About CDSPI
For dentists, not-for-profit.
WHAT WE DO
We help dentists protect what matters most, and secure their future with advice, insurance, and investments.
Founded by dentists in 1959, CDSPI is a not-for-profit organization rooted in the dental community. As a part of this community, we are committed to delivering tangible benefits to dentists who are members of our participating dental associations. As a not-for-profit, we focus on providing value rather than pursuing profits for shareholders. Our governance structure reflects this commitment, with eleven participating dental associations electing our Board of Directors and appointing representatives to our Corporate Members Council, ensuring that CDSPI always remains aligned with the best interests of Canadian dentists.

What Our Clients Are Saying
They weren't on commission, which was important to me
I’ve had insurance and investments with CDSPI since I started practising 42 years ago. The main thing I looked at was their low administration fee and the fact that they weren’t on commission, which is important to me. I always felt that they worked with my best interests at heart.

When I found out they were a not-for-profit, that clinched it for me
I just knew I could count on CDSPI. When I found out they were a not-for-profit, that clinched it for me. I also learned they sometimes reduce premiums when there are fewer claims. What other company would do that?!
Dr. Raylien Chao
Pediatric Dentist, Vancouver, BC
Very experienced and knowledgeable personnel. We have always been happy with the level of attention to detail with our accounts.

CDSPI provides dependable insurance and investment advice
The no-cost insurance that CDSPI provides is an obvious benefit, and the financial advice is especially important at a time when many are looking at massive student debt upon graduation. I support the Student Program, as CDSPI provides dependable insurance and investment advice to the dentists of tomorrow.
