Wallaceburg Family Dental is proud to support the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) — a national initiative aimed at making dental care more affordable and accessible for eligible Canadians. If you qualify, your dental services may be fully or partially covered through this federal program. Our team is here to guide you through the process, help you apply, and ensure you receive the care you deserve.
What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The CDCP is a federally funded dental benefit designed to ease the financial burden of essential oral health care. It offers coverage for a wide range of dental services to Canadians who meet specific eligibility criteria. The plan is being rolled out in phases, with full implementation expected by 2025.
Do You Qualify?
You may be eligible for the CDCP if:
- You do not have access to dental insurance (private, employer, or pension-based)
- Your adjusted family net income is under $90,000 per year
- You are a Canadian resident
- You have filed your taxes for the previous year
How to Apply
You can apply for the CDCP online through the [Government of Canada website](https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/dental.html) or by phone via Service Canada.
**To apply, you’ll need:**
- A valid Social Insurance Number (SIN)
- Proof of income (your tax filing must be up to date)
- Canadian residency details
Once approved, you’ll receive a benefits card in the mail that allows you to access covered dental services.
Need help with the application? Our friendly team at Wallaceburg Family Dental is happy to assist — just give us a call or stop by the office.
Renewing Your Coverage
CDCP coverage must be renewed annually. You’ll need to continue meeting the eligibility criteria and ensure your taxes are filed each year. Renewal reminders are typically sent by the Government of Canada.
If you have questions about your renewal or eligibility, we’re here to help.

- Routine exams and cleanings
