The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program introduced to provide dental coverage to Canadians who do not have access to employer or private dental insurance and whose household income falls within the eligible range. The program is administered by the federal government through Sun Life and Service Canada.

Eligibility is based on factors including household income, tax filing status, and whether the applicant has private dental insurance. The specific income thresholds, covered age groups, and benefit levels are set by the federal government and are subject to change. For current eligibility requirements, patients should visit the official Government of Canada website at canada.ca or contact Service Canada directly.

Guelph Village Dental does not determine CDCP eligibility. The clinic accepts patients who have been approved through the program and works with each patient to maximize the value of their authorized benefits.

Guelph Village Dental provides all dental services that are approved under a patient's individual CDCP authorization. The following categories of care are available at the clinic and may be covered under CDCP dental coverage, subject to the specific services authorized in each patient's plan:

Coverage depends on each patient's individual CDCP authorization and benefit level. Not all services are automatically covered for all patients. Guelph Village Dental reviews your approved benefits before recommending treatment and explains clearly what is covered and what, if any, out-of-pocket costs apply.

When you attend Guelph Village Dental as a CDCP patient Guelph, the clinic reviews your coverage details before treatment is planned. CDCP works differently from traditional dental insurance: coverage is income-tested, meaning the proportion of costs covered depends on your household income bracket and the specific services authorized under your benefit level.

• Some services may be fully covered with no out-of-pocket cost to the patient
• Other services may require a co-payment from the patient depending on income tier
• Services not authorized under your CDCP benefits are explained clearly before any treatment proceeds
• Phased treatment planning is available to prioritise clinically urgent care within your benefit limits

The Guelph Village Dental team explains which treatments fall within your approved CDCP authorization and which costs, if any, would be your responsibility. No treatment proceeds without a clear explanation of costs and your informed consent.
