No. ScaleUp Dental publishes educational guides. Applications, eligibility decisions, and benefit details belong on Canada.ca and with the plan administrator.
Patient information
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program that helps eligible Canadian residents with the cost of dental care. This hub points you to official eligibility, application, fee, and coverage resources—and to clinic playbooks for practices that accept CDCP—without replacing Canada.ca or Sun Life.
What this hub is (and is not)
ScaleUp Dental publishes plain-language CDCP guides so patients and clinics can find the right official page faster. We are not the Government of Canada, we do not decide eligibility, and we do not process applications.
Program rules change. When something on this site and Canada.ca disagree, Canada.ca wins.
Guides for patients
If you are checking whether you may qualify, start with eligibility. If you need to understand how published fee and benefit information is used with a clinic, use the fee guide orientation. Both pages send you to official tools for decisions.
- Eligibility — official qualify and apply paths on Canada.ca
- Fee guide — how CDCP fee grids and the Dental Benefits Guide work (no invented dollar amounts on our pages)
Resources for dental clinics
Clinics that accept CDCP need compliant patient-facing pages, accurate Google Business Profile language, and inquiry workflows that do not overstate coverage. Use CDCP for clinics for the playbook, and the benchmark report page for the upcoming verified demand release.
Beware of scams
Canada.ca states that the CDCP will never ask you to pay to apply or renew. Be careful with mail, calls, texts, emails, ads, or pop-ups that ask for banking or credit card details. If a message looks suspicious, contact the official CDCP channels listed on Canada.ca.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this the official CDCP website?
Where should I apply for CDCP?
Use the official Government of Canada apply page linked in Official sources. Do not use unofficial third-party application sites.
Do you list dentists that accept CDCP?
No. This hub does not publish find-a-dentist or city dentist directories. Ask your clinic whether they accept CDCP, or use official provider resources when available.
