Understanding the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
In 2022, the Canadian government introduced the CDCP, a groundbreaking initiative designed to remove financial barriers to dental care for eligible Canadians.
Designed to make quality dental care accessible and affordable, the CDCP is more than just a government initiative – it’s a promise to every Canadian that your smile matters.
Discover how the CDCP can benefit your family and ensure that you have the information you need to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Is Your Family Eligible for Government-Supported Dental Care?
The CDCP is tailored for Canadian residents who do not have private dental benefits and have a household income of less than $90,000 per year.
This plan offers substantial support to those who need it most, making dental care more affordable and accessible. Learn more about the eligibility criteria to see if your family qualifies.

How to Apply for the CDCP
Applying for the CDCP is a straightforward process, with applications rolling out in phases. Whether you’re a senior, a parent, or an adult with disabilities, there are specific timelines and methods to ensure you can apply smoothly, from the comfort of your home.
What Does the CDCP Cover?
The CDCP offers a wide range of dental services, from preventive care like check-ups and cleanings to major restorative services such as crowns and dentures. Coverage varies based on the type of service.
For major restorative work, preauthorization is required. This means you will need an estimate from your dentist and submit it to the CDCP before proceeding. This step helps you understand how much the CDCP will cover and what your out-of-pocket costs will be, allowing you to plan ahead and avoid unexpected expenses.
Understanding the Costs and Savings with the CDCP
While the CDCP significantly reduces dental expenses, it’s important to note that it’s not entirely free. The plan operates on a co-payment system, meaning you’ll share the cost of services with the government.
How the CDCP Integrates with Your Current Insurance
If you already have dental coverage through work, school, or other government programs, you can still be eligible for CDCP.
The plan is designed to complement, not replace, your existing coverage. It acts as a secondary payer, meaning your private insurance or other government programs are billed first, and the CDCP covers the remaining balance up to its coverage limit.
This ensures you receive the maximum benefit possible, making dental care more affordable.
