Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) in Oakville & Mississauga: Everything You Need to Know

If you have been avoiding the dentist because of the cost, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) may cover more of your care than you think. The federal government's dental coverage program has expanded significantly, and Moonstone Dental Centre in Oakville is proud to be a participating provider. We now accept CDCP patients and provide direct billing for eligible individuals across Oakville, Mississauga, River Oaks, Iroquois Ridge, College Park, Clearview, Winston Park, Sheridan, Erin Mills, and Clarkson.

This guide explains who qualifies for the CDCP, what it covers, and how to use your benefits at Moonstone Dental Centre.

What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government program designed to help Canadians who do not have private dental insurance access essential dental care. It is administered by Health Canada and Sun Life Financial. The program aims to reduce the financial barriers that prevent millions of Canadians from receiving the dental care they need. For full details on the CDCP, visit the Government of Canada CDCP page (link: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/dental/dental-care-plan.html).

Who Qualifies for the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

To be eligible for the CDCP, you must meet all of the following criteria:

• You are a Canadian resident with a valid Social Insurance Number (SIN)
• You do not have access to any private dental insurance plan (including through an employer, pension, or other benefits program)
• Your adjusted family net income is under $90,000 per year
• You have filed your most recent tax return (CRA uses your tax information to verify eligibility)

Coverage is available for children under 18, seniors aged 65 and over, and adults with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate. As of May 2025, coverage has also expanded to adults aged 18 to 64 who meet the income requirements.

What Does the CDCP Cover?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers a range of essential dental services. Coverage is partial and based on your income:

• No co-payment if your adjusted annual family income is below $70,000
• A 40 percent co-payment for household incomes between $70,000 and $79,999
• A 60 percent co-payment for household incomes between $80,000 and $89,999

Covered services typically include preventive care such as cleanings, exams, and X-rays, as well as basic restorative services including fillings, extractions, and root canals. Specific coverage may vary — contact Moonstone Dental Centre or visit our CDCP information page (link: https://www.moonstonedental.com/canadian-dental-care-plan) for the most current coverage details.
