Residents in need of dental care can now benefit from expanded services at Alpha Dental Centre in Kelowna, which is now offering crowns, dentures, and partial dentures through the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). This initiative aims to assist those who lack dental benefits, ensuring essential dental work is accessible to more Canadians.
The CDCP has been operational since December, providing coverage for eligible seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities. The program is designed to alleviate financial barriers to dental care by covering a wide range of services.
Alpha Dental Centre has been enrolled in the CDCP since its inception and is eager to inform potential patients about the new services available under this program. In addition to crowns and dentures, the plan already covers critical services such as cleanings, fillings, root canals, and extractions. This expansion is expected to positively impact thousands of Canadians, particularly in the Central Okanagan region.
What distinguishes Alpha Dental Centre from other clinics participating in the program is its commitment to adhering to the government’s reduced fee schedule. This ensures that most eligible patients, especially seniors, can receive treatment at little to no cost. Patients with full coverage will not incur any additional fees.
“The majority of our patients covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan leave their appointments without any additional charges,” said Dr. Kal Dhaliwal of Alpha Dental Centre.
Since the launch of the CDCP, tens of thousands of Canadians have utilized its benefits, including many in Kelowna who have chosen Dr. Dhaliwal and his team for their dental needs.
Dr. Dhaliwal noted a strong response from seniors who often qualify for coverage more easily. “Many have expressed how relieved they are to finally receive the dental care they’ve put off for years,” he stated.
“They’re often thrilled to learn that most—if not all—of their treatment is fully covered by the plan.”
Alpha Dental Centre continues to accept new patients and demonstrates a commitment to accessible dental care through its wide range of services. These include basic fillings and cleanings as well as specialized treatments like Invisalign, cosmetic dentistry, dentures, partial dentures, and sedation dentistry.
Located at 104-2040 Springfield Rd., Alpha Dental Centre plays a vital role in community health by offering both emergency care and regular dental services to everyone in need.
