CDCP 
in Winnipeg

The out-of-pocket expenses associated with dental care represent an insurmountable barrier for many individuals and families, but the federal government's recently established Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) aims to change that. As a CDCP provider, East Kildonan Dental Group is proud to accept CDCP coverage and offer a wide variety of essential dental services to eligible patients through the plan.

If you are enrolled in the CDCP or believe you may be eligible to receive dental coverage through the program, our friendly and knowledgeable team at East Kildonan Dental Group will be more than happy to assist you. We are dedicated to helping everyone in our community access oral health services and are always available to answer any questions you may have along the way.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program designed to remove financial barriers to high-quality dental care. Through the initiative, eligible Canadian residents can receive financial assistance for a wide variety of essential oral health services. In order to qualify for coverage under the CDCP, you must meet all 4 of the following requirements:

  -You do not have access to dental insurance.
  -You file your tax returns in Canada (this information is used to assess your income).
  -Your adjusted family net income is less than $90,000.
  -You are a Canadian resident for tax purposes.

CDCP coverage is currently available to adults over the age of 65, children under the age of 18, and adults with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate. Sometime in 2025, the program is expected to open up to all eligible adults between the ages of 19-64.

The CDCP improves access to oral health care by covering a portion of the costs associated with a wide variety of essential dental treatments including teeth cleanings, check-ups, fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, and more. The amount of coverage provided by the CDCP is determined by the income level of the patient, with the highest level of coverage representing 74% of the provincial fee guide's prices for dental procedures (note that this percentage is what is referred to as "100% coverage of eligible oral health care service costs" on the CDCP website). This means that all CDCP patients must still pay for a portion of dental treatments out of pocket.

At EK Dental Group, we recognize the importance of affordable, accessible oral health care for everyone in our community and proudly accept CDCP coverage.
