What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a national initiative created to make dental care more accessible for Canadians who do not have private dental insurance. Administered by Sun Life on behalf of the federal government, the CDCP helps cover a wide range of preventive and restorative dental treatments at participating clinics, including Keelesdale Dental.

This plan aims to reduce financial barriers for millions of Canadians, ensuring you can get the oral health care you need without delaying treatment due to cost.

If you’ve been putting off a cleaning, exam, or important dental work due to financial concerns, the CDCP may be your solution to affordable dental care in Toronto.

Who Is Eligible for CDCP Dental Coverage?

You may qualify for CDCP dental coverage if you are a Canadian resident who does not have private dental insurance, has filed taxes for the previous year, and has an adjusted family net income under $90,000. Eligibility is also based on specific age or group criteria, with priority given to seniors, children under 18, individuals with disabilities, and eligible families. The rollout is happening in phases, gradually expanding to include more Canadians. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our friendly team at Keelesdale Dental is here to help you check your CDCP eligibility and guide you through every step of the application process.

What Dental Services Are Covered Under the CDCP?

At Keelesdale Dental, many of our essential dental services are eligible under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). While some treatments may require preauthorization, we make the process seamless by managing all paperwork and coordinating directly with Sun Life on your behalf. Covered services typically include exams and cleanings, X-rays and digital imaging, fluoride treatments, sealants, basic fillings, bonded restorations, root canals on front teeth, extractions, surgical removals, denture services, and periodontal care for gum disease.

The extent of your coverage depends on your income bracket and whether the service requires prior approval. Our warm and knowledgeable admin team is always available to walk you through what’s included and help plan your treatment. If you’re researching free dental care eligibility in Toronto, the CDCP may offer you significant cost savings, or even full coverage, if you qualify.
