Annual household income should not exceed $90,000

All other Canadian residents: You can apply starting in 2025.

What to Do When You Get Enrolled in the Program

When you are admitted to the CDCP, you will get a package that contains your benefits card and the date when your benefits will begin. It is important to note that any treatment done before your designated start date will not be reimbursed. The earliest start date for coverage will be May 2024.

What is Included in the CDCP?

The CDCP offers a comprehensive package that covers the following dental services :

Basic services
Endodontics (root canals)
Periodontics (gum treatments)
Restorative treatment (fillings, crowns)
Major treatments (dentures, bridges)
Oral surgery

However, some services which require pre-authorization will not be covered until November 2024, when the pre-determination service will be introduced.

Orthodontics are not included in the current plan. However, a special orthodontic program will be introduced in 2025, but it will be available only to those who need it for medical reasons.

Dependents’ Coverage Based on Household Income

The amount of coverage that you will get depends on the income of the household that you belong to:

Households with an income of less than $70,000: 100% coverage (this means that you will not be required to pay for the treatment out of your own pocket)
Households earning $70,000-$79,999: 60% coverage (40% co-payment)
Households earning $80,000-$89,999: 40% coverage (60% co-payment)
