Surrey Place Dental Group is proud to offer services through the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a new dental benefit launched in May 2024. Eligibility is based on household income, so you may qualify for coverage. Below is the latest information on the program; we will continue to update the page as needed. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask—or visit canada.ca/dental for the latest information.
On March 22, 2025, Health Canada announced the final phase of the CDCP implementation and that, starting in May 2025, all eligible Canadians can apply by age group. Depending on application timing, coverage could begin as early as June 1, 2025.
Applications will open by age group:
- May 1: 55 to 64 years old
- May 15: 18 to 34 years old
- May 29: 35 to 54 years old
To qualify for the CDCP, applicants must:
- Not have access to dental insurance
- Have filed their individual 2024 tax return in Canada (and their spouse’s or common-law partner’s, if applicable)
- Have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000
- Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes.
As with previous cohorts, eligible Canadians can apply online, by phone, or by visiting a Service Canada Centre.
Beginning of the renewal process
From March 2025 onward, current CDCP members must take action to renew their coverage. CDCP members must have filed their 2024 tax return and received their 2024 Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency before applying for renewal at canada.ca/dental, in My Service Canada Account (MSCA), or by telephone.
CDCP members must submit renewal applications by June 1, 2025, to ensure uninterrupted coverage. Coverage for those who do not renew will end on June 30, 2025, and any oral health care services received during a gap in coverage will not be eligible for reimbursement.
