Oral health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, yet financial barriers often prevent families from seeking the care they need. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) has fundamentally changed the landscape of dental accessibility in Ontario. At TS Dental, we are proud to be a registered CDCP provider in Richmond Hill, serving patients from Oak Ridges, Aurora, and King City.

Since 2005, our multidisciplinary practice has combined clinical excellence with a patient-first approach. Whether you are a senior who has recently enrolled in the program or a parent looking for high-quality Kids dentistry, our clinic is equipped to provide the professional care you deserve under the CDCP framework.

Understanding the CDCP: Eligibility and Benefits in 2026

The Canadian Dental Care Plan is designed to provide dental coverage to uninsured Canadian residents with an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000. As of 2026, the program has expanded to include all eligible age groups, ensuring that children, adults, and seniors can access essential services.

Key Eligibility Requirements

• No Private Insurance: You must not have access to any form of private dental insurance.
• Income Threshold: Your adjusted family net income must be below $90,000.
• Tax Compliance: You must have filed your tax return for the previous year.
• Residency: You must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes.

Co-Payment Structure

Depending on your income bracket, the CDCP may cover between 40% and 100% of the eligible costs based on the CDCP fee guide.

• Below $70,000: 100% coverage (0% co-pay).
• $70,000 – $79,999: 60% coverage (40% co-pay).
• $80,000 – $89,999: 40% coverage (60% co-pay).

At TS Dental, we assist patients in navigating these figures to ensure there are no surprises during your visit. We provide direct insurance billing, meaning we handle the paperwork with Sun Life, so you only pay your portion at the time of service.

Why Choose TS Dental for Your CDCP Care?

Selecting a dental provider is about more than just proximity; it is about trust and technology. For over two decades, TS Dental has been a pillar of the Richmond Hill community. Here is what sets our practice apart:

1. 20+ Years of Clinical Expertise

Since 2005, Dr. Michael Shramban and our multidisciplinary team of specialists have provided a full range of services under one roof. This includes family dentistry, cosmetic procedures, dental implants, oral surgery, and periodontics. Our longevity in the York Region is a testament to our commitment to long-term patient health.

2. FDA-Approved Pearl AI Technology

We believe that every patient deserves the most accurate diagnosis possible. TS Dental utilizes Pearl AI, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence tool that analyzes digital X-rays in real-time. This technology acts as a "second set of eyes" for our dentists, helping to detect early signs of decay, bone loss, or pathology that might be invisible to the naked eye. This ensures that CDCP patients receive the highest standard of diagnostic care available today.

3. Patient-Centric Amenities

We understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful. Our clinic offers a welcoming environment featuring:

• Late evening and Saturday appointments to fit your busy schedule.
• Same-day emergency appointments for urgent care.
• Kids-friendly waiting areas and treatment rooms where children can watch their favorite movies.
• Free parking and complimentary beverages.

Essential Services Covered Under the CDCP

The CDCP covers a wide array of services designed to prevent and treat oral diseases. At our Richmond Hill office, we utilize these benefits to help you maintain a healthy smile.

Preventive and Diagnostic Care

The foundation of a healthy mouth starts with regular maintenance. CDCP coverage typically includes:

• Comprehensive Exams: Initial and recall examinations to assess your oral health status.
• Professional Cleanings: Scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar.
• Digital X-rays: High-resolution imaging (enhanced by Pearl AI) to identify underlying issues.
• Fluoride and Sealants: Critical preventive measures used primarily in Kids dentistry to protect young teeth from cavities.

Restorative Treatments

If you have existing damage, the CDCP helps cover the costs of:

• Bonded Fillings: Using tooth-colored composite resin to repair cavities.
• Root Canal Therapy: Saving a natural tooth that has become infected.
• Extractions: Necessary removals of damaged or problematic teeth.

Advanced Care and Periodontics

For patients with gum disease or those requiring tooth replacements, our in-house specialists provide:

• Gum Disease Treatment: Specialized cleanings and periodontal care to prevent tooth loss.
• Dentures: Partial or full removable dentures to restore function and aesthetics.

How to Book Your CDCP Appointment at TS Dental

Booking your appointment as a CDCP patient is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure a seamless experience at our Richmond Hill or Oak Ridges locations:

1. Verify Your Coverage: Ensure you have received your CDCP welcome package and member card from Sun Life. Check your "coverage start date": you can only book appointments for services occurring on or after this date.
2. Contact Our Office: Call us at 905-313-1003 or use our online contact form.
3. Mention CDCP: When speaking with our reception team, clearly state that you are covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan. This allows us to prepare your file for direct billing.
4. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our dentists will perform a thorough exam using Pearl AI technology. We will then provide a detailed treatment plan that outlines what the CDCP covers and any potential co-payments you may owe.

Advanced Diagnostics: The Pearl AI Advantage

At TS Dental, we don't just "do" dentistry; we advance it. By integrating Pearl AI into our diagnostic workflow, we provide CDCP patients with a level of transparency rarely found in general practices.

When we review your X-rays, the AI highlights areas of concern with clinical precision. This allows us to show you exactly why a treatment is recommended. For families covered by the CDCP, this means higher diagnostic accuracy and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your treatment plan is backed by the latest in dental science. Early detection facilitated by AI can often lead to less invasive: and less expensive: treatments in the future.

Accessible Dental Care for Every Generation

Our practice is designed to be a "dental home" for your entire family. We specialize in Kids dentistry, creating a positive and educational environment for our youngest patients. We know that early experiences at the dentist shape a child's lifelong attitude toward oral health. By using your CDCP benefits for your children at TS Dental, you are giving them access to specialist-level care in a fun, stress-free setting.

For seniors and adults, our multidisciplinary team ensures that even complex cases: such as those requiring oral surgery or gum grafts: can be handled within the same clinic. This eliminates the need for multiple referrals and different offices, making your healthcare journey much more convenient.

Take the Next Step Toward a Healthier Smile

The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a powerful tool for maintaining your health, but it is only effective if you use it. Don't wait for a dental emergency to visit our clinic. Preventive care is the most effective way to avoid pain and high costs down the road.

As a leading CDCP provider in Richmond Hill, TS Dental is ready to welcome you. Our 20+ years of experience, combined with a commitment to modern technology like Pearl AI and iTero scanners, ensures you receive top-tier care regardless of your insurance status.
