Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) at Mill Ridge Family Dental Care
At Mill Ridge Family Dental Care, we’re committed to helping our patients access the care they need. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government initiative aimed at improving access to oral health services by reducing financial barriers. This program is available to eligible Canadian residents who do not have private dental benefits and whose annual household income is below $90,000.
While the CDCP provides coverage for many common dental procedures, it is not free dental care. Instead, it helps cover part of the costs associated with your treatment.

Please note that not all services are covered and limitations may apply. Coverage frequency and details are available via the CDCP Guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I eligible for the CDCP?
We do not manage eligibility or registration. For information about qualifying or enrolling, please contact the CDCP hotline at:
📞 1-833-537-4342 (TTY: 1-833-677-6262)
Or visit your nearest Service Canada office.
Will I have to pay anything out of pocket?
Yes. Even if your coverage under CDCP says “100%”, this refers to 100% of the CDCP fee schedule, not the fees outlined by the Ontario Dental Association (ODA), which our office follows. The difference between these two fee guides must be covered by the patient.
⚠️ We understand that the government is working toward addressing this fee discrepancy, but at this time, we require patients to pay any difference at the time of service. Should changes occur in the future, we cannot issue refunds retroactively.
Can you tell me how much I’ll have to pay?
We’ll make every effort to submit a pre-determination to Sun Life (the plan administrator) to confirm coverage. However, in urgent cases (e.g., a broken tooth), treatment may proceed without prior approval, and you will be responsible for any portion not covered by the CDCP.
