The CDCP Is Now Active for Seniors 65+ in Calgary
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) officially launched for seniors in 2024, and now it’s fully active across Calgary and Alberta for residents aged 65 and older. This program is designed to help cover essential dental services, including preventive and restorative treatments, without the financial burden that often causes older adults to delay care.
At Future Smiles Denture Clinic, we’ve already helped many seniors apply their CDCP benefits to services like full dentures, partials, denture relines, and repairs. The application process is straightforward, and our team is happy to walk you through it step-by-step.
Many seniors don’t realize that CDCP enrollment can take time, and coverage start dates depend on when you apply. That’s why we encourage Calgary residents to begin the process before the end of the year, especially if you’re hoping to schedule treatment in early 2026.
What Does CDCP Cover for Dentures — And What Doesn’t?
Covered Services at Future Smiles:
- Complete dentures (upper and lower)
- Partial dentures (acrylic, cast metal)
- Denture relines and adjustments
- Denture repairs and replacements
CDCP coverage varies based on income. If your adjusted net family income is under $70,000, you may be eligible for full coverage. Those between $70,000 and $90,000 may still qualify for partial coverage, which significantly reduces out-of-pocket costs.
What CDCP doesn’t cover:
- Implants
- Cosmetic enhancements
- Non-essential upgrades (like certain premium materials)
Future Smiles can help you understand exactly what’s covered by CDCP based on your unique needs and income bracket. We’ll also coordinate your claim directly — so you can focus on your comfort, not the paperwork.
If your dentures are loose, uncomfortable, or overdue for replacement, now is the time to act. The sooner you start, the more likely you are to complete your treatment before the 2026 demand increases.
