CDCP Hamilton — Canadian Dental Care Plan for Hamilton Residents

Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) — Now Accepted in Hamilton

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government program that provides dental coverage for eligible Canadians who do not have access to private dental insurance. At Red Rose Dentistry in Hamilton, we are proud to accept CDCP patients and help Hamilton residents access the dental care they need and deserve.

Who Is Eligible for the CDCP in Hamilton?

As of 2024–2025, the CDCP is available to Canadian residents who:

• Have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000 per year
• Do not have access to private dental insurance
• Are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or protected person
• File an annual tax return (required for income verification)

Eligible groups include seniors (65+), adults with disabilities (Disability Tax Credit), children under 18, and as the plan expands, additional Canadians with qualifying incomes.

What Dental Services Are Covered Under CDCP?

Coverage under the CDCP includes a range of essential and preventive dental services, such as:

• Oral exams and X-rays
• Preventive cleanings and fluoride treatments
• Fillings (tooth-coloured composites)
• Tooth extractions
• Root canal treatment
• Dentures (full and partial)
• Some oral surgery procedures

Coverage amounts vary based on your family income, and some cost-sharing (co-payment) may apply. Our Hamilton team will walk you through exactly what is covered at your appointment.
