Balancing accessibility and affordability for your dental care needs.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan combines private insurance and public coverage to meet the needs of various demographics. Provincial health plans often cover basic dental care for children, while adults typically rely on private insurance or out-of-pocket payments. Low-income individuals may access public programs or subsidized services. Preventive care, like cleanings and check-ups, is commonly included, while more extensive treatments, such as fillings or extractions, may require co-payments or full payment. While the plan strives to balance accessibility and affordability, some gaps in coverage remain, particularly for specialized treatments and certain groups.
HOUSEHOLD INCOME | HOW MUCH WILL THE CDCP COVER? |
---|---|
Under $70,000 | 100% of eligible oral health care service costs |
$70,000 to $79,999 | 60% of eligible oral health care service costs |
$80,000 to $89,999 | 40% of eligible oral health care service costs |
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers a wide range of services, including cleanings, fluoride treatments, exams, x-rays, fillings, root canals, dentures, and gum health treatments like deep scaling. Oral surgery, such as extractions and procedures for tumors or fractures, is also included, with limited orthodontic care under strict criteria. Some services may require preauthorization, and additional costs may apply. For full details, consult the CDCP Dental Benefits Guide.
