*Note: Patients with existing government-funded dental coverage (federal, provincial, or territorial) may still qualify for CDCP.
When Can You Apply?
Starting in 2025, all eligible Canadians can apply for coverage under the program.
What Does the Plan Cover?
CDCP covers a percentage of treatment costs based on income:
