Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) — Free and Reduced-Cost Dental Care in Hamilton
The CDCP is Canada’s national dental care program for Canadians without private dental insurance and with family income under $90,000/year. Red Rose Dentistry is a CDCP participating provider — we bill Sun Life (the plan administrator) directly.
| Income | Coverage | Your Out-of-Pocket |
|---|---|---|
| Under $70,000 | 100% of eligible fees | $0 |
| $70,000–$79,999 | 60% | 40% co-pay |
| $80,000–$89,999 | 40% | 60% co-pay |
CDCP covers exams, X-rays, cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, dentures, crowns, and gum treatment. It does not cover orthodontics, dental implants, or cosmetic procedures.
Enroll at canada.ca/dental or call Service Canada at 1-833-537-4342. Processing takes 2–4 weeks. Once enrolled, call us with your Sun Life member number and we handle the rest.
Private and Employer Dental Insurance — What We Accept
We direct-bill all major insurance carriers including Sun Life, Great-West Life (Canada Life), Blue Cross, Manulife, Desjardins, and others. You do not pay your full fee and wait for reimbursement — we submit the claim at the appointment and you pay only any balance not covered by your plan.
Before your appointment, we can verify your coverage and tell you approximately what your out-of-pocket cost will be. This eliminates surprises at checkout.
Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program
Seniors aged 70+ who meet income thresholds may also qualify for the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program (OSDCP), which provides free routine dental care. Eligibility: single person with net income under $22,200, or couple with net income under $37,100. Apply through ontario.ca/seniordental. Red Rose Dentistry accepts OSDCP.
OHIP+ Coverage for Under-25 Patients
Patients under 25 without private dental insurance are eligible for OHIP+ drug coverage (for any prescribed medications including antibiotics after dental procedures) but OHIP does not cover dental procedures themselves. Emergency dental services for children are available through the Healthy Smiles Ontario program for low-income families.
Payment Plans for Uninsured Patients
For treatment costs not covered by any government program or private insurance, we offer flexible payment arrangements. Ask at the front desk about our current payment plan options — we would rather work out a plan that lets you get the treatment you need than have you defer essential dental care because of cost.
