Flagship Coverage

Dental malpractice insurance built around the dentist.

Professional liability is the single most important policy a practicing dentist carries — it defends your license, your reputation and your livelihood. It is also our flagship program, and we place it every day for solo GPs, associates, owners, specialists and DSOs across all fifty states.
Overview

What this coverage does

We shop both occurrence and claims-made forms from A-rated carriers who exclusively underwrite dentistry. Every quote includes a full comparison — limits, retros, tail terms, endorsements and premium — so you can make a real apples-to-apples choice.

Because we're independent, we're not steering you to one carrier. Because we're dental-only, we know which markets are strong on sedation, implantology, orthognathic surgery, expert-witness testimony or state-specific defense counsel — and we place you accordingly.

Who this is for
  • General dentists (solo, group, owner, associate)
  • Pediatric dentists, endodontists, periodontists, orthodontists
  • Prosthodontists and cosmetic dentists
  • Dental sedation providers (oral, IV, moderate)
  • Recent graduates within 5 years of dental school
  • Dentists with prior claims, incidents or a non-renewal

FAQ

Common questions

Occurrence or claims-made — which do I need?+
It depends on your career stage, mobility and state. We'll walk you through both on a live call. Most established owners prefer occurrence for its lifetime coverage; associates who anticipate moving employers often start on claims-made with a tail plan.
Do you cover dentists with prior claims?+
Yes. We have carriers who specialize in dentists with prior claims, incidents or a recent non-renewal — see the "Prior claims history" section on this page.
Can you issue a certificate for a hospital or DSO today?+
Yes — same-day certificates for hospital privileges and DSO credentialing are standard.
Specialty program

Dentists with a prior claims history

One claim, a non-renewal notice or an open incident report shouldn't leave you uninsurable. We work with specialty carriers who understand that dentistry is a human profession, and we place coverage where standard programs won't quote.

We'll gather a clean claims narrative, request loss runs on your behalf, and approach the specialty markets who consistently write dentistry with prior activity. In most cases we can offer terms within 3–5 business days, handled confidentially by a senior producer.

  • Coverage after one or multiple prior claims
  • Options after non-renewal by a prior carrier
  • Coverage for open incidents (subject to underwriting)
  • Full-limit forms — not stripped-down surplus lines
  • Prior acts / retro-active coverage where possible
  • Guidance drafting a favorable claims narrative
