Canada Dental Benefit Plan

The Canada Dental Benefit Plan was developed by the Federal Government to provide eligible parents or guardians with direct, up-front, tax-free payments to cover dental expenses for their children under 12-years-old.

The Canada Dental Benefit provides payments of up to $650 per child per year for families with adjusted net income under $90,000 per year and without dental coverage.

We have created a comprehensive program package with fixed costs and services children will receive at their appointment. This program package was created to simplify the process for our current patients or new patients who qualify for this Benefit Plan and our interested in visiting our dental practice.

Cost is for a comprehensive treatment and is a flat rate based on age.

• 3 – 5 yrs of age      $201
• 6 – 8 yrs of age      $310
• 9 – 11 yrs of age    $343

The cost will cover a comprehensive treatment including:
