How Does the CDCP Work?
The CDCP helps Canadians pay for essential dental services based on their family income:
- Income under $70,000: You only pay the difference between what the CDCP covers and the fees outlined in your BC fee guide.
- Income between $70,000 and $79,999: You cover 40% of your dental costs.
- Income between $80,000 and $89,999: You cover 60% of your dental costs.
Not all treatments are covered under the Canadian dental care plan. To avoid unexpected costs, it’s wise to check which procedures are included in the plan before beginning your dental care.
