The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) provides a variety of essential dental services for eligible residents in Ontario. These services aim to maintain oral health and are categorized as follows:

Preventive Care: This includes routine dental exams, x-rays, cleanings (scaling and polishing), and fluoride treatments. These services are often covered up to 100 percent without requiring preauthorization.

Basic Restorative Services: This category covers common procedures such as fillings, crowns, and bridges to repair damaged teeth. These services typically receive 60 to 80 percent coverage.

Other Specialty Services:

• Endodontics: Root canal treatments to save infected teeth.
• Periodontics: Management of gum disease through scaling, root planing, and surgery.
• Prosthodontics: Dentures for replacing missing teeth.
• Limited Orthodontics: Certain options like clear aligners for mild to moderate alignment may be covered in specific cases.

Major procedures, such as dental implants, may be covered on a case-by-case basis and require preauthorization through the plan administrator. Please note that purely cosmetic procedures are generally excluded from coverage.
