    Understanding the Program

    What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

    The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a federal program that helps eligible Canadian residents pay part of the cost of qualifying oral healthcare services.

    CDCP is not identical to private insurance and it is not automatically free dental care. Payment depends on active eligibility, adjusted family net income, the procedure provided, CDCP-established fees, frequency limits and preauthorization rules.

    • Service Canada determines federal eligibility.
    • Sun Life processes eligible claims submitted by providers.
    • My City Dental recommends treatment based on oral-health findings.
    • The clinic cannot guarantee eligibility, coverage or claim approval.

    What My City Dental Can Do

    • Confirm that we accept CDCP patients.
    • Review your member information and effective date.
    • Check whether coverage appears active.
    • Submit estimates where appropriate.
    • Submit eligible claims directly.
    • Explain known co-payments and additional charges.
    Eligibility Requirements

    Who Qualifies for CDCP?

    Applicants must meet all four federal requirements. Having access to a qualifying private plan can make a person ineligible even when the plan is declined, unused or requires a premium.

    1

    No Access to Private Dental Coverage

    This includes coverage through an employer, spouse or family member, pension, professional or student organization, health spending account, individual policy or group benefits plan.

    2

    Required Tax Returns Filed

    You and your spouse or common-law partner, when applicable, must have filed the required Canadian tax returns so family income can be assessed.

    3

    Family Income Below $90,000

    Eligibility is based on adjusted family net income, not only the applicant’s personal salary. The requirement is below $90,000.

    4

    Canadian Resident for Tax Purposes

    The applicant must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes. All four eligibility conditions must be met.

    My City Dental cannot approve a CDCP application

    Eligibility is assessed by Service Canada. Apply, renew, update information and check application status through the official Government of Canada process.

    Patient Costs

    How Much Does CDCP Cover?

    CDCP pays a percentage of eligible services according to its established fee schedule. These percentages apply to the CDCP-established fee, which may differ from the clinic’s treatment fee.

    Adjusted family net income CDCP portion of eligible CDCP-established fees Patient co-payment
    Below $70,000100%0%
    $70,000–$79,99960%40%
    $80,000–$89,99940%60%

    Does 100% CDCP coverage mean the appointment is free?

    Not necessarily. A patient may still owe money when the clinic fee is higher than the CDCP-established fee, a service exceeds a frequency limit, treatment is excluded, required preauthorization is denied, coverage is inactive or only part of the treatment qualifies.

    Coverage Overview

    What Dental Services May Be Covered?

    Coverage depends on active status, clinical need, procedure eligibility, frequency limits, required preauthorization and current documentation rules. A treatment recommended by a dentist is not automatically covered.

    May Be Covered

    Dental Exams and X-Rays

    Eligible complete, recall, specific and emergency examinations may be covered, along with qualifying dental X-rays. Type and frequency rules apply.

    Dental X-Rays

    Emergency Dentistry
    Approval Before Treatment

    What Is CDCP Preauthorization?

    Preauthorization is a review process used before certain treatments can qualify for CDCP payment. The provider submits procedure codes and supporting clinical documentation for assessment.

    Treatments That May Require Preauthorization

    • Crowns
    • Initial partial dentures
    • Some complete dentures and overdentures
    • Root canal retreatment
    • Treatment beyond frequency limits
    • Selected oral-surgery procedures
    • Certain specialist examinations
    • Higher levels of sedation
    • Additional scaling or root planing

    Approval Is Not Guaranteed

    A request may require current X-rays, periodontal measurements, missing-tooth information, planned extractions, clinical notes, medical information and a written treatment rationale.

    Treatment requiring preauthorization should normally not begin until approval is received. Excluded procedures cannot be reconsidered.

    Important Coverage Limits

    Which Services Are Excluded from CDCP?

    Excluded procedures are outside the scope of CDCP and are not eligible for preauthorization reconsideration. They may still be available as privately paid treatment.

    Does CDCP cover braces or Invisalign?

    Not currently. A limited orthodontic program is planned for selected patients with severe, functionally significant conditions. The implementation date remains undetermined, and future coverage will require preauthorization.
