Stop searching for a generic “CDCP dentist near me”—your trusted Scarborough family dentist [Internal Link: /homepage] is ready to serve you.
A key benefit of the CDCP is that, for the lowest eligible income bracket, the plan may cover up to 100% of the cost for covered services.
To be eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan, you must meet several criteria set by the federal government:
Adjusted Family Net Income: Your family’s net income must be less than $90,000.
Lack of Insurance: You must not have access to private dental insurance (through an employer, a family member’s employer, or a purchased plan).
Residency Status: You must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes and have filed your tax return for the previous year.
Application Status: As of May 2025, applications for the CDCP have expanded to include all eligible Canadians aged 18 to 64, alongside the initial groups of seniors, children under 18, and those with a Disability Tax Credit certificate.
Next Step: You must have received confirmation of enrollment and your start date from the government before booking your appointment with us.
For all application details, eligibility criteria, and income thresholds, please visit the official Government of Canada CDCP website.
Once your coverage is confirmed, you can use your benefits at AF Dental for a wide array of necessary treatments, including:
Preventive Care: Regular exams, teeth cleanings, scaling, polishing, and fluoride treatments.
Restorative Treatments: Permanent and temporary fillings.
Oral Surgery: Extractions, including complex Wisdom Teeth Extractions [Internal Link: /oral-surgery-page].
Endodontic & Periodontal: Root canal treatments and procedures for gum disease management.

The CDCP covers a wide range of oral health services to help maintain healthy teeth and gums, including:
Applications are managed by Service Canada. Most eligible residents can apply online through the official Government of Canada website. Once your application is approved, Sun Life (the program administrator) will send you a welcome package and a member card.
You should visit an oral health provider who has agreed to participate in the CDCP. Before booking your appointment, always confirm with the dental office that they are accepting CDCP patients and are able to bill Sun Life directly for the covered portion of your treatment.
Pre-authorization is a process where your dentist submits a treatment plan to the CDCP for approval before the work is done. This is usually required for more complex or costly procedures, such as crowns or initial partial dentures. Your dentist will let you know if a service requires this step to ensure it is covered by the plan.
