The CDCP has developed their own fee guide, which determines the fees the CDCP will pay for services covered under the plan. These fees can differ from provincial or territorial fee guides.
Not all patients will receive complete financial assistance through the CDCP due to required co-payments, so it is important to ask about costs not covered by the plan. These co-payments are the portion of treatment costs you would be expected to cover out of pocket, and the percentage is determined by your family's net annual income shown on the previous year's tax return. Co-payment or fees not covered are paid directly to the dental office.
Applications can be submitted through the Government of Canada Website . Those who cannot apply online, can apply by phone: 1-833-537-4342. For TTY call 1-833-677-6262.
Once you have applied, Health Canada will confirm your eligibility and share your information with Sun Life to enroll you in the plan. You will receive a welcome package from Sun Life within three months of your application, which will include:

CDCP requires annual renewal to confirm that patients continue to meet all eligibility requirements. Renewing ensures you avoid any gaps in your dental coverage. Once you receive your 2024 tax assessment you can renew your coverage online here or through your My Service Canada Account (MSCA). Be sure to submit your renewal application by June 1, 2025, to prevent any potential lapse in coverage.
If your renewal is approved, you’ll get a letter confirming your coverage and any updates, valid until June 30, 2026. If your coverage has changed based on your 2024 net family income, the letter will include details about the changes to your coverage. Just bring it to your next dental visit so your provider is up to date.
