What is the CDCP
The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a federal program designed to improve access to dental care for eligible Canadian residents who do not have private dental insurance.
The program helps cover a portion of the cost for essential dental services, including:
- Dental exams and preventive care
- Cleanings and hygiene services
- Fillings and basic restorative treatments
- Tooth extractions and root canal therapy
- Complete / Partial Dentures and other major services (subject to approval)
Coverage is based on eligibility and may vary depending on income level and treatment type.

You may be eligible if you:

Understanding Co-Payments
The CDCP may not cover 100% of all treatment costs. Depending on your income level and the type of service, a co-payment may apply.
In addition, the CDCP uses its own fee schedule, which may differ from standard dental fee guides. This means there may be a small balance remaining even for covered services.
We will always explain any costs clearly before proceeding with treatment.
