Need dental care that fits your budget? The Canadian Dental Care Plan makes it easier at Smile Plus. Call us at (604) 210-6757 or book online to access covered treatments through CDCP. Get the care you need without unnecessary wait.
Applying for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is simple. If you live in Surrey and want to access affordable dental care through CDCP, just follow these steps:
Make sure you meet all the CDCP criteria. This includes having no private dental insurance and a family income under $90,000.
The CDCP is now open to everyone who qualifies. As of 2026, all eligible Canadians can apply regardless of age — seniors, children under 18, adults with a Disability Tax Credit certificate, and every other adult aged 18 to 64. There is no longer a waiting list based on your age group.
You’ll need your Social Insurance Number (SIN), your most recent tax return, and basic personal information.
Visit the official Government of Canada website or call the CDCP helpline to submit your application.
Once you’re approved, you can book your appointment at Smile Plus and start receiving dental care covered under the CDCP. For more information and to apply, visit the official Canadian Dental Care Plan page.
To qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) in Smile Plus, you must meet all four of the following requirements:
✔ You do not have access to private dental insurance
✔ You have filed a recent Canadian tax return (this also applies to your spouse or common-law partner, if applicable)
✔ Your total family income is under $90,000 per year
✔ You are a Canadian resident for tax purposes
Applications are open to all eligible Canadians of every age. Whether you’re a senior, a parent applying for a child, an adult with a Disability Tax Credit certificate, or a working-age adult aged 18 to 64, you can apply today. If you’re already covered under a provincial or federal dental program, you may still qualify — CDCP coordinates with existing coverage so there’s no overlap or gap.
