Get Dental Coverage With The New Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)

Dental benefits that could significantly lower dental costs for uninsured, lower income BC residents

The federal government has introduced a new Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), designed to make it easier for vulnerable Canadians to access affordable oral health care.

This program covers dental care costs for Canadians without dental benefits and with a household income under $90,000 a year.

Here’s everything you need to know:

Am I Eligible?

To qualify for CDCP, you must:

not have access to any type of dental insurance or coverage
have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000
be a Canadian resident for tax purposes
have filed your previous years’ income tax return

What Dental Services are Covered?

Services that could be covered under the CDCP include the following, with some services only becoming available in fall 2024:

preventive services, including scaling (cleaning), polishing, sealants, and fluoride;
diagnostic services, including examinations and x-rays;
restorative services, including fillings;
endodontic services, including root canal treatments;
prosthodontic services, including complete and partial removable dentures;
periodontal services, including deep scaling;
oral surgery services, including extractions.

How Much is Covered by CDCP?

The CDCP will reimburse a percentage of the cost, based on established CDCP fees and your adjusted family net income.

Patients may be required to make a co-payment (that is, pay for a portion of their dental care under the CDCP) based on the following income thresholds:
