What Patients Should Know
Key CDCP facts for dental patients in Toronto
The Canadian Dental Care Plan can make routine and necessary oral health care more affordable for eligible patients, but it is important to understand that this is not the same as unlimited full-coverage dental insurance. The CDCP works within established federal rules, covered service categories, fee schedules, and preauthorization requirements.
If you are looking for a CDCP dentist in Yorkville, Toronto, the most important step is to confirm that your coverage is active, understand your start date, and ask about any co-payment or additional fees before treatment begins.
Official guidance currently emphasizes:
Eligibility depends on current Government of Canada requirements, including insurance and income-related criteria.
Covered services can include preventive, diagnostic, restorative, endodontic, periodontal, oral surgery, denture, and some sedation-related care.
Some services may require preauthorization before the plan will cover them.
The CDCP may not pay the entire amount charged for treatment in every case.
Patients should ask about any out-of-pocket amount before moving ahead with care.

Go to Book AppointmentCosts and Co-Payments
The CDCP may reduce costs, but it may not remove every cost
One of the biggest sources of confusion for dental patients is assuming the CDCP means every appointment is fully free. Current Government of Canada guidance makes clear that the plan may involve co-payments based on adjusted family net income, and it may not pay the full difference if provider fees are above CDCP established fees.
Current official co-payment tiers
Adjusted family net income below $70,000: current federal guidance says the plan covers 100 percent of eligible service costs at CDCP established fees, with a 0 percent co-payment at those fees.
Adjusted family net income from $70,000 to $79,999: current federal guidance says the plan covers 60 percent of eligible service costs at CDCP established fees, with a 40 percent co-payment.
Adjusted family net income from $80,000 to $89,999: current federal guidance says the plan covers 40 percent of eligible service costs at CDCP established fees, with a 60 percent co-payment.
Patients may also face additional costs when provider fees are higher than CDCP established fees or when they choose services the CDCP does not cover.

Common questions about the Canadian Dental Care Plan
These questions stay focused on CDCP intent and help patients move into new patient information, contact, and booking.
Book an AppointmentWhat is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan, often called the CDCP, is a federal dental program designed to help eligible Canadian residents access oral health care when they do not have private dental insurance. It can help pay a portion of the cost of covered dental services based on current Government of Canada rules.
Does the CDCP cover all dental treatment in full?
No. The CDCP can help with covered dental services, but it may not pay the full amount in every situation. Your costs can depend on your adjusted family net income, the CDCP fee guide, the treatment recommended, preauthorization rules, and whether a service is outside plan coverage.
Who may qualify for the CDCP?
Eligibility is set by the Government of Canada. In general, people should review the current Canada.ca dental requirements around residency, tax filing, lack of access to dental insurance, and income-based eligibility. Because program rules can be updated, patients should confirm the latest criteria directly with the federal program.
What dental services are commonly covered under the CDCP?
According to current federal guidance, covered services can include exams, x-rays, cleanings, fluoride, sealants, fillings, some root canal treatment, gum disease treatment, extractions, dentures, and certain sedation or major services in specific cases. Some treatments may require preauthorization before they are covered.
Can I book a CDCP appointment at Dentistry on 66?
Yes. If you believe you are eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan, our Yorkville dental team can help you book an exam, cleaning, consultation, or follow-up visit. We still recommend confirming your active coverage status, start date, and any expected out-of-pocket amount before treatment begins.
Will I have a co-payment under the CDCP?
Possibly. Current federal guidance explains that some patients may have a co-payment based on adjusted family net income, and some may also have additional charges if their provider fees are above CDCP established fees or if they choose services not covered by the plan.
Do I need preauthorization for some services?
Yes. Certain dental services under the CDCP may require preauthorization before treatment is covered. That means the provider submits information and the plan confirms whether the proposed treatment is approved under CDCP rules.
Where should I verify the most current CDCP information?
Patients should always verify the latest official details on the Government of Canada CDCP pages, especially for eligibility, application steps, renewal rules, co-payments, and covered services. Program details can change over time.
