What dental procedures are covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

The CDCP covers a variety of dental procedures, including basic cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth), and root canals. It also covers dentures, both full and partial, as well as immediate dentures following extractions.

Does the CDCP cover dental cleanings?

Yes, the CDCP covers one hour of dental cleaning per year. This typically covers a single cleaning appointment, but additional cleanings may require a small fee.

Are dental implants covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

No, dental implants are not covered under the CDCP. However, the plan does cover dentures (both full and partial), and our clinic offers 0% financing for dental implants, orthodontics, and other complex procedures.

What is the coverage for dentures under the CDCP?

The CDCP covers full dentures when you have no teeth left, partial dentures (with pre-approval), and immediate dentures after tooth extractions. However, fixed options like dental implants and bridges are not covered.

Can I book a visit at Tinto Dentistry if I have the CDCP?

Yes! At Tinto Dentistry, we accept CDCP patients and only charge the fees covered by the plan. If you're approved for 100% coverage, in most cases, there will be no additional cost to you.

3 Important Things You Need to Know About the New CDCP Plan

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is here to help make dental care more affordable for millions of Canadians. But what exactly does it cover—and what should you expect?

Here are the 3 most important things to know:

1. It has some coverage for dental cleanings —But it is limited.

The CDCP covers one hour of dental cleaning per year.

Here’s what that means:

So the plan will generally fully cover 1 cleaning per year
A typical cleaning appointment is 35–45 minutes long
Most people need 2 cleanings per year, so you may need to pay a small fee for the second one

It’s still a big help—but just know it won’t usually cover everything when it comes to your hygiene visits.

2. It Covers from Basic dentistry to more Complex Dental Work- with some exceptions

The CDCP covers:

Basic fillings/ cavities on each tooth once every two years. This can help fix broken teeth, teeth with cavities or chipped front teeth.
Tooth Extractions: Simple and complex tooth extractions, including Wisdom teeth are covered under the CDCP plan!
Root canals: As long as the tooth is in good shape, a root canal can help get someone out of pain and remove infections from the mouth.

This is especially helpful for anyone nervous about getting dental work due to the cost. If you’ve been putting off important procedures like a root canal or an extraction because of price, this plan can help get you back on track—without the financial stress.

3. It Can Replace Missing Teeth—But Only with Dentures

If you’re missing teeth, the CDCP does include tooth replacement options—but only dentures are covered at this time.

That includes:

Full dentures- when you have no teeth left in the mouth. We can get started on this Right away without a pre-authorization.
Partial dentures: this requires us to apply with all your records for pre-approval. Our Doctors can assess if you would be eligible at a consultation appointment.
Immediate dentures after extractions. If you have to get a front tooth removed, the CDCP plan will cover an immediate denture so you dont have to walk around without a tooth!

Unfortunately, it’s important to know that non removable (meaning fixed in your mouth options) such as dental implants and bridges are not covered under this plan.

However, we offer 0% financing options for more complex dentistry such as orthodontics, dental implants and bridges/ “caps”.
