Canadian Dental Care Plan Near You
At Delta Dental, we feel it is important to help all individuals maintain a healthy smile, regardless of financial means or degree of insurance. That’s why we’re pleased to endorse the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and help qualified Canadians in Red Deer receive high-quality dental services at a cost-effective cost. If you need a dentist in Red Deer or help with applying to the CDCP, you can rely on us to guide you through the process.
What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a government initiative granting uninsured Canadians access to needed dental care. If your adjusted family net income is less than $90,000 and you do not have any employer-sponsored or private dental insurance, you might be eligible for partial or complete payment of most dental treatments. With Delta Dental, our welcoming staff will determine if you qualify, complete your application and obtain the treatment you require.
Who Can Apply?
You may be eligible for the CDCP if:
- You are a Canadian resident
- You have no private dental insurance.
- Your adjusted family net income is under $90,000
Applications are open
- Eligible Canadians of all ages can apply.
Understanding Co-Payments and Coverage
The amount of dental care covered depends on your income:
| Sr No | Adjusted Family Net Income | CDCP Coverage |
| 1 | Lower than $70,000 | 100% of eligible costs covered |
| 2 | $70,000–$79,999 | 60% of eligible costs covered |
| 3 | $80,000–$89,999 | 40% of eligible costs covered |
What Dental Services Are Covered?
The CDCP includes a comprehensive range of dental services, including
- Exams and professional cleanings
- X-rays
- Fillings and extractions

What happens if the treatment I need isn’t fully covered by the CDCP?
In cases where the CDCP fee guide doesn’t match the actual procedure cost, you may need to pay the difference. Delta Dental will provide a clear cost estimate upfront and help you understand all your options.
