Our clinic on McNeely Avenue checks your CDCP coverage first, bills the plan directly, and puts any remaining cost in writing before you decide, with appointments arranged around your schedule.

How to apply through Service CanadaCDCP & most major Canadian insurers accepted
The Canadian Dental Care Plan, explained simply
CDCP is a federal benefit that helps cover dental costs — dentures included — for eligible Canadians who don’t have private dental insurance. Since 2026, age is no longer a factor; anyone who meets the criteria can apply. Our Carleton Place clinic is a newer location of an established Ottawa-based clinic group, just off Highway 7, and we see patients from Carleton Place, Almonte, Beckwith, Mississippi Mills and the growing communities west of Ottawa. Whether CDCP applies to your dentures depends on your eligibility and treatment plan — sorting that out is where we start every free consultation. If you are 65+ and weighing both programs, our OSDCP vs CDCP guide explains the difference.
Who qualifies for CDCP
Eligibility comes down to four boxes — check all of them, and CDCP likely applies to your denture treatment at our Carleton Place clinic. Not sure? Run the eligibility check below for the fastest answer, or just ask us at your free consultation.
Canadian resident for tax purposes
This one’s about where you pay tax — Canada needs to be your tax home.
Filed your latest tax return
Your most recent return needs to be in — and if you have a spouse or common-law partner, theirs does too.
Adjusted family net income under $90,000
The higher your household earns, the smaller the reimbursement percentage gets — the breakdown is just below.
No access to private dental insurance
Think backup plan, not add-on — CDCP won’t stack with coverage from an employer, a pension, or a spouse.
See if you’re likely eligible — one question at a time
It only takes about a minute to answer five short questions — no email address, no account, nothing gets saved. At the end, you’ll get a sense of where you likely stand and which coverage bracket applies, plus how to apply — or just bring your answers to a free consultation at our Carleton Place clinic.

Where your income lands on the CDCP scale
Good news first: for most eligible patients, CDCP covers the large majority of the cost — your share simply comes down to your family income. The breakdown below uses the same brackets our Carleton Place team checks against at your consultation.
| Adjusted family net income | CDCP covers | Your share |
|---|---|---|
| Under $70,000 | 100% | Only the small fee-guide difference |
| $70,000 – $79,999 | 60% | 40% of the fee, plus the small difference |
| $80,000 – $89,999 | 40% | 60% of the fee, plus the small difference |
| $90,000 and above | Not eligible | CDCP doesn’t apply — ask us about the most affordable path. |
When we say “family income,” that’s your adjusted family net income — you’ll find it on line 23600 of your return.
Worth knowing about the copay. CDCP works from its own fee schedule, and that number sometimes lands below what a denturist actually bills. The leftover gap is a copay that falls to you, and it can crop up regardless of tier — 100% included. Our Carleton Place team reviews your coverage and puts that estimated amount in writing ahead of time, so there’s nothing unexpected once you’re here on McNeely Avenue.
Applying for CDCP through Service Canada
The Government of Canada handles applications through Service Canada, not through our clinic directly. Budget about 10–15 minutes if you’re applying online, or call in instead. Sun Life mails out a CDCP member card once you’re approved — from there, book a free consultation at our Carleton Place clinic and bring it along.
-
Confirm you qualify
Run the eligibility check above, or work through the four qualifying criteria right on Canada.ca. You’ll want your SIN and last year’s tax paperwork within reach.
-
Apply online or by phone
Apply directly with Service Canada — either way works. Expect a confirmation first, and after approval, Sun Life sends your member card through the mail along with the date your coverage begins.
-
Book your free consultation
As soon as your coverage is active, call our Carleton Place clinic on McNeely Avenue to set up a time — there’s no referral to arrange first. Your tier gets confirmed and CDCP billed directly on our end.
What Service Canada will ask you for
This is for the government application only — our clinic never asks for your SIN or tax details.
- Social Insurance Number — for each person applying
- Last year’s tax return — your adjusted family net income comes from it
- Date of birth & home address — for everyone on the application
- After approval: Sun Life welcome letter — includes your CDCP member card; bring the card to your first visit
Clicking through lands you on Canada.ca, on the government’s own CDCP page, opened in a fresh tab. Nothing you enter there passes through our systems — think of it as a resource we point you to, not a form we handle. Once Service Canada gives you the go-ahead, we pick up from there.
What the CDCP helps cover
CDCP reaches well beyond dentures, covering a wide range of dental treatment. What actually applies to you comes down to your eligibility and treatment plan — our Carleton Place team spells out your coverage and confirms it, copay included, in writing before anything gets started.
Complete dentures
One full arch, both arches, or just the one you need — a complete denture replaces every tooth in that jaw.
Partial dentures
Either style — metal-framework or flexible — closes the gap from several missing teeth and leaves your own healthy teeth undisturbed.
Relines & repairs
A loose fit gets tightened, or a crack gets mended — CDCP covers one reline every twelve months.
Tooth extractions
When a tooth can’t be saved, it comes out first — usually the step right before a new denture.
Fillings & restorations
Getting a decayed or damaged tooth back in working order.
Exams, cleanings & X-rays
Your regular check-up, a cleaning, and any X-rays that are needed.
Denture treatment and tooth extractions are handled right here by our own licensed denturists at the McNeely Avenue clinic. For everyday dental needs like fillings or cleanings, your family dentist is the way to go — happy to point you toward someone in Almonte or Mississippi Mills if you need a name.
From coverage check to finished dentures
Our Carleton Place clinic is a newer location of an established Ottawa-based group, just off Highway 7 and an easy drive from Almonte, Beckwith, Mississippi Mills and Stittsville. We run by appointment — no fixed daily hours, just a time our team arranges around your schedule — and CDCP’s paperwork is ours to untangle, not yours.
Check coverage
Call our Carleton Place clinic or use the eligibility check above to see where you likely stand — we’ll walk through your CDCP tier and give you a realistic sense of cost before you commit to anything.
Free consultation
You’ll sit down with a licensed denturist who looks at what you need and suggests the denture that fits — no referral necessary, and the appointment is scheduled around you.
Written estimate
Everything lands in writing before treatment starts — the CDCP billing codes, plus whatever portion of the cost lands on you.
Treatment & direct billing
The lab work happens at our Ottawa location, where your dentures are actually crafted; fitting and adjustments then happen here at Carleton Place. CDCP gets billed on your behalf, leaving just the leftover portion for you to cover.
Injured at work? WSIB may cover your dentures
Workplace injuries sometimes explain a lost tooth or a damaged denture — and when that’s the case, WSIB may be a separate coverage path from CDCP that’s worth knowing about.
A simple repair or reline can often go ahead without prior authorization; replacements need WSIB approval. The details are in the common questions below — and we handle the WSIB paperwork with you.
Unsure which of these applies to you? Bring it up when you call to arrange your free consultation — our Carleton Place team will walk you through CDCP, WSIB, and any private insurance options, plus coordinate any employer paperwork WSIB needs along the way.

Can’t find your question?
-
Yes — if you’re eligible, CDCP puts money toward complete dentures, partial dentures, relines, and repairs (implants aren’t included). Our Carleton Place clinic participates in the plan and bills CDCP directly, so you’re not left to submit the claim yourself.
-
Four boxes need to be checked: you’re a Canadian tax resident, your latest return is filed (your spouse’s too, if you have one), your adjusted family net income sits under $90,000, and you don’t have private dental coverage elsewhere. Age isn’t a barrier — as of 2026, anyone who meets those four qualifies.
-
The Government of Canada runs the whole application through Service Canada — our clinic isn’t part of that process. You can apply at Canada.ca or over the phone at 1-833-537-3537, and once you’re approved, your CDCP member card arrives by mail from Sun Life. Bring it along to your free consultation at our Carleton Place clinic on McNeely Avenue.

Your household income sets the tier: below $70,000 and CDCP reimburses the full 100% of eligible fees; between $70,000 and $79,999 that drops to 60%; and between $80,000 and $89,999 it’s 40%. Since CDCP works from its own fee guide rather than what a denturist actually charges, a gap can remain — our Carleton Place team puts your estimated portion in writing before any treatment starts.
-
We take care of it — our Carleton Place clinic bills CDCP directly whenever treatment qualifies. Before booking anything, we check your coverage and put your estimated share in writing, so you’re typically only settling that leftover amount at your appointment instead of covering the full fee upfront and waiting on a reimbursement.
-
No. Since CDCP only steps in as a last resort, it can’t sit alongside private dental coverage — whether that’s through your job, a pension, or your spouse’s plan. If private insurance is already in the picture, our team will put together the paperwork and submit that claim on your behalf instead.
-
Not at all — there’s no referral requirement. As soon as your CDCP coverage kicks in, phone our Carleton Place clinic and we’ll get you booked for a free consultation with a licensed denturist.
-
WSIB is the government body that looks after workplace insurance here in Ontario. Workers hurt while on the job can draw on several types of support through it, including replacement income for lost wages and assistance with health-care costs tied to the injury.
-
When a workplace incident leaves you needing new dentures or repair work, WSIB will, in most cases, put money toward your denture treatment. Purely cosmetic restorative work falls outside that coverage, and WSIB will also look into whether any damage existed before the incident, which factors into what gets approved. Outside of an emergency, WSIB needs to sign off before treatment starts — our Carleton Place team coordinates that timing with you and your employer, and books your appointment once everything’s confirmed.
-
Necessary dental work gets paid out against WSIB’s approved fee schedule, but only when it’s a direct result of an injury or illness connected to your job.
-
A denture damaged in a work-related accident gets restored to how it fit and held up before the accident — not upgraded. Simple fixes like a repair or reline typically don’t need sign-off first, but a full replacement is different: WSIB has to approve it, and what’s covered tops out at the average cost of putting the original denture back together.
