Access Affordable Dental Care with the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
The CDCP is a federal program that makes dental care more affordable for eligible Canadians by paying a portion of the cost of many oral health care services. At Yankee Valley Dental, we’re pleased to be accepting CDCP payments for those who qualify.
