We Welcome CDCP PatientsAt Tooth Room Dental, Newmarket
Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) at Tooth Room, Newmarket
Whether you already have CDCP coverage or are exploring the program, you’re welcome at Tooth Room Dental. Below, you’ll find clear guidance on eligibility, services that may be covered, and how our team can help you prepare for your visit.
Am I Eligible?
To apply for CDCP, you must meet all four requirements below. This is a starting point, not an eligibility decision; the federal program determines whether you qualify.
No Access To Private Dental Coverage
You must not have access to private dental insurance or coverage, including through work, a pension, a family member, or a privately purchased plan.
Required Tax Returns Filed
You and your spouse or common-law partner, if applicable, must have filed the required Canadian tax returns for the previous year.
Adjusted Family Net Income Below $90,000
The program uses your adjusted family net income—not just one person’s earnings—to assess this requirement.
Canadian Residency For Tax Purposes
You and your spouse or common-law partner, if applicable, must be Canadian residents for tax purposes.
Having access to private dental coverage can make you ineligible even if you do not use it or choose not to enrol. Official guidance explains the exceptions and how to check your situation.
Coverage through a government social program does not automatically exclude you. If eligible, your plans may coordinate benefits.
Read the full requirements on Canada.ca, then follow the official application steps. You do not need to enter personal or financial information on this page.
What Is Covered?
CDCP may help cover the services below when recommended by your dental provider. Coverage is subject to eligibility, clinical criteria, frequency limits, and any required approvals. These examples are not a guarantee of coverage for an individual treatment.
Fillings
Permanent and temporary fillings to treat cavities or damaged teeth.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment and related care for infected or damaged teeth.
Gum Care
Cleaning below the gumline and nonsurgical gum-disease management.
Dentures
Complete dentures and denture repairs. Partial dentures require preauthorization.
Extractions
Removal of teeth and roots.
Crowns
Crowns require preauthorization and must meet the program’s coverage criteria.
Preauthorization means the program must approve coverage before the service is provided. Some services, including care beyond frequency limits, require this step. Not every request is approved.
Official Coverage Information| Adjusted family net income | CDCP pays | Standard patient co-payment |
|---|---|---|
| Below $70,000 | 100% | 0% |
| $70,000–$79,999 | 60% | 40% |
| $80,000–$89,999 | 40% | 60% |
These percentages apply to eligible services at CDCP-established fees. Additional charges may apply for services not covered by the plan or amounts above those fees. We’ll explain any expected patient costs before treatment.
