New to the CDCP? You’re Not Alone.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) has expanded to include coverage for denture services, but many people aren’t sure how to actually use it.
At Future Smiles Denture Clinic in Calgary, we hear this every day:
"I got my CDCP letter, but now what?"
That’s why we’ve created a simple, step-by-step approach to help you navigate your CDCP benefits. From determining your eligibility to submitting claims, we’re here to make the process easy and accessible, so you can focus on your smile, not the paperwork.
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
Before you can use CDCP coverage, you must meet the basic criteria:
- Be a Canadian resident
- Have no access to private dental insurance
- Have a household income under $90,000
- Be part of the eligible rollout group (e.g. aged 45+, seniors, children, or DTC recipients)
- Have filed your taxes for the previous year
You should receive a letter of confirmation with your CDCP start date. If you haven’t yet, visit the Government of Canada website to learn more.
Step 2: Book a Denture Consultation
Once you're confirmed as eligible, the next step is to book an appointment with a CDCP-participating provider like Future Smiles. We’ll assess your oral health, discuss your needs (full, partial, or implant-supported dentures), and confirm which services are covered based on your income level.
Step 3: Understand What’s Covered
Denture-related services included under CDCP may include:
- Complete dentures
- Partial dentures
- Denture repairs and relines
- Adjustments and fittings
The amount covered depends on your household income:
100% coverage for income under $70,000
Partial coverage for income between $70,000–$89,999
We’ll help you understand exactly how much will be covered and what (if anything) you’ll need to pay.
Step 4: Let Us Handle Direct Billing
Future Smiles offers direct billing for all CDCP-covered services. That means you don’t pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement—we’ll submit claims on your behalf and clearly explain any co-pays or exclusions upfront.
Step 5: Start Your Denture Care Plan
Once coverage is confirmed and treatment is approved, we’ll begin your denture care. Whether you’re getting new dentures or need adjustments to existing ones, our team provides comfortable, personalized care from start to finish.
