If your household income is under $90,000 and you don't have private insurance, the Canadian Dental Care Plan can reduce your costs. Here's everything you need to know about eligibility, covered services, and how to apply.
The CDCP covers a significant portion of basic treatments, but you may still have a co‑payment depending on your income bracket:
Adjusted Family Net Income | Government Pays | You Pay |
---|---|---|
Under $70,000 | 100% | 0% |
$70,000-$79,999 | 60% | 40% |
$80,000-$89,999 | 40% | 60% |
This program focuses on essential oral health. Covered treatments include:
For advanced procedures, dentists can submit a pre‑approval request (available since November 1, 2024) for review by Health Canada.
There's no more staggered rollout—applications are open to all eligible Canadians right now. Visit the official federal portal, complete a short form, and wait for your welcome letter or card.
If you have questions about coverage or costs, we're here to help at Bonavista Dental Centre in Ottawa. We'll walk you through eligibility and co‑payments so you can focus on your smile.
