If you are in Calgary and need dentures, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) could be a way for you to access affordable, quality care. North East Denture Clinic is proud to be part of this national program to help you get dental coverage for dentures without worrying about costs.
Our team is on hand to help you, whether you are seeking full dentures, partials or adjustments.
What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
CDCP is a federal program for dental benefits for Canadian households with no access to private dental insurance. The program aims to provide simple access to essential dental care (including dentures) for households in the low- and middle-income brackets.
Presently, all eligible Canadians can apply for the CDCP. You can check if you qualify for the CDCP on the qualifying page provided by the federal government for the CDCP program.
To be qualified, you must be:
- Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes
- Have an adjusted family net income under $90,000
- Have no access to private dental insurance plans that cover dentures
- Have filed your taxes for the previous year
Once enrolled, patients will be provided a Sun Life CDCP card to be used at participating denture clinics like ours.
Does CDCP Cover Dentures?
Yes! Dentures are a major part of the CDCP’s coverage. This includes:
- Complete and partial dentures (upper and lower)
- Immediate dentures
- Flexible and flipper dentures
- Overdentures (excluding implants)
- Adjustments, relines, and repairs
This plan helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients, especially those seeking dental insurance for dentures but unable to afford traditional plans.
Coverage Breakdown by Income
The amount CDCP covers depends on your household income:
| Income Range | CDCP Coverage | Patient Portion |
|---|---|---|
| Under $70,000 | 100% | $0 |
| $70,000 – $79,999 | 60% | 40% |
| $80,000 – $89,999 | 40% | 60% |
| $90,000 and above | Not eligible | — |
Keep in mind: if a clinic charges more than the CDCP’s approved rate, you may need to cover the difference.
