Eligibility under the expanded CDCP includes:

• Full coverage for those earning under $70,000

• Partial coverage with a co-pay for households earning $70,000$89,999

• No access to private dental insurance

• 2024 income tax filing must be completed

Were proud to be part of a movement thats making dental care more inclusive, said Dr. Gorsht, lead dentist at LightHouse Dental London.

Our goal is to eliminate confusion and delays, said Amy, Office Manager at LightHouse Dental London. We assist patients with eligibility questions, explain how co-payments work, and help with application submissions when needed. We want people to focus on their healthnot on paperwork.

Once enrolled, CDCP patients can return for regular maintenance, restorative work, or urgent procedures with peace of mind, knowing their care is covered in part or in full.
