Dental Services that May Be Covered Under CDCP
Coverage depends on your eligibility, oral health needs, frequency limits, and current CDCP guidelines. Some treatments may require preauthorization before care begins.
Dental Exams
Dental exams help assess your oral health, identify concerns, and determine whether treatment is needed.
Dental Cleanings
Professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, support gum health, and reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Pediatric Dentistry
Eligible children may receive preventive, diagnostic, restorative, and other dental services under CDCP guidelines.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment may help address infection, relieve discomfort, and preserve a damaged or infected natural tooth.
Dentures
Complete or partial dentures, along with certain repairs, relines, and adjustments, may be covered depending on your needs.
Oral Surgery
Eligible procedures may include tooth and root removal, treatment of oral infections, and certain other surgical services.
Please Note: In addition to the endodontic procedures listed above, other dental procedures relevant to endodontic care may also be covered under the CDCP, such as composite fillings, post removal, and certain emergency treatments. Contact our team to learn more about your coverage and available options.
