What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan and how does it work?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a federal government program that helps low and middle-income Canadians pay for dental treatment they might otherwise put off. It is run by Health Canada and administered through Sun Life. Depending on your household income, it covers between 40% and 100% of approved dental costs. As a registered CDCP dental practice in Toronto, our clinic handles all the paperwork and bills Sun Life directly so you never have to deal with it yourself.
CDCP renewals are now open for 2026 to 2027
If you already have Canadian Dental Care Plan coverage, now is the time to renew. The renewal window runs from April 15 to June 1, 2026, and your current coverage stays active until June 30, 2026. Miss the deadline and your coverage ends on that date, which means any dental work you get before a new application is approved will not be covered or reimbursed. The CDCP is an annual plan, so every member has to confirm their eligibility each year to keep things running smoothly.
The good news is that the requirements are the same ones you met the first time around. You still need to be a Canadian resident for tax purposes, have no access to private dental insurance, have an adjusted family net income under $90,000, and have filed your most recent tax return with the CRA. If you are not sure whether anything has changed on your end, give us a call at (647) 930-5884 and we will walk you through it before you start.

Questions we hear from CDCP patients in Danforth
Are you searching for a reliable Canadian Dental Care Plan near me? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear.

CDCP is a public dental benefit, not private insurance. It offers partial or full coverage depending on your income level and is administered through the government and Sun Life.
How much of my dental costs are covered?
Coverage is based on a sliding scale. Those with lower incomes receive more coverage (up to 100%), while others may pay a co-payment. The exact amount depends on your annual income.
What if I already have dental insurance?
If you have any private dental insurance, you are not eligible for the CDCP, even if your plan doesn’t cover everything.
How do I apply for the CDCP?
If you’re eligible, you should receive a letter from the Government of Canada or Sun Life inviting you to apply. You can also visit the official Canada.ca website to check your eligibility and apply online.
