Yes, the CDCP has set frequency limitations for specific procedures to ensure appropriate use of services. For example, preventive services like cleanings and examinations may be limited to once per year. For detailed information on these limitations, refer to the CDCP Dental Benefits Guide.
Currently, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) primarily focuses on essential dental services and preventive care, such as exams, cleanings, and fillings. Dental implants, which are typically classified as elective or advanced restorative procedures, may not be fully covered under the CDCP. Coverage for implants is often limited in government programs, as they are generally considered outside the scope of basic dental needs.
However, specific details on CDCP coverage can vary, and it's best to consult the latest Government of Canada CDCP benefits guide or speak with your dentist to confirm eligibility for more complex procedures like dental implants.
Dental bridges, which serve as a functional solution for missing teeth, may be covered under the CDCP if classified as essential restorative care. Coverage may depend on individual eligibility and income levels, as well as on the specific needs of each patient. Since bridges are often more widely covered than implants in public health plans, it’s possible that the CDCP may include partial coverage for eligible patients, especially if the bridge is medically necessary for chewing and speaking functions.
For the most accurate and detailed information on whether dental bridges are covered, review the official CDCP benefits guide or consult with your dental provider.
