Understanding the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), is a federal program designed to reduce financial barriers to oral health care for eligible Canadian residents. Our clinic is proud to participate in this program to help our community maintain healthy smiles.

The CDCP covers a wide range of oral health services to prevent and treat dental issues. These include:

  • Preventative services: Cleanings, sealants, and fluoride.

  • Diagnostic services: Examinations and X-rays.

  • Restorative services: Fillings.

  • Endodontic services: Root canal treatments.

  • Prosthodontic services: Complete and partial removable dentures.

  • Oral surgery: Extractions.


Who is Eligible?

To qualify for the CDCP, you must meet the following criteria:

  1. No access to dental insurance: You do not have access to any form of private dental insurance or employer/pension-sponsored dental benefits.

  2. Financial criteria: Have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000.

  3. Residency: Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes.

  4. Tax Filing: Have filed your tax return for the previous year.


How Does Payment Work?

The CDCP is not a "free" program for everyone; it is a co-payment system based on your income.

  • Income under $70,000: The CDCP covers 100% of the CDCP established fees.

  • Income $70,000–$79,999: The CDCP covers 60% of the fees (you pay a 40% co-payment).
