Prosthodontic services, including dentures, will be partially covered.

Dentures are covered under this program but there is a small portion that the senior will need to pay for this service.

Most basic dental treatments are covered at no cost to you. However, if you decide to have services or treatment not covered under the program then you will be responsible for these costs. There are patient costs associated with denture treatment.

OSDCP can only pay for dental treatment for seniors who are enrolled in the program before treatment was started.

The health unit may be able to assist with some travel related expenses. Please contact our seniors dental care clinic for more information.
