CDCP Information for Patients

What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program that helps cover the cost of essential dental services for eligible Canadians without private insurance.

At Mississauga Dental Partners, we help patients across Mississauga and the GTA access an affordable dentist through this program – so cost doesn’t stand in the way of your oral health.

  • Your adjusted family net income is less than $90,000
  • You are a Canadian resident for tax purposes
  • You and your spouse/common-law partner (if applicable) must have filed your tax returns in Canada so that your family income can be assessed for the previous year
