No Access to Private Dental Coverage
You must not have access to private dental insurance or coverage through employment, a pension plan, family member, or another qualifying private source.
CDCP at Mackenzie Smiles
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program designed to help make eligible oral health care more affordable for Canadian residents who do not have access to private dental insurance.
Mackenzie Smiles Dentistry welcomes CDCP patients in Richmond Hill. Our team can help you understand your available coverage before treatment and discuss any costs that may remain your responsibility. You can also explore our dental services before requesting your visit.
Contact our team before your visit so we can confirm your active coverage and discuss the dental care you are considering.
CDCP Eligibility
The Government of Canada currently requires applicants to meet all four of the following eligibility requirements.
You must not have access to private dental insurance or coverage through employment, a pension plan, family member, or another qualifying private source.
You and your spouse or common-law partner, if applicable, must have filed the required Canadian tax return.
Your adjusted family net income must currently be less than $90,000.
You must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes and meet the program's other eligibility requirements.
Dental Coverage
The CDCP covers a range of eligible oral health services. Coverage is determined according to the plan's rules, frequency limits, clinical criteria, and your individual benefit status.
Some treatments may require preauthorization before the CDCP confirms coverage. Not every dental procedure is included in the program.
Understanding Your Costs
The percentage covered by the CDCP is based on your adjusted family net income and applies to the CDCP-established fee for an eligible service.
| Adjusted Family Net Income | CDCP Portion | Your CDCP Co-Payment |
|---|---|---|
| Less than $70,000 | Up to 100% of the CDCP-established fee | 0% of the CDCP-established fee |
| $70,000 – $79,999 | 60% of the CDCP-established fee | 40% of the CDCP-established fee |
| $80,000 – $89,999 | 40% of the CDCP-established fee | 60% of the CDCP-established fee |
Important: Even when the CDCP covers 100% of its established fee, you may still have an amount to pay if the dental office fee is higher than the CDCP-established fee or if you choose a service that is not covered by the plan. Our team can discuss expected costs with you before treatment.
Using Your CDCP Benefits
A few simple steps can help you better understand your coverage before receiving dental care.
Check your current CDCP benefit status and coverage start date before booking treatment.
Let our team know that you are a CDCP member. You can contact Mackenzie Smiles Dentistry before your visit if you have questions.
Before treatment, discuss what the CDCP may cover, whether preauthorization is needed, and whether any co-payment or additional amount may apply.
Important to Know
Your individual coverage depends on your active benefit status, income-based co-payment, eligible services, CDCP-established fees, and program rules.
