CDCP Dentist in Cambridge
What the CDCP covers at our office
The CDCP helps pay for a wide range of preventive and restorative dental care. At Cambridge Smiles Family Dentistry, CDCP patients commonly use their coverage for:
Dental exams and X-rays
Teeth cleaning (scaling) and fluoride
Fillings
Root canal treatment
Extractions, including many emergency extractions
Complete and partial dentures
Dental emergencies
Some services, such as certain crowns, partial dentures, and major treatment require preauthorization from the CDCP before treatment begins. We handle the preauthorization paperwork for you and let you know what’s approved before any work starts. Purely cosmetic services (such as teeth whitening) are not covered by the CDCP.
