1 Check basic eligibility

Adjusted family net income CDCP uses adjusted family net income. If you have a spouse or common-law partner, use family income, not just individual income.

Do you have access to dental insurance? This includes access through work, a spouse or family member’s work, pension benefits, school/professional organizations, or a private plan you purchased. Government social programs are different and may coordinate with CDCP.

Filed Canadian taxes? If applicable, your spouse or common-law partner must also have filed.

Canadian resident for tax purposes?

Province or territory My Dentist YEG is located in Edmonton, Alberta.

Already approved for CDCP? This does not change eligibility, but it helps with the next step.

CDCP FAQs for West Edmonton patients

How should I use this calculator before booking?

Use this calculator to understand the main CDCP eligibility and co-pay factors. Before treatment, call My Dentist YEG to confirm whether CDCP can apply to your visit, what services may be covered, and any out-of-pocket cost.

Does CDCP mean my dental visit is free?

Not always. CDCP may cover a portion of eligible services at CDCP established fees. Depending on your income, the service, the established fee, and the provider fee, you may still have an amount to pay.

Who may qualify for CDCP?

You may qualify if you do not have access to dental insurance, have filed your Canadian tax return, have adjusted family net income under $90,000, and are a Canadian resident for tax purposes.

Can I use CDCP if I have Alberta government dental benefits?

Government social dental programs are different from private dental insurance. In some cases, CDCP can coordinate with provincial, territorial, or federal government programs. Confirm your situation before treatment.
