You may qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan if you meet a few simple criteria set by the federal government. The CDCP was created to help Canadians who don’t have access to private dental insurance get the care they need, so eligibility is based mainly on your income, insurance status, and residency.
You likely qualify for the CDCP if:
The amount of coverage you receive depends on your income level. Those earning less than $70,000 can receive full coverage, while those earning between $70,000 and $90,000 may get partial coverage.
Remaining Eligible Canadian Residents: Applications have been open since May 2025 for ages 18-64 without dental insurance, and income under $90,000.
CDCP covers a wide range of dental services that are essential for your dental health, including:
The CDCP is designed to reduce or remove the financial barriers to receiving essential dental care. However, depending on your household income, you may still have to pay part of the cost for certain services, known as a co-payment.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) works alongside, but not in place of, other dental coverage options. Many patients wonder how it interacts with private or provincial plans. Here’s what you need to know.
It depends on your household income. If your income is under $70,000, your eligible dental services are fully covered with no out-of-pocket costs. If your income is between $70,000 and $90,000, you may need to pay a co-payment for some services.
To use your CDCP benefits, you need to visit a participating dentist. If your regular dentist isn’t enrolled, you can either ask them to join the program or choose a nearby participating clinic, such as Lisgar Park Dental in Liberty Village.
No, the CDCP generally directly pays participating dentists for eligible services. Paying upfront and seeking reimbursement is not standard, so it’s best to schedule your treatment at a clinic that accepts the plan.
Coverage is annual, based on the benefit year. You don’t need to reapply within the same year, but you must reconfirm your eligibility each year through renewal to continue receiving benefits. Your household income and insurance status are reviewed to ensure you still qualify.
Cleanings, exams, x-rays, fillings, root canals, crowns, dentures, extractions. No preapproval needed for routine preventive and basic restorative care.
