Accessing quality dental care has been a significant financial challenge for many Canadians. However, a ground breaking new initiative from the Government of Canada aims to change that. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), announced in May 2024, is a comprehensive program designed to provide affordable dental coverage to millions of people beginning with eligible seniors across the country.
At the forefront of this transformative effort is Dr. Sheldon Hoppe Dentistry, a renowned dental practice with three conveniently located offices in central Toronto.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan
A Game-Changer for Seniors. The CDCP is a visionary program that acknowledges the pivotal role of dental health in overall well-being, particularly for our aging population. This plan relieves approximately two million Canadian seniors, offering them access to essential dental services, including checkups, cleanings, fillings, root canals, and dentures, among other dental care services.
Eligibility for the CDCP is based on income level. Seniors aged 65 and over who do not have access to dental insurance and have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000 can apply to the CDCP at this time.
Before applying for the CDCP, you must satisfy the condition that you and your spouse or common-law partner (as applicable) have filed your income tax return for 2023 and received your Notice of Assessment.
The application process is straightforward and can be done online. Our team at Dr. Sheldon Hoppe Dentistry can also assist you with the application process if needed.

Preventive Care
The Foundation of Oral Health Dr. Hoppe and his team firmly believe that preventive care is where good oral health begins, especially for seniors. Regular checkups and hygiene appointments at your dental office can help identify and address potential concerns before they become more severe and expensive to treat.
“By catching problems early, we can often implement minimally invasive treatments and avoid more complex procedures down the line,” explains Dr. Hoppe. “This not only benefits the patient’s overall health but also helps reduce their financial burden.”
