If you are looking for a clinic that accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan in Leduc, AB, our team can help you understand how your coverage applies and what costs, if any, you may need to pay before treatment begins.
What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program designed to make oral health care more affordable for eligible Canadian residents who do not have access to private dental insurance.
The CDCP helps cover part or all of the CDCP-established fee for eligible dental services. The amount covered depends partly on your adjusted family net income, and some treatments have coverage limits or require preauthorization.
The CDCP is not necessarily the same as free dental care. Depending on your income, the treatment you receive, and the fees involved, you may still have an amount to pay.

Who Qualifies for the CDCP?
To qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan, you must meet all four federal eligibility requirements:
No Access to Private Dental Insurance
You cannot have access to private dental coverage through employment, a pension, a family member, a professional or student organization, or a privately purchased plan.
Filed Your Tax Return
You and your spouse or common-law partner, if applicable, must have filed the required Canadian tax returns.
Adjusted Family Net Income Below $90,000
Your eligibility and co-payment level are based on your adjusted family net income.
Canadian Residency
You must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes.
Having coverage through certain provincial, territorial, or federal government social programs does not necessarily prevent you from qualifying. In some situations, benefits may be coordinated between programs.
A Note for Seniors
Seniors who meet the eligibility requirements can receive CDCP coverage. The amount paid by the plan follows the same income-based rules that apply to other eligible members.
If you have been postponing dental care because you do not have private dental insurance, contact Deer Valley Dental once your CDCP coverage is active. We can help you understand how your benefits may apply to the care you need.
Using the CDCP at Deer Valley Dental
At Deer Valley Dental, we accept patients covered through the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Before treatment, we can review whether the planned service is eligible under your current coverage and explain any known co-payments or additional charges.
Depending on your oral health needs and coverage, eligible services may include examinations, X-rays, cleanings, fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, dentures, and other dental care. Some services have frequency limits or require preauthorization.
We will discuss your treatment recommendations and expected costs with you before moving forward so you can make an informed decision about your care.
What Dental Services Does the CDCP Cover?
The CDCP covers a range of oral health services intended to prevent and treat oral disease. Coverage depends on the service, your eligibility, applicable frequency limits, and whether preauthorization is required.
Covered services may include:
Diagnostic Care
Dental examinations, X-rays, and certain diagnostic services.
Preventive Care
Dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and other eligible preventive services.
Restorative Care
Certain fillings and other treatments used to repair damaged teeth.
Root Canal Treatment
Eligible endodontic procedures may be covered when plan requirements are met.
Gum Care
Certain periodontal services may qualify for coverage.
Dentures
Some removable prosthodontic services are included.
Oral Surgery
Eligible extractions and other oral surgery services may be covered.
Sedation and Related Services
Certain services may qualify when CDCP criteria are met.
Some procedures require preauthorization before treatment. Approval depends on the program’s coverage criteria, and not every requested service will necessarily be covered.

Applying for the CDCP is free. Be cautious of anyone asking you to pay a fee to apply or renew your coverage.
CDCP Billing and Co-Payments
How much you pay depends partly on your adjusted family net income:
Below $70,000
The CDCP covers 100% of the CDCP-established fees for eligible services. You have a 0% co-payment on those established fees.
$70,000 to $79,999
The CDCP covers 60% of eligible services at CDCP-established fees, while you are responsible for a 40% co-payment.
$80,000 to $89,999
The CDCP covers 40% of eligible services at CDCP-established fees, while you are responsible for a 60% co-payment.
Even if your adjusted family net income is below $70,000, this does not always mean your appointment will cost $0. Additional charges may apply if the clinic fee is higher than the CDCP-established fee or if a service is not covered by the plan.
Our team will help you understand any known costs before proceeding with treatment.
