Finding a CDCP dentist in Port Coquitlam means finding a clinic that understands the plan and makes the process simple for you. Here’s what sets us apart:
Experienced dentists. Our dental team has hands-on experience delivering the full range of CDCP-covered treatments, from routine cleanings to more involved restorative work.
Modern diagnostic technology. We use 3D scanning, CT imaging, and digital X-rays to diagnose issues accurately and plan your treatment efficiently.
Comfort-first care. We offer sedation options for anxious patients and build treatment plans around your comfort, not just the procedure.
Accessible location. Our clinic has ample parking, elevator access, and handicap-capable operatories, with flexible scheduling to fit your day.
The CDCP is a federal program for Canadians who don’t have access to private dental insurance. It’s not free dental care. It’s a benefit that covers part of the cost, with your share depending on your income.
New applications for the 2026-27 benefit year opened June 2, 2026.
If you have dental insurance through your job, your pension, or a spouse’s plan, you won’t qualify for the CDCP, even if you don’t use that coverage. We recommend comparing your existing plan against CDCP benefits before deciding whether to opt out of private coverage, since private plans sometimes offer broader coverage.
Before booking, confirm your CDCP eligibility and coverage start date through your welcome package or the CDCP member portal. Bring your member details to your appointment so our front desk can verify your coverage and walk you through any co-payment before treatment begins. If you’re unsure whether a specific procedure is covered, call us, and we’ll check for you.

The CDCP is a federal program that helps eligible Canadians without private dental insurance pay for essential dental care. It covers services like cleanings, exams, fillings, root canals, extractions, and dentures. We accept CDCP patients at Poco Dental Group in Port Coquitlam.
You qualify if you’re a Canadian resident for tax purposes, filed a tax return for the previous year, have an adjusted family net income under $90,000, and don’t have access to private dental insurance through an employer, pension, or spouse’s plan. As of the 2026-27 benefit year, the CDCP is open to all eligible age groups, not just seniors and children.
Your co-payment depends on your adjusted family net income. Families earning under $70,000 pay no co-payment. Families earning $70,000 to $79,999 pay up to 40% of the cost. Families earning $80,000 to $89,999 pay up to 60%. Families earning over $90,000 are not eligible for the plan.
No. If you have access to dental coverage through an employer, a pension, or a spouse’s plan, you’re not eligible for the CDCP, even if you choose not to use that coverage or have to pay a premium for it. The CDCP is designed to fill gaps for people without any private option.
The CDCP covers preventive care like cleanings and fluoride treatments, diagnostic services like exams and X-rays, fillings, root canals, extractions, and full or partial dentures. Some services, like crowns, may need pre-authorization before treatment. We’ll walk you through what’s covered before your appointment.
You can apply online at canada.ca/dental or by phone. You’ll need your Social Insurance Number and a filed tax return from the previous year. Once approved, you’ll receive a welcome package with your member details and coverage start date. As your CDCP dentist in Port Coquitlam, we can help confirm your coverage before your visit.
Yes. Seniors and children were among the first groups eligible when the CDCP launched, and both remain covered now that the plan is open to all ages. We provide CDCP-covered cleanings, fillings, and preventive care for patients of every age at our Port Coquitlam clinic.
