Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)

Affordable Dental Care at Vega Dental Clinic in Burnaby, BC

At Vega Dental Clinic, we’re proud to support patients through the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a federal initiative designed to make essential dental care more accessible and affordable for eligible Canadians.

As a trusted family dental clinic serving Burnaby and surrounding communities, our team is here to help you understand, access, and use your CDCP benefits with confidence and care.

What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a government program that helps cover the cost of essential dental services for qualifying residents of Canada. The goal of the CDCP is to lower financial barriers so more people get timely dental care — from routine checkups to restorative treatments without delay. Canada

Who Can Apply?

To be eligible for the CDCP, applicants must meet criteria set by the Government of Canada. Key points include:

Age groups: Priority is given to children, seniors, and adults with qualifying disabilities.
Adults (18–64): Coverage opens for all adults aged 18–64 in stages, with eligibility beginning as of 2025.
Income Requirements: The program supports individuals and families with lower to moderate incomes, with a maximum qualifying income up to $90,000.
Disability Status: Adults with a valid Disability Tax Credit (DTC) certificate get priority access.

The CDCP uses adjusted family net income to determine coverage levels and co-payment amounts. The plan is structured to help those who need it most.

What Dental Services Are Covered?

Under the CDCP, eligible patients can receive a range of dental care services, including:

Preventive and Diagnostic

Routine exams and dental checkups
X-rays and imaging

Dental sealants to help protect teeth
