The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers many eligible dental services, but not every treatment qualifies for CDCP coverage. Some services are completely excluded from the plan, while other treatments may have specific limitations, eligibility requirements, or additional costs.
Examples of services that may not be covered include:
- Dental services provided solely for cosmetic purposes
- Teeth whitening
- Veneers
- Certain orthodontic treatments, depending on eligibility and plan requirements
- Services that are not considered medically necessary under the CDCP
- Treatments or procedures that fall outside the plan's eligible service categories
Coverage can also depend on the specific treatment, your eligibility, and the current CDCP rules. A treatment that seems similar to a covered service may have different coverage requirements or limitations.
