CDCP Fee Guide

Patient informationLast reviewed: 2026-09-06Not the official CDCP website

CDCP fees are published in official Dental Benefit Grids and explained in the Canadian Dental Care Plan Dental Benefits Guide. ScaleUp Dental does not publish procedure prices. Use this page to understand what a fee guide is for, then verify current amounts on Canada.ca and Sun Life.

What a CDCP fee guide is for

CDCP established fees are the amounts the plan uses when paying participating oral health providers for covered services. Those fees live in the official Dental Benefit Grids maintained for the plan—not on this website.

The Dental Benefits Guide on Canada.ca summarizes coverage policies, limitations, and related rules. Together, the guide and grids tell clinics and patients how coverage is intended to work. They are not the same as a provincial dental association fee guide.

Questions to ask your dental clinic

Before treatment, ask the clinic to confirm participation in CDCP, what they will submit for estimates or claims, and what you may still owe. Bring any CDCP member information the office requests.

  • Do you participate in CDCP / bill Sun Life for CDCP claims?
  • Will you submit an estimate so I can see what the plan may cover?
  • What co-payment, if any, applies to my adjusted family net income level?
  • Which services need preauthorization before we proceed?
  • What documents should I bring to the appointment?

Where to verify current fees

Patients should start with the Dental Benefits Guide on Canada.ca and the covered-services information on the main CDCP site. Providers use the Sun Life CDCP Dental Benefit Grids for procedure codes and established fees by province or territory and provider type.

Grids are updated over time. Sun Life has published 2026 grids that apply for services rendered as of April 1, 2026. Always open the live official page rather than relying on a screenshot or an old PDF.

FAQ

Common questions

Does this page publish current CDCP fees?

No. Fee amounts and covered procedure details must be confirmed on official Government of Canada and Sun Life resources linked below.

Are CDCP fees the same as my province’s dental fee guide?

No. Sun Life notes that CDCP established fees are designed for the federal plan and may differ from provincial or territorial fee guides. Clinics should bill according to CDCP rules when treating CDCP clients.

Can my dentist quote a different amount than a fee guide?

CDCP pays according to plan rules and established fees for covered services. Ask your clinic for an estimate and a clear explanation of any remaining patient portion before treatment.

Where is the official fee information?

Start with the Dental Benefits Guide on Canada.ca and the Dental Benefit Grids on Sun Life’s CDCP provider site, both linked in Official sources.
