Canadian Dental Care Plan
We Accept the CDCP
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government initiative designed to cover up to 100% of dental care treatment costs for eligible Canadians. If you've applied and been approved, you can receive reduced-cost treatments at our clinic in Toronto.
Is the CDCP for You?
The CDCP is intended for Canadians who do not have dental benefits and have a household income of less than $90,000 a year. You may qualify if:
- Your family net income is less than $90,000.
- You do not have access to private dental insurance.
- You are a Canadian resident and have filed a tax return in the previous year.
- Applicants must have filed their 2024 tax return.
CDCP Application and Eligibility in 2025
If you are 65 years or older, under 18 years old, or an adult with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate, you can apply now.
For adults aged 18-64, applications will open in May 2025:
- May 1, 2025: Ages 55-64
- May 15, 2025: Ages 18-34
- May 29, 2025: Ages 35-54
Coverage for newly eligible adults (18-64) will begin as early as June 1, 2025.
Renewal Process
- Current CDCP members must renew their coverage starting from March 2025.
- The renewal deadline is June 1, 2025, to ensure uninterrupted coverage.
How Much Will the CDCP Cover?
The CDCP is not a free dental program. Patients may be required to make a co-payment of up to 60%, depending on their adjusted family net income. However, the specific coverage percentages and co-payment amounts have not been officially confirmed.
What Treatments Does the CDCP Cover?
- Preventive care: Cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants
- Diagnostic services: Exams, X-rays
- Restorative treatments: Fillings, crowns
- Endodontic treatments: Root canals
- Prosthodontic services: Complete and partial dentures
- Oral surgery: Tooth extractions

- Before proceeding with treatment, it's important for patients to understand their dental care costs, as not all services are covered, and there may be out-of-pocket expenses.
