The Canadian Dental Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a program of Health Canada that makes dental care more affordable for families and individuals. It is available for all, from children to seniors. The concept is to make dental care cheaper based on family income. The CDCP is not free; qualified patients may be required to pay a percentage of their dental expenses, depending on their family income.

What You Need to Know About the CDCP?

  • Launch Date: Dental benefits under the CDCP are expected to start in May 2024.
  • Benefits Administration: Health Canada administers the CDCP program, prioritizing affordable dental care.
  • Patient Contribution: Patients might have to pay for a portion of their treatment. The co-payment level is based on your adjusted family net income:
    • No Co-payment: Families whose adjusted net income is less than $70,000 do not need to pay a co-payment.
    • 40% Co-payment: Families earning between $70,000 and $79,999 cover 40% of their dental care costs under the CDCP.
    • 60% Co-payment: Families with an income between $80,000 and $89,999 cover 60% of dental care costs.
  • Additional Out-of-Pocket Costs: The CDCP may not cover all dental services. Patients could be responsible for services outside the plan’s coverage.
  • Provider Participation: If you plan to use CDCP benefits, check if your dental provider participates in the program.
