Services Covered

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) helps cover a portion of the cost for a wide range of oral health care services.

Note: Some services and additional treatments beyond established frequency limits will require preauthorization by the CDCP. This means we will recommend treatment, and the CDCP will determine if it will be covered. This pre-approval must occur before receiving the treatment. The decision will consider your oral health history and medical conditions. Services and additional treatments requiring prior approval will be available in November 2024.

Examples of services that could be covered under the CDCP when recommended by an oral health provider include:

  • Diagnostic and preventive services
  • Basic services
  • Major services
  • Anesthesia or sedation services
  • Orthodontic services

For more information on services covered, consult the CDCP Dental Benefits.

Coverage Amount

The CDCP will cover a portion of your treatment costs but may not cover the entire amount. You might need to pay additional charges directly to your oral health provider if:

  • Your adjusted family net income is between $70,000 and $89,999.
  • The cost of your oral health care services exceeds the reimbursement limits set by the CDCP.
  • You and your oral health provider agree on services that are not covered by the CDCP.
