Canadian Dental Care Plan

AFFORDABLE DENTISTRY FOR ALL CANADIANS

At Tanzil Dental & Associates, we are proud to support the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a national program designed to improve access to dental care for eligible Canadians who do not have private dental insurance. The CDCP provides financial support to help cover the cost of essential dental services, making oral health care more affordable for individuals and families across different income levels.



The program is available to Canadian residents with an adjusted annual family net income under $90,000. It aims to remove financial barriers to care and promote better oral health, especially for those who have traditionally struggled to afford dental services.

What Does The Canadian Dental Care Plan Cover?

The CDCP offers a broad range of dental services, including:


  • Preventive care: Cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants to protect against cavities and gum disease
  • Diagnostic services: Dental examinations, x-rays, assessments
  • Restorative services: Fillings, root canals, dentures
  • Periodontal services: Treatments for gum disease, including deep cleaning and abscess care
  • Oral surgery: Extractions and certain surgical procedures for tumors or fractures
  • Orthodontic services: Limited coverage available under strict medical criteria


Some services may require preauthorization to ensure they meet the plan’s clinical guidelines. The CDCP pays according to its own fee schedule, which may differ from provincial or territorial dental fee guides. Patients may be responsible for any cost differences.
