Canadian Dental Care Plan

At Archibald Dental Centre we want to help ease financial barriers to accessing oral health care for eligible Canadian residents. You may qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). See more information below.

Those who will be eligible for the program will need to fit the following criteria:

1. No private dental insurance plan
2. Annual household income under $90,000
3. Canadian resident
4. Have filed taxes for the previous year

The Government of Canada is doing a phased rollout of the plan, meaning that people are able to submit applications for enrolment in the program in different groups:

1. Age 65+, adults with a disability credit and children under 18: now eligible
2. All other Canadian residents can apply for the program after May 2025

Once accepted and enrolled, What do I do?

Plan members will receive a package which will include a benefits card. This package will also include the members start date with the program – this start date will vary based on enrolment/acceptance date and any treatment completed prior to the start date will not be reimbursed by the program. The earliest start date will be May 2024.

What will be covered?

CDCP covers only approved procedures at set fees, which may differ from the Manitoba Dental Association (MDA) fee guide that most Manitoba dental offices, including ours, follow.
