The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) extends dental care coverage to Canadian residents with an adjusted family net income below $90,000 who lack access to dental insurance. Eligible Canadians can rely on the CDCP to assist with the expenses associated with a range of oral health care services.
Depending on your adjusted family net income, you may have to make a co-payment of up to 60%. You may also have to pay costs the CDCP does not cover.
Canadian residents who lack access to private dental insurance and have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000.
The majority of individuals will receive mail notifications with instructions on how to enroll in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) through Sunlife insurance. If you meet the eligibility criteria and have not received a letter, you also have the option to apply online.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) provides coverage for a broad spectrum of dental services, although not all services are included. While it covers fundamental dental care such as cleaning, polishing, fillings, emergency appointments, and X-rays, there are limitations regarding treatment frequency and eligibility.
Before your start any treatment, you should understand your dental care costs. Please tell your dentist if you plan to use the CDCP benefits.
