Dentures covered by the CDCP

Replacing one or more missing teeth restores your smile, chewing, and speech. Full or partial, the denture is made to measure as part of the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), with direct billing to the plan.

Types of dentures

The choice depends on how many teeth need replacing and the state of your mouth. Your dentist guides you to the best-suited solution.

Full denture

Replaces all the teeth in a jaw when no natural teeth remain.

Partial denture

Replaces one or more missing teeth by resting on the remaining natural teeth.

Implant-supported denture

A denture stabilized by implants, based on clinical assessment. Implant-supported dentures and all implant-related procedures are excluded from CDCP coverage.

The steps to make it

A custom denture takes a few appointments for a precise, comfortable fit.

Assessment

Exam of the mouth and discussion of the right solution.

Impressions

Precise impressions are taken to design the denture.

Try-ins

Checking the fit, shade, and bite.

Fitting and follow-up

Placement, care advice, and adjustments as needed.

CDCP coverage

Dentures are among the services eligible under the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Full and partial dentures may be covered, subject to plan criteria, limits and required approvals. Implant-supported dentures and all implant-related procedures are excluded from CDCP coverage. The clinic bills the plan directly and, depending on your income bracket, an official co-payment may apply. You are given an estimate before any non-covered care.

Frequently asked questions

How many appointments does it take?

Usually a few appointments: assessment, impressions, try-ins, then fitting. The exact number depends on the type of denture and the adjustments needed for optimal comfort.

Are dentures covered by the CDCP?

Full and partial dentures may be covered, subject to plan criteria, limits and required approvals. Implant-supported dentures are excluded from CDCP coverage. A co-payment may apply based on your income bracket, and you are given an estimate before any non-covered care.

Is it uncomfortable at first?

An adjustment period is normal: chewing and speech improve over the following days. Adjustments can be made at the clinic to remove pressure points.

How do I care for my denture?

Clean it every day with a suitable brush, take it out at night to rest the gums, and keep it in water or a suitable solution. See the dentist if there is discomfort.

How long does a denture last?

With good care, a denture lasts several years. Since the mouth changes over time, a regular check-up verifies the fit and allows it to be replaced when needed.
