Access the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) With Smile on 34th

At Smiles on 34th, we are committed to providing high-quality dental care that is both accessible and affordable. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a new initiative by the Government of Canada designed to help Canadians access essential dental treatments. If you live in South Edmonton, our clinic is ready to help you make the most of this new benefit.

What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a publicly funded dental program created to reduce financial barriers to oral healthcare. Launched in May 2024, the CDCP is available to eligible Canadians who do not have private dental coverage and have an annual household income of less than $90,000.


This plan covers a wide range of dental services, including preventative care, diagnostics, and restorative treatments. Its goal is to support overall health by improving access to dental care for individuals and families.
