics, so the most reliable way to confirm whether you qualify is the official Government of Canada CDCP website.

Why CDCP patients often pay a gap

The CDCP pays dentists at its own set fees, and those fees are not always the same as what a clinic charges. When a clinic's fee is higher than the CDCP fee, the patient can be billed the difference on top of any co-payment.

DTC's fees follow the BCDA fee guide with no markup. During this promotion, DTC absorbs the space between that BCDA fee and the CDCP fee on eligible treatments.

The BC Dental Association (BCDA) publishes a standard fee guide for dental procedures across the province. DTC's no-markup policy applies to every patient, whether you're covered by CDCP, insured through a private plan, or paying out of pocket.
