Now Accepting CDCP at St. Andrew's Dental Centre

Access to dental care is essential for maintaining overall health and quality of life. At St. Andrew’s Dental Centre in Aurora, we are proud to participate in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) to help more members of our community receive the treatment they need without financial burden. This government-funded initiative is designed to make essential oral healthcare services more accessible to Canadians who do not have private dental coverage.
The CDCP is being rolled out in stages, beginning with eligible seniors, children under 18, and individuals with disabilities. As the program expands, more people will gain access to much-needed dental services through trusted clinics like ours.

Call us at 905-727-4243. Our knowledgeable staff is here to help you with CDCP eligibility, coverage details, and appointment scheduling.
