What Services Are Covered Under the CDCP?
The CDCP assists in covering a wide selection of important dental care services, including:
- Routine Exams & Emergency Exams
- Routine cleanings (scaling)
- Periodontal care
- X-rays
- Fillings
- Extractions
- Root canal treatments
- Denture services (full and partial)
- Preventive care like fluoride, sealants & polish
* Additional services covered may require a Pre-Determination to your CDCP plan. Services must be deemed medically necessary and eligible under CDCP guidelines.
Important: You May Still Have a Copayment
While the CDCP covers a percentage of treatment costs based on your income, all patients will have a copayment, as the reimbursement fees set by the Federal Plan are lower than the Ontario Dental Association Fee Guide.
Co-payments based on adjusted family net income:
| Adjusted family net income | How much the CDCP covers |
| Under $70,000 | Up to 100% of eligible oral health care service costs will be covered at the CDCP established fees. |
| Between $70,000-$79,999 | Up to 60% of eligible oral health care service costs will be covered at the CDCP established fees. |
| Between $80,000-$89,999 | Up to 40% of eligible oral health care service costs will be covered at the CDCP established fees. |
Our team can request a Pre-Determination (an estimate) on your behalf before any service, so you’ll have an idea of your estimated out-of-pocket cost. Just ask one of our friendly staff members before your next visit.
