This often applies to cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or veneers, or when treatment costs exceed your plan’s annual limit. If that happens, there’s no need to worry—we’ll guide you through all available options, including:
Developing a phased treatment plan
Offering flexible scheduling to fit your needs
Providing clear and upfront cost estimates
Exploring alternative treatment options when possible
We also accept major credit cards and debit, and offer flexible payment plans to help make your care as affordable as possible.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a government-funded program aimed at making dental care more accessible and affordable for Canadians who do not have private dental insurance. It covers essential services such as exams, cleanings, x-rays, fillings, and more—based on your income and eligibility.
Beginning in May 2024, the CDCP is expanding in phases to include more eligible groups, including children under 18, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. Eventually, the program will be available to all qualifying Canadian residents without access to private coverage.
If you’re unsure about your eligibility, the team at Sunshine Dentistry is here to help. We can walk you through the application process and explain how to use your CDCP benefits at our clinic. Our goal is to make quality dental care accessible to everyone in our Richmond Hill community.
