Now Available for All Ages as of May 2025

Rockingham Ridge Dental is proud to support the Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP) — a federal program designed to help make dental care more accessible and affordable for Canadians. As of May 2025, the plan is available to all age groups who meet the eligibility criteria.

Whether you’re a child, adult, or senior, you may now qualify for coverage of essential dental services, and our team is here to help you every step of the way.

What Is the Canada Dental Care Plan?

The Canada Dental Care Plan is a national initiative introduced by the Government of Canada to provide financial assistance for dental care to eligible individuals and families without private insurance. The plan covers a range of preventive, diagnostic, and restorative dental services.

  • Aesthetic, natural-looking restoration
  • Strong and durable material that resists wear
  • Preservation of more natural tooth structure
  • Mercury-free and biocompatible materials
  • Bonding directly to the tooth for added strength and reduced risk of future decay

Our team carefully matches the composite resin to the shade of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a flawless restoration that enhances both function and appearance.

I have been going to this dental clinic for years. Everyone is friendly and professional. I am always really nervous about getting anything done and Dr. Nichols always makes me feel comfortable and my hygienist is great.
