Canadian Dental Care Plan

Supporting Access to Dental Care Through the Canadian Dental Care Plan

At Westpointe Dental, we believe everyone should have access to quality dental care. We proudly participate in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a federal program designed to help eligible Canadians access essential dental services if they do not have private dental insurance.

If you or a family member do not have dental coverage through a private insurance plan, the CDCP may help support your dental care needs. Our team is happy to provide general information about the program and assist with coordinating your care once eligibility and coverage have been confirmed.

Who Is Eligible for the CDCP

The Canadian Dental Care Plan is available to eligible Canadians who meet all of the following criteria:

• No existing private dental insurance
• Adjusted family net income under $90,000
• Resident of Canada for tax purposes
• Filed an income tax return for the previous year

For complete eligibility requirements and the most up-to-date information, please visit the official Government of Canada website at Canada.ca/Dental.

Important Information About the CDCP

Understanding how the Canadian Dental Care Plan works can help you plan for your dental care.

• The CDCP is not a free program. Depending on your income level, you may be responsible for a co-payment.
• Not all dental services are covered under the program.
• Some treatments may require preauthorization.
• Coverage levels and eligible services may change over time.

Reviewing your coverage details before treatment can help you better understand any anticipated out-of-pocket expenses and support treatment planning that aligns with your oral health needs and budget.

How to Apply for the Canadian Dental Care Plan

To apply for the CDCP, you may need the following information:

• Social Insurance Number, if available
• Proof of income
• Full legal name and date of birth
• Home and mailing addresses
• Details of any other government benefit programs
• Most recent tax return and Notice of Assessment

The fastest way to apply is through your CRA My Account at Canada.ca/my-CRA-account. You can also apply or ask questions by calling 1-833-537-4342.
