At Phoenix Dental Implant and Invisalign Centre, we are committed to providing our patients with the best possible dental care. We are excited to announce that we are accepting the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) in Vancouver, BC, a new initiative by the Government of Canada designed to make dental care more accessible and affordable for those in need.

If you haven’t received a letter, ensure your address on your 2022 tax filing is current and update it with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) if necessary. Applications can also be submitted online through this link.
Receiving Confirmation of Enrolment
After applying, Health Canada will confirm eligibility and share information with SunLife, which will send a welcome package within three months, including:- The start date of your coverage
- Your membership card
- Information about the CDCP
The CDCP offers three levels of coverage based on adjusted family net income.
*Providers may charge provincial fee guide rather than the CDCP fees. To improve and maintain the oral health of our valued patients, At Phoenix Dental Implant and Invisalign Centre, we honour the CDCP fee guide for all preventive treatments including cleaning, polishing, regular recall examinations, Xrays, fillings, extractions and emergency examinations. Patients are responsible for paying the difference between the CDCP and provincial fee guide for more complicated procedures like root canal treatments, crowns and dentures.
