Dentists
Sedation-aware, equipment-savvy coverage for the realities of modern dental practice.
DENTISTS OVERVIEW
Purpose-built protection for the clinical, regulatory, and equipment risks unique to dentistry.
Dental practices face a distinctive set of exposures that general business insurance was never designed to handle. Sedation liability, OSHA compliance requirements, expensive diagnostic and treatment equipment, and the ever-present risk of a patient alleging a procedure caused harm — these are risks that require a carrier and advisor who know dentistry, not just small business insurance.
Sedation endorsement verification
We confirm that your policy explicitly covers the sedation levels you administer — conscious, moderate, and IV — so an adverse event never falls outside your coverage.
OSHA compliance risk management
Proactive compliance documentation review alongside our healthcare management team to prevent citations that become evidence in malpractice litigation.
Equipment breakdown coverage
Protection for CBCT scanners, autoclaves, CAD/CAM systems, and digital radiography units against sudden mechanical or electrical failure that property insurance excludes.
Tail coverage for practice transitions
We plan extended reporting periods before you sell, retire, or change practice settings so claims-made gaps never catch you off guard.
WHO WE SERVE
