Access to dental care is a vital part of maintaining overall health — yet for many Canadians, the cost of regular treatment can be a barrier. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is designed to change that.
This national program helps individuals and families without private insurance access affordable, preventive, and restorative dental care, making it easier to maintain healthy smiles across the country.
At Langley Dental Centre, we proudly participate in this program to ensure patients throughout British Columbia can receive quality dental care without financial stress. Our goal is to make the process simple, transparent, and comfortable — from your first consultation to your final follow-up.
What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
The CDCP Canada is a federal initiative created to expand access to essential dental care for those who don’t have private insurance. It covers a wide range of preventive and basic dental treatments, such as:
- Routine exams and cleanings
- X-rays and fluoride applications
- Fillings and extractions
- Dentures and related repairs
This program represents one of the most significant improvements to dental coverage in Canada, helping individuals and families maintain oral health and confidence regardless of income level.
Who Can Qualify for the Program?
Eligibility for the Canadian Dental Care Plan depends on three main factors:
- No Private Dental Insurance: You must not be covered by an employer or private plan.
- Residency and Tax Filing: You must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes and have filed your latest tax return.
- Household Income: Your family income must fall within the program’s limits.
Family Income | Coverage Level |
Below $70,000 | 100% coverage |
$70,000–$79,999 | 60% coverage |
$80,000–$89,999 | 40% coverage |
$90,000 or higher | Not eligible |
These tiers ensure that families with lower incomes receive the most support while keeping care fair and accessible nationwide.
What Treatments Are Covered?
The dental benefits Canada provides through the CDCP focus on essential, preventive, and restorative care that protects long-term oral health.
Coverage typically includes:
- Comprehensive dental exams and cleanings
- X-rays and fluoride treatments
- Tooth-coloured fillings and basic restorations
