Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) Support
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a national program that helps uninsured Canadians access essential dentistry without overwhelming costs. Garden City Dental is proudly enrolled, and we guide Niagara residents through every stage—from verifying eligibility to submitting claims—so you can focus on your oral health instead of paperwork.
Who Qualifies for the CDCP?
Eligibility is based on family income, tax filings, and current dental coverage. The plan gradually opened in 2024, prioritizing seniors and vulnerable populations first. New cohorts—including children, adults with disabilities, and low-to-moderate income families—are being added throughout 2025. If you are unsure whether you qualify, our team can review the latest federal guidelines, confirm your eligibility tier, and help you submit the online application.
What Services Does the CDCP Cover?
Coverage focuses on preventive care and necessary treatment. That includes exams, X-rays, cleanings, fillings, extractions, root canal therapy on specific teeth, and limited prosthodontic services. The program uses a co-payment structure: depending on your family net income, the federal government pays between 40% and 100% of the CDCP fee guide. We will walk you through expected co-pays and provide pre-treatment estimates so finances never catch you off guard.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply for the CDCP?
Applications are submitted through the federal government. We can walk you through the online form, help gather required documents, and confirm your income tier before you apply.
What if I already have private insurance?
You must be without other dental coverage to qualify for the CDCP. If your private benefits end, you can apply for the program once the change is reflected on your tax profile.
Do I have to pay anything at my visit?
Depending on your family income, co-pays may range from 0% to 60% of the CDCP fee guide. We provide estimates in advance so you know exactly what to budget.
