What services will be covered under the CDCP?

Which services will be included under the CDCP in Mississauga?

At Dr. Aatika Ahmed's Dental Care in Mississauga, we're committed to helping you make the most of your benefits under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). Below is a summary of the services that are covered, ensuring you receive the dental care you need without financial stress:

Preventive Care:

• Scaling (cleaning), polishing, sealants, and fluoride treatments – These routine procedures are crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing future issues.

Diagnostic Services:

• Comprehensive examinations and X-rays – Regular check-ups and imaging are essential for diagnosing potential dental problems early.

Restorative Treatments:

• Fillings and root canal therapies – These services address tooth decay and infections, helping you preserve your natural teeth.

Prosthodontic Services:

• Complete and partial removable dentures – If you're missing teeth, dentures can restore your smile and function.

Oral Surgery:

• Oral surgery procedures, including extractions – For cases where a tooth must be removed, CDCP coverage ensures you're taken care of.

Preauthorization Requirement:

It's important to note that some services may require preauthorization, meaning that approval from the CDCP is needed before the treatment can proceed. Starting in November 2024, services that require preauthorization will be available for coverage. Dr. Aatika Ahmed will assess your individual needs and recommend treatments accordingly, ensuring that the proposed procedures are eligible under the CDCP.

Co-Payment Information:

Depending on your adjusted family net income, you may be required to cover a portion of the cost for some services, as CDCP coverage percentages vary. For example:

• Families with an income lower than $70,000 will have 100% of the CDCP-established fees covered.
• Income between $70,000 and $79,999 will have 60% covered.
• Income between $80,000 and $89,000 will have 40% covered.
