100% Secure & Private - Your Information is Safe With Us
If you’ve seen “CDCP” pop up lately and wondered what it means — here’s the simple version:
It’s a federal program that helps Canadians without dental insurance get the care they need at little or no cost. Think of it as a helping hand for anyone who’s been putting off the dentist because of price.

Since June 2025, the CDCP now covers all age groups — kids, adults, and seniors.
If you don’t have coverage through work, school, or a private plan, you may qualify for free or reduced-cost dental care.
If you don’t have dental insurance, you may already qualify for CDCP coverage.
Here’s what the government looks at:
1. You don’t have access to dental insurance
2. You’ve filed your taxes
3. Your household income is under $90,000
4. You’re a Canadian resident for tax purposes

The CDCP helps cover most basic and necessary dental services — things that keep your mouth healthy and prevent costly issues later. Cosmetic procedures like whitening, veneers, and most orthodontic work (e.g., braces) aren’t part of standard coverage.
Not sure if you qualify?
Most people are surprised to find they do.
When you book your appointment, our team can quickly confirm your eligibility and explain your coverage — no paperwork, no guessing.

Yes. Regular dental visits help detect and treat issues before they become serious. Most patients benefit from check-ups every six months, but your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your oral health and hygiene habits.
Not always. The need for X-rays depends on your dental history and current oral condition. Patients with healthy teeth may need them less frequently, while those with ongoing concerns may require them more often for proper monitoring and diagnosis.
Once you select a new dentist, you can request that your previous dental office send a copy of your records. The original files remain with the treating dentist, as required by dental regulations, but copies can be securely shared upon your authorization.
