The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) does not fully cover cosmetic or elective procedures like implants and crowns in most cases. However, there are exceptions when these treatments are medically necessary and meet CDCP’s clinical guidelines.
Here’s what you need to know:
🦷 Dental Implants
- Not typically covered, as they are considered elective or cosmetic
- May be considered in exceptional medical cases (e.g., after trauma or disease)
- Requires pre-authorization with supporting documentation
👑 Dental Crowns
- Covered only when medically necessary (e.g., to save a severely damaged tooth)
- The material used may be limited (basic options covered; upgrades cost extra)
- Requires pre-authorization in most cases
💳 Income-Based Coverage (if approved)
- 100% covered if income is under $70,000
- 60% covered: $70,000–$79,999
- 40% covered: $80,000–$89,999
