The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program designed to help eligible Canadians access dental care, especially those without private dental insurance. The CDCP covers a wide range of dental services such as exams, cleanings, fillings, and dentures, reducing or eliminating out-of-pocket costs for many patients.
One of its key advantages is flexibility. You can choose a participating dental provider like Parkway Family Dental directly, with no referral required. Some families also combine CDCP benefits with employer or pension-based dental plans for additional coverage.

The CDCP covers a wide variety of dental services, subject to eligibility rules, preauthorization, and frequency limitations. Your coverage depends on your household income and benefit start date, but here’s a general breakdown:
These services help maintain your oral health and are usually covered at set intervals as determined by CDCP guidelines.
Coverage may vary depending on the type of filling material and the tooth being restored.
Coverage for root canal re-treatments, apicoectomies, or retrofillings is limited to once per tooth per lifetime and requires preauthorization.
Coverage for root canal re-treatments, apicoectomies, or retrofillings is limited to once per tooth per lifetime and requires preauthorization.
Includes limited coverage for medically necessary orthodontic treatment beginning in 2025. Coverage applies only to specific cases that meet strict medical criteria, such as conditions that significantly affect oral health or function.
Note: Cosmetic (like whitening or veneers) or elective orthodontic treatments are not covered under the CDCP. However, we offer flexible payment options if you’d like to explore these services.
When you come in, please bring your welcome package or member card. Our billing team will review your coverage and explain any out-of-pocket amounts before treatment.
Getting started is easy:
Call, book online, or visit us in person and let us know you’re a CDCP member.
Share your plan details and benefit start date as shown in your CDCP welcome package.
Our team contacts the insurance company to confirm your eligibility and explain your established CDCP fees.
Before treatment begins, we will review any co-payments or out-of-pocket costs and ensure everything is clearly explained.
We submit your claim directly to the insurance company, so there are no forms and no stress.
Some services exceed established frequency limits and thus require preauthorization (approval in advance) to confirm coverage.
Coverage and preauthorization requirements under the CDCP are determined by Sun Life in accordance with Health Canada guidelines and may vary based on eligibility, clinical need, and service type.
CDCP will reimburse providers based on CDCP-established fees, not necessarily the full amount charged by your dentist. Providers cannot exceed those reimbursement limits for covered services.
If your adjusted family net income is between $70,000 and $89,999, you may have a co-payment (a share of the cost) for covered services.
You may also have to pay directly to the provider if:
Examples: For 2 units of scaling (30 minutes of cleaning), the CDCP established fee might be $134. If your income triggers a 40% co-payment, you would pay 40% of that fee, plus any difference between the dentist’s charge and the established fee.
Important: Patients should never pay the full cost upfront, expecting a refund from CDCP. Any out-of-pocket amount should be clearly explained and agreed in advance.
Patients trust Parkway Family Dental because we combine clinical excellence with clear communication and insurance expertise. Here’s why Windsor families choose us:

Eligibility is based on Canadian residency and adjusted family net income. The CDCP is designed to help those without private dental coverage.
Preventive, basic, and some major services are included, such as exams, cleanings, fillings, and dentures. Cosmetic services like whitening are not covered. Coverage limits, frequency rules, and preauthorization requirements may apply.
No. Individuals with private dental insurance are not eligible for the CDCP. However, provincial or territorial public programs (such as Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program or Healthy Smiles Ontario) may coordinate with CDCP, and in those cases, CDCP often acts as a primary payer.
Your out-of-pocket costs depend on your household income:
**If a dentist’s fees exceed the CDCP’s established rates or if a service is not covered, you will be responsible for the difference.
Yes. The CDCP covers eligible Canadians of all ages, including children, adults, and seniors.
