What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan and Who Is It For?

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.
