What Does the CDCP Cover?
The plan covers a range of essential dental services, including:

- Dentures
Coverage details depend on your age, income, and specific treatment needs. We'll confirm what's covered for you before any treatment begins.
Why Choose La Perle for Your CDCP Care?
Many dental offices either don't accept the CDCP or charge patients the difference between their fees and what the plan pays. At La Perle, we do neither. We participate fully and absorb the difference, because we believe the plan should work the way it was intended.
We also price below the Alberta fee guide, direct bill on your behalf, and offer flexible payment plans if there's anything remaining after your coverage is applied.
If you've been waiting to see a dentist because of cost, this plan may be your opportunity to start.
