CDCP & Coverage
How CDCP Denture Coverage Works in Kingston
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) includes coverage for a range of removable denture services — such as complete and partial dentures, relines, rebases, repairs and soft liners — with patient cost-sharing that varies by your coverage tier and the service. At Nova, we confirm your coverage and your expected out-of-pocket portion before any treatment begins.
What the CDCP is and who qualifies
The CDCP is a federal program that helps cover a range of oral health care services for eligible Canadian residents who do not have access to private dental insurance and meet the program’s income and eligibility criteria. Eligibility and coverage details are set by the program and can change, so we encourage you to confirm your status directly with CDCP as well.
Nova accepts CDCP patients in Kingston. Bring your member information to your consultation and we will help you understand how the program applies to the denture services you need.
Which denture services are covered
Many removable prosthodontic services are listed under the CDCP, including complete and partial dentures, denture relines and rebases, repairs, and tissue-conditioning and soft liner services. Coverage typically involves patient cost-sharing rather than full payment, and the amount you pay depends on your coverage tier and the specific service.
Some services — for example cosmetic whitening or certain implant-based treatments — are generally not covered. We will tell you clearly which parts of your proposed treatment fall under CDCP and which do not.
Understanding your out-of-pocket portion
Your share depends on your coverage tier, which is tied to your adjusted family net income. We review the estimate with you, explain the expected patient portion, and confirm coverage before treatment begins so there are no surprises at the desk.
How we handle CDCP at Nova
At your complimentary consultation we assess your needs, outline a treatment plan, and confirm your CDCP coverage and expected portion. We provide the documentation the program requires and walk you through what to expect at each step.
Because program details can change, we treat coverage as something to confirm for each patient and each service rather than a fixed assumption. If you are unsure whether you qualify, call us at 613-777-7747 and we will help you get started.
Common Patient Questions
Does CDCP cover the full cost of my dentures?
Not usually. CDCP typically involves patient cost-sharing, and your portion depends on your coverage tier and the service. We confirm your coverage and expected out-of-pocket amount before treatment begins.
Are implant dentures covered by CDCP?
Implant-based treatments are generally not covered under CDCP. We will tell you clearly which services fall under the program and which do not, and discuss alternatives where relevant.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring your CDCP member information and any correspondence from the program. If you are unsure what you need, call us ahead of your visit and we will list it for you.
