Dental Care Made Easy with Canadian Dental Care Plan in NW Calgary

The Canadian Dental Care Plan helps eligible residents access dental care.

This includes the Canadian Dental Plan for Seniors, adults, children under 18, and individuals with disabilities.

Here, you’ll learn what CDCP covers, who qualifies, how to apply, and more to help you stay informed about dental initiatives available.

Who Qualifies for CDCP?

To be eligible, you need to meet all four of the following :

  • No private dental insurance (workplace, pension, family plan, or student).
  • Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes.
  • Filed a Canadian tax return last year.
  • Adjusted family net income must be under CAD 90,000.

The phased rollout in 2025 includes seniors (65+), children, those with a Disability Tax Credit, and adults aged 18–64.

By late May, all adults had access to CDCP, for which the coverage started after June 2025.

As of now, all eligible Canadians of all ages can apply for the CDCP.

What Services Does CDCP Cover?

CDCP covers a broad set of oral health services as long as they are clinically needed.

  • Preventive & diagnostic (exam, X‑rays, cleanings, sealants)
  • Restorative (fillings, root canals, extractions)
  • Periodontal (gum treatments, deep cleanings, post‑surgical care)
  • Major dentistry (crowns, dentures, prosthetics)
  • Oral surgery (extractions, cyst/tumour removal, jaw care)

How Much Does CDCP Pay?

Coverage is based on your adjusted family net income.

If your dentist has a higher fee guide than the CDCP-established rate (called balance billing), you’ll pay the extra directly.
