Dental Practice Insurance

Dental practices combine professional care, employees, patient information, specialized equipment, property, and business interruption exposures. The submission should describe procedures, providers, sedation, laboratory work, locations, and protection of patient data.

Operations this guide may include

  • General and family dental practices
  • Orthodontic and specialty dental offices
  • Oral-care practices with imaging or laboratory equipment
  • Single-location and multi-location dental groups

Questions that shape the conversation

Insurance markets evaluate the complete operation. These are examples of details that can materially affect the available path.

  1. Which procedures, surgery, implants, or sedation services are performed?
  2. Which dentists and clinical professionals provide care?
  3. Is laboratory work performed in-house or outsourced?
  4. What imaging, records, payment, and connected technology systems are used?
