About DentiScout

DentiScout is an independent directory of dental clinics that accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), in English and French. We are not a government website, and we are not affiliated with the Government of Canada, Health Canada or Sun Life.

Why this site exists

People newly covered by the CDCP, many of them seniors, people with disabilities and lower-income families, keep running into the same problem: it's hard to tell which clinics actually accept the plan. Sun Life's search tool helps, but the government notes it isn't complete. Clinic websites say different things, and few directories show where their information comes from.

We built a directory that shows its work. Every listing says how we know the clinic accepts the CDCP and when we last checked.

What makes us different

• CDCP only. Every listing has evidence that the clinic accepts the plan. We currently list 589 clinics in 36 cities and towns.
• Independent. We list every clinic we can evidence, not one chain or network.
• Evidence on every listing. A source, a quote from the clinic's website where there is one, and a check date.
• Honest labels. We don't call anything "verified" until we've confirmed it directly with the clinic.
• Fully bilingual. Every page has a French version.
