Question 1

Does the CDCP cover dentures completely?

Accepted Answer

For most patients, no. Your household income sets whether the plan pays 100%, 60% or 40% of the CDCP fee schedule — and that schedule pays less than the provincial denturist fee guide, so there is normally a balance even at the highest tier. At Dentures Direct that balance is typically around 30% of the cost. You will be given your exact figure in writing before treatment begins.

Question 2

Why do you charge a co-payment when some clinics say they do not?

Accepted Answer

A clinic that collects nothing beyond the plan has to build to what the plan pays. We design and CNC-mill every denture in our own lab and we use the same process regardless of how you are paying. We would rather charge an honest balance than quietly reduce what you are getting.

Question 3

Does the CDCP cover implant dentures?

Accepted Answer

The plan does not cover implant surgery. It may cover part of the denture component depending on your eligibility, and the rules are still evolving — call us and we will check what applies to your situation rather than have you guess.

Question 4

What if I cannot afford the co-payment?

Accepted Answer

Raise it with Damien at your consultation. Where there is genuine hardship or disability there is discretion, and it is used. Please ask rather than going without.

Question 5

Do I need to apply before I come in?

Accepted Answer

Yes — apply through the federal government and wait for your Sun Life member card. Once you have it, bring it to your appointment and we take over from there.

Question 6

Will you tell me the cost before you start?

Accepted Answer

Always, and in writing. We submit your treatment plan for pre-authorization, confirm what the plan will pay, and give you the balance before any work begins.
