Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP)

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government program intended to reduce financial barriers to oral health care for Canadians without a dental plan. The program will provide a dental care subsidy for Canadian residents who do not have dental benefits and have an adjusted household income of less than $90,000 a year.

The federal government will only pay a portion of the treatment fees and you will be responsible for additional charges known as co-payments. You may have to be pay these amounts directly to your dentist. For more information on CDCP coverage, visit the Canadian Dental Association site. 

Please wait until you receive CDCP welcome packages and insurance card before booking a dental appointment

Your CDCP welcome packages may take up to three months to arrive from the time you apply and enrol. Your coverage start date will be laid out in your welcome package and may vary based on when you apply and when your application is processed. This means that you cannot receive care under the program until you have received your CDCP card and observed your start date. Appointments can only be scheduled on or after your coverage start date.
