To find a dentist who accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan in Peel Region, use the official CDCP provider search at canada.ca/dental, then confirm the clinic accepts CDCP before booking.

Key Takeaways
• Use canada.ca/dental to search for CDCP providers in Peel Region — Delta Park Dental is registered and accepting new patients
• You qualify if your adjusted family net income is under $90,000 and you have no private dental insurance
• CDCP covers 100% of eligible dental costs for families earning under $70,000; co-payments apply above that threshold
• Coverage starts only after you receive your CDCP member ID letter — treatment before that date is not covered
• Renewal of your CDCP coverage is required every year by filing a tax return
The Requirements, in Order
To access the Canadian Dental Care Plan and use it at a dental clinic in Peel Region, three conditions must be met in sequence. Skipping any step — including confirming the clinic is a registered provider before booking — is the most common reason patients arrive at an appointment and find their CDCP coverage cannot be applied.
Step 1 — Confirm eligibility. You must be a Canadian resident with no private dental insurance and an adjusted family net income under $90,000. You must have filed a tax return for the previous year with the Canada Revenue Agency.
Step 2 — Apply and receive your member ID. Apply online through your Canada account at canada.ca/dental, by phone at 1-833-537-4342, or in person at a Service Canada centre. You need your social insurance number. After approval, a welcome package with your coverage start date and CDCP member ID arrives by mail.
Step 3 — Book with a registered CDCP provider. Not all dental clinics accept the CDCP. Confirm the clinic is a registered oral health provider before booking. Delta Park Dental is a registered CDCP provider in Brampton accepting new patients.
What to ask before booking any clinic:
• Are you a registered CDCP provider?
• Do you submit claims directly to Sun Life on my behalf?
• Will you confirm my coverage and eligible services before treatment starts?
• Do you require preauthorization for any of the treatments I need?
Each Requirement Explained
Requirement One — CDCP Eligibility
To qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan, you must be a Canadian resident with no access to private dental insurance — not through your own employer, a family member’s employer benefits, a professional or student organization plan, or a government program such as Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program. Your adjusted family net income must be under $90,000 based on the previous year’s tax return. The plan provides free dental care for eligible Canadian residents — Canadian residents who are low income households or middle-income Canadians who fall outside existing dental coverage.
Where to Check Eligibility
Eligibility is verified through the Canada Revenue Agency using your filed tax return. Log into your Canada account at canada.ca or use your Service Canada account. Public health units in Peel Region can also answer questions and direct eligible people to local oral health care services and dental care program options including the CDCP.
How Long Eligibility Verification Takes
The CRA income check is near-instant when you apply online through your Canada account. Phone applications via Service Canada take one to five business days to process before an Application Code is issued.
The Common Rejection Reason
Applicants are rejected because they or a family member have dental coverage through a health benefits plan — including wellness accounts that include dental — that they did not disclose.
Requirement Two — Applying and Receiving Your Member ID
Apply online at canada.ca/dental using your Service Canada account, or by phone at 1-833-537-4342. You need your social insurance number, your previous year’s tax return on file with the CRA, and confirmation that you have no private dental insurance or private insurance that includes dental benefits. After approval, a welcome package is mailed with your CDCP member ID and coverage start date. There is no waiting period once your coverage start date is confirmed. Treatment before the coverage start date is not covered regardless of family income level. The welcome package also outlines treatment options and services covered under your benefit period.
Requirement Three — Finding a Registered CDCP Provider
Not every dental clinic in Peel Region has registered with the CDCP. The official search tool at canada.ca/dental lists registered dentists by postal code. When calling a clinic, confirm they submit claims directly to Sun Life on the patient’s behalf — this means you pay only the potential co payment at the time of the visit, and the clinic handles the rest. Clinics that ask patients to pay upfront and claim themselves may still be legitimate CDCP providers, but direct billing is the standard and is what most eligible Canadians should expect.
How Long the Whole Process Takes
| Stage | Timeline |
| File tax return (if not already done) | By April 30 each year |
| Apply online via Canada account | Same day |
| Receive welcome package by mail | 2 to 8 weeks after application |
| Book and attend first appointment | Within the benefit period once member ID received |
| Annual renewal | Each year after filing the following tax return |
What It Costs End to End
| Household income | CDCP covers | Patient pays (potential co payment) |
| Under $70,000 | 100% of eligible services | $0 co payment |
| $70,000 to $79,999 | 60% of eligible services | 40% co payment |
| $80,000 to $89,999 | 40% of eligible services | 60% co payment |
| Above $90,000 | Not eligible | Full cost |
Services covered by the CDCP include x rays, fillings, cleanings, exams, root canals, extractions, oral surgery, and dentures. Dental implants, cosmetic dental procedures, and orthodontics are not covered. Services that require preauthorization — including some dentures and major restorative work — must be approved by Sun Life before treatment starts. The CDCP has an annual maximum per patient; amounts claimed count toward this limit within each benefit period.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dental Care Plan CDCP
How do I apply online for the CDCP?
Apply online at canada.ca/dental through your Service Canada account or CRA My Account — your Canada account is the fastest route. You need your social insurance number and a filed tax return for the previous year. After approval, a welcome package with your CDCP member ID and coverage start date is mailed within two to eight weeks. Most applicants receive their welcome package within two to eight weeks of applying. Call 1-833-537-4342 if you prefer to apply by phone.
What dental coverage does the CDCP provide?
The CDCP covers dental exams, x-rays, cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, oral surgery, and dentures for eligible Canadians. Dental costs for families earning under $70,000 are covered 100% for eligible services. A co payment of 40% applies between $70,000 and $79,999; 60% applies between $80,000 and $89,999. Dental implants, cosmetic procedures, and orthodontics are not covered. Some services require preauthorization before treatment begins.
Does CDCP cover dental insurance costs or replace private insurance?
No. The CDCP does not replace private dental insurance and is not available to patients who have private insurance coverage through an employer, family member, professional or student organization, or government social programs such as Ontario Works. It is a federal government dental care program for eligible Canadians with no existing dental benefits. The plan functions as a safety net — not a supplement. Providing false information about insurance status on the application is a federal offence.
Do I need to renew my CDCP coverage each year?
Yes. CDCP coverage renews annually and is tied to your tax return from the previous year. If you do not file a tax return, your coverage will not renew for the following benefit period. The government of Canada sends a renewal notice — check your Canada account for your updated coverage start date and annual maximum reset. Confirm your eligibility requirements are still met and that your household income and insurance status have not changed since the previous year before booking your next dental appointment.
