CDCP in Kitchener, ON

It is the vision of Frederick Dental to ensure that no one is denied essential dental treatment due to financial reasons.

  • No private dental insurance coverage
  • Annual household income should not exceed $90,000
  • A Canadian resident
  • Has filed taxes in the previous year

CDCP Rollout Schedule

The Government of Canada is implementing the CDCP in stages, and this means that only certain groups of people can apply for the plan at certain time intervals:

  • Aged 87+: You can apply in December 2023.
  • Aged 77-86: You are entitled to apply in January, 2024.

  • 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's 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)
