The Canadian Dental Care Plan
At Orb Dental, we believe that quality dental care should be available and affordable to all in our community. We are pleased to announce that we are participating CDCP dentists and are honored to be a part of Canada’s Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a federal program that assists Canadian residents in obtaining necessary dental care. Find out what the Canadian Dental Care Plan is, who is eligible and how we can assist you in taking care of your teeth.
What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a government program to help Canadian residents who do not have private dental insurance and who have a household income of below $90,000 a year. This plan bridges the gap for families and individuals who otherwise might not afford essential dental services.
Key Features of the CDCP:
- Available to households with an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000 annually.
- Designed for individuals who do not have private Canadian dental insurance.
- Includes co-payment requirements based on income levels.
- Covers a range of dental procedures but is not a free dental care program.
Understanding Co-Payments Under the CDCP
The level of support offered by the CDCP varies based on your family income. Patients will need to share in the cost of their care as follows:
- No Co-Payment: For households with an adjusted net income below $70,000.
- 40% Co-Payment: For those with an adjusted net income between $70,000 and $79,999.
- 60% Co-Payment: For households with an adjusted net income between $80,000 and $89,999.
It is important to note that the Canadian dental plan for seniors includes similar guidelines in order to make sure that there is equitable access to dental services for older adults.
What Does the CDCP Cover?
The plan covers many essential dental services, but not all treatments may be eligible. Examples of covered procedures include:
- Routine check-ups and cleanings.
- Basic restorative care like fillings.
- Extractions and other necessary dental treatments.
Before proceeding with treatment, discuss the coverage and associated costs with your CDCP dentist to avoid surprises.
