Canadian Dental Care Plan
Helping Eligible Patients Access Essential Prosthodontic Care
Check Your CDCP Eligibility
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) helps eligible patients access essential dental treatments and preventive care if they do not currently have private dental insurance. Patients whose household income meets the eligibility requirements may qualify for reduced-cost or partially covered treatments through this federal program.
At G Prosthodontics, we are available to help patients understand how the CDCP may apply to their dental care. If you have questions about coverage, eligibility, or treatment options, we can guide you through the process and help determine the next steps.

Household Income and Coverage Levels
Coverage under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is based on your adjusted family net income, which is assessed through your most recent tax return.
| Adjusted Family Net Income | CDCP Covers | You Cover (Co-payment) |
|---|---|---|
| Under $70,000 | 100% of eligible services at CDCP rates | 0% (you may still face additional fees) |
| $70,000 – $79,999 | 60% of eligible services at CDCP rates | 40% of CDCP rates |
| $80,000 – $89,999 | 40% of eligible services at CDCP rates | 60% of CDCP rates |
Note: Our dental clinic may charge more than the CDCP established fees. Any additional cost is the responsibility of the patient. Please confirm coverage and fees with our office before receiving treatment.
What Services Are Covered?
The CDCP covers a range of removable prosthodontic treatments when recommended by a licensed prosthodontist. Some services require preauthorization before treatment. Covered services include:
- Complete dentures (upper and lower)
- Partial dentures (initial placements require preauthorization)
- Immediate dentures and overdentures (preauthorization required)
- Repairs, relines, and rebases of existing dentures
- Tissue conditioning for comfort and healing
Note: Fixed prosthodontics such as bridges, veneers, and implants are not covered. Always confirm with our office to see if a service requires preauthorization or may result in out-of-pocket expenses.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) if you meet all four of the following conditions:
- No access to dental insurance through work, school, or private purchase
- You and your spouse or partner filed a Canadian tax return for the previous year
- Adjusted family net income is under $90,000
- You are a Canadian resident for tax purposes
If you have dental coverage through a government social program, you may still qualify. The CDCP will coordinate coverage to avoid duplication of benefits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful Information for New and Returning Patients
Who Is Eligible for The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan is designed for individuals and families who do not currently have access to private dental insurance and whose adjusted household income is under $90,000. Applicants must have filed their most recent Canadian tax return and must be considered a Canadian resident for tax purposes. Eligibility and coverage levels are determined by the Government of Canada based on the information provided during the application process.
How Much of My Dental Treatment Will the CDCP Cover?
Coverage under the CDCP depends on your adjusted family net income. Patients with household incomes under $70,000 may receive up to 100% coverage of eligible treatments at CDCP rates. Those earning between $70,000 and $79,999 may receive partial coverage, while individuals earning between $80,000 and $89,999 may receive a smaller percentage of coverage. Patients may still be responsible for co-payments or any fees that exceed CDCP established rates.
Do All Dental Treatments Qualify Under the CDCP?
Not all dental treatments are automatically covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Coverage is limited to certain approved procedures and treatments that meet the program guidelines. Some treatments may require preauthorization before they can be completed. It is important to confirm eligibility and coverage with our dental clinic before beginning treatment so you understand what may be covered and what costs may remain your responsibility.
Will I Have Any Out-of-Pocket Costs with CDCP Coverage?
Even if you qualify for the CDCP, there may still be out-of-pocket costs depending on your coverage level and the fees associated with your treatment. The program reimburses treatments based on CDCP fee schedules, and in some cases dental clinics may charge fees that are higher than those rates. Any difference between the CDCP coverage and the treatment fee may be the patient’s responsibility.Your first consultation is an important step in understanding your dental needs and learning about possible treatment options. During this visit, Dr. Gebril will review your concerns, examine your teeth and oral condition, and discuss your goals for treatment. Based on those findings, he can recommend a personalized approach that supports your health, comfort, and smile aesthetics. This visit also gives patients the opportunity to ask questions and better understand the next steps.
How Do I Apply for The Canadian Dental Care Plan?
Applications for the Canadian Dental Care Plan are submitted through the Government of Canada. After applying, eligible individuals will receive confirmation of their coverage, including their member identification number, start date, and co-payment level. Once approved, you can schedule an appointment with our dental clinic for an evaluation and discuss the treatments that may be covered under your CDCP benefits.
