Canadian Dental Care Plan Dentist in Burlington
CDCP Support at Burlington Dental Studio
At Burlington Dental Studio, we help eligible patients understand and use their Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) benefits for dental care in Burlington, Ontario.
The CDCP is a federal dental benefit designed to help eligible Canadian residents access oral health care when they do not have private dental insurance. Coverage depends on eligibility, household income, the CDCP fee schedule, and the type of dental treatment needed. It may not cover 100% of every appointment or service.
Our Burlington dental team, led by Dr. Ali Abdullah, DDS, can help you review your CDCP information, understand possible co-payments, and submit eligible claims through the CDCP process.
Call us today or request your appointment online.
What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan, also called the CDCP, helps cover part of the cost of eligible dental services for qualifying Canadian residents. The program is designed for people who do not have access to private dental insurance and meet the Government of Canada’s eligibility requirements.
The CDCP may help with eligible preventive, diagnostic, restorative, endodontic, periodontal, prosthodontic, and oral surgery services when recommended by an oral health provider. Coverage varies by patient, service, and CDCP rules.
In simple terms, CDCP may help eligible patients with:
- Dental exams
- Dental X-rays
- Dental cleanings
- Fillings
- Root canal treatments
- Certain extractions
- Dentures and other eligible services
- Some services that may require preauthorization
The CDCP does not automatically mean dental care is free. Some patients may have co-payments or additional charges depending on income level, coverage rules, and the treatment provided.
Who May Qualify for CDCP?
You may qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan if you meet the Government of Canada’s eligibility requirements. To apply for CDCP, you generally must:
- Not have access to private dental insurance
- Have an adjusted family net income under $90,000
- Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes
- Have filed your most recent tax return, and have your spouse or common-law partner file if applicable
Eligibility is determined by the CDCP program, not by the dental clinic. Our team can help you understand what information to bring to your appointment, but we cannot guarantee eligibility, approval, or coverage.
How CDCP Co-Payments Work
CDCP coverage is based partly on adjusted family net income. Some patients may have no co-payment for eligible services, while others may be responsible for a portion of the cost.
| Adjusted Family Net Income | CDCP Coverage Level | Patient Co-Payment |
| Under $70,000 | 100% of eligible CDCP fees | 0% |
| $70,000–$79,999 | 60% of eligible CDCP fees | 40% |
| $80,000–$89,999 | 40% of eligible CDCP fees | 60% |
Patients may still be responsible for:
- Co-payments
- Services not covered by CDCP
- Treatment that requires preauthorization
- Any difference between CDCP fees and clinic fees, where applicable
At Burlington Dental Studio, our team can review your available CDCP information before treatment so you understand your estimated portion whenever possible.
