CDCP coverage expands: Miller Dental Care offering no expense options!

Access to dental care just got easier for thousands more Canadians. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) has expanded eligibility to include all age groups, bringing quality dental treatment within reach for more families across the country.

“At Miller Dental Care in Orillia, we’re excited to help these new eligible patients access the care they need,” says Dr. Robert MacInnis at Miller Dental Care.

Who Can Apply Now?

As of May 29, 2025, the CDCP now welcomes applications from all age groups, recently updating eligibility to include all children and adults regardless of health.

“We’re seeing more young adults who’ve been putting off dental care due to cost,” notes Dr. MacInnis. “This expansion means they can address problems before they become more serious and expensive.”

Advanced Technology for Better Care

Miller Dental Care now offers laser dentistry with the Solea laser, which eliminates the need for anesthetic in many procedures. This makes dental treatment more accessible for pregnant women and less intimidating for children. The laser approach is typically far less painful than traditional methods and means patients don’t have to deal with post-visit numbness.

For patients who experience dental anxiety, the clinic also now provides sedation options to ensure a comfortable treatment experience.

Coverage That Makes Sense

The financial benefits remain substantial for eligible patients. Families with adjusted net income below $70,000 receive 100% coverage for eligible services at CDCP rates. Those earning between $70,000-$79,999 pay only 40% of costs, while families earning $80,000-$89,999 contribute 60%.

“Our clinic is not charging the difference, so our CDCP plan has no out-of-pocket expenses,” adds Dr. MacInnis. From routine cleanings and fillings to root canals, crowns, and even dentures, the CDCP covers essential dental services that help maintain good oral health.

Coverage Renewal for 2025-2026

Current CDCP members have successfully navigated the recent renewal period for 2025-2026 coverage. The renewal process helps ensure continued eligibility and updates any changes in family circumstances or income that might affect coverage levels.

For those who may have missed the renewal deadline of June 1, 2025, it’s worth checking with the CDCP about options for restoring coverage or applying fresh if you meet current eligibility requirements.

Miller Dental Care Makes It Simple

At Miller Dental Care, we handle the administrative details so you can focus on your oral health. As a participating CDCP provider, we direct-bill the plan for covered services, meaning you won’t pay upfront for treatments covered by your benefits.

“Our team stays current with CDCP updates and requirements,” explains Dr. MacInnis. “We can help determine what’s covered, handle pre-authorization when needed, and make sure you understand any potential out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.”

Getting Started

If you think you might qualify for CDCP coverage, the application process is straightforward. Visit Canada.ca to apply online, ensuring you meet all four eligibility requirements: no existing dental insurance, filed tax returns, adjusted family income under $90,000, and Canadian tax residency.

For those with coverage through government social programs, you may still qualify for CDCP. The plans coordinate to eliminate gaps while avoiding duplication.

Your Oral Health Matters

Don’t let cost concerns prevent you from maintaining good oral health. Regular dental care prevents small problems from becoming major issues, and the CDCP makes this preventive approach affordable for eligible families.
