Canadian Dental Care Plan in Etobicoke, ON
Canadian Dental Care Plan Near You
The CDCP is a federal program that helps people who don’t have private dental insurance get access to important dental and denture services. It reduces how much you need to pay, depending on your family income and what treatments are approved.
Who Can Apply for the CDCP
To qualify, you need to meet all of the following:
- You must not have access to dental insurance, whether through work, a family member, or a group plan.
- Your adjusted family net income must be under CAD 90,000.
- You and your partner (if applicable) must have filed your tax returns for the previous year.
- You must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes.
- Age groups already eligible include seniors aged 65+, children under 18, and adults with a valid Disability Tax Credit. And adults between 18–64 are also phased in to apply for the coverage.
What Services Are Covered
If your treatment is approved under the plan, here’s what’s included:
- Routine exams, cleanings (scaling), x-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants.
- Fillings, extractions, and root canals when needed.
- Removable dentures (complete, partial, repairs, relines, and rebases) when clinically required.
- Periodontal (gum) disease treatment, oral surgery, sedation/anesthesia in more complex cases.
How Much You Might Pay
Here’s how cost-sharing works based on your income:
| Adjusted Family Net Income | Portion CDCP Covers | What You ight Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Under CAD 70,000 | 100% of approved CDCP fees | 0% co-payment |
| CAD 70,000 – 79,999 | 60% of approved CDCP fees | 40% co-payment |
| CAD 80,000 – 89,999 | 40% of approved CDCP fees | 60% co-payment |
If the denture provider charges more than the fee schedule set by CDCP, you’ll need to pay the difference. Always ask ahead what the cost will be.
How to Apply & Use CDCP
When applying, here’s what you’ll do:
- Confirm you match the eligibility criteria above.
- Apply via the Canadian government’s portal (Service Canada / My Service Canada Account).
- Get confirmation of eligibility and your coverage start date. Only treatments after that date will be covered.
- Go to a denture clinic that bills the plan directly. You can ask whether your clinic is a CDCP Provider in Etobicoke, and if yes, ask them to share the estimate that CDCP covers and what you have to pay.
