What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government initiative designed to help reduce financial barriers to dental care for Canadian residents. If you have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000 and do not have access to private or employer-sponsored dental insurance, you may be eligible for coverage under the CDCP.

The program is being rolled out in phases, prioritizing seniors, persons with disabilities, children under 18, and eventually expanding to all eligible Canadians. At Bella Dental Clinic, we believe everyone deserves access to quality dental care — and the CDCP helps make that a reality.

“We’re proud to support this initiative. Access to dental care shouldn’t depend on your income — it’s a fundamental part of overall health and wellbeing.”

— Dr. Adey Abeba Tsegaye, DMD, Bella Dental Clinic

As an approved CDCP provider, we handle the billing directly with Sun Life (the plan administrator), so you can focus on your dental health without worrying about paperwork or unexpected costs.

This is especially helpful for seniors or persons with disabilities who may need assistance. Please inquire on how Bella Dental Clinic can help you with your application.

No. The interim Canada Dental Benefit (CDB) was a temporary program for children under 12, providing direct payments to families.
