Services Covered by CDCP

Luka Dental Care is a registered provider for the Canadian Dental Care Plan, at 2101 Aldersbrook Road in London, Ontario. If you have the plan, you book with us the same way as any other patient.

 

This page explains who qualifies, what the plan pays for, and what happens when you come in.

 

Do you accept the CDCP?

 

Yes. We are a registered CDCP provider and we are taking new patients. When you call to book, tell us you have the plan.

 

Who qualifies for the plan

 

To qualify, all four of these must apply:

 

  • You do not have access to private dental insurance, including a health spending account that covers dental.
  • You, and your spouse or partner if you have one, filed your Canadian tax returns.
  • Your adjusted family net income is under $90,000.
  • You are a Canadian resident for tax purposes.

 

Applications for the 2026 to 2027 benefit period are open. You can apply through My Service Canada Account, online on Canada.ca, or by phone at 1-833-537-4342.

 

There is no fee to apply or to renew. The plan lets you know by mail once your application is done.

 

What the plan covers

 

The CDCP covers a wide range of everyday and major dental care:

 

  • Checkups, cleanings and x-rays.
  • fillings for cavities.
  • Root canals.
  • Gum care.
  • crowns and dentures.
  • Tooth removal.
  • Freezing for your treatment.

 

Some care needs the plan to say yes before treatment starts. This is called preauthorization. Crowns, partial dentures and a second root canal on the same tooth all need it.

 

There are also limits on how often some services are covered, and going past a limit needs approval too. For a closer look at the two treatments people ask about most, read does the CDCP cover crowns and dentures.

 

What the plan does not cover

 

Orthodontics is not covered, so braces and clear aligners are paid for another way. If you are not sure whether a treatment is covered, ask us before your visit.

 

What you pay

 

The plan pays a share of its own set fee for each service. The share depends on your adjusted family net income:

 

  • Under $70,000, the plan pays 100 percent and you have no co-payment.
  • From $70,000 to $79,999, the plan pays 60 percent and you pay 40 percent.
  • From $80,000 to $89,999, the plan pays 40 percent and you pay 60 percent.

 

If a dentist’s fee is higher than the plan’s set fee, the difference can be charged to you. Before you agree to any treatment, we tell you what the plan will and will not cover. That way you know your share first.

Booking Your First Dental Appointment

What happens at your first visit

 

Your first visit starts like any checkup with us. We look at your teeth and gums, take the x-rays you need, and talk you through what we find.

 

If you need more care, we explain your options and what each one costs, including the part the plan pays. Anything that needs approval from the plan gets sent before we begin.

 

We have looked after London families since 1972, and we have our own dental lab in the building. You can see all of our services on one page.

 

Questions people ask

 

Do you take new patients with the CDCP?

 

Yes. We are accepting new patients, and CDCP patients book the same way as everyone else.

 

Is there a cost to apply for the plan?

 

No. Applying and renewing are both free.

 

Does the CDCP cover braces or clear aligners?

 

No. Orthodontics is not covered by the plan.

 

Will I have to pay anything?

 

It depends on your family income and on our fee for the treatment. We tell you your share before any work starts.

 

When are you open?

 

Monday to Thursday, with evening hours until 7pm on Monday and Tuesday.
