Safeguard the Hands That Built Your Practice

Dentists in active practice face unique risks due to the manual and physical nature of their work. Whether you own your practice or are an associate, your income relies on your clinical capacity.

Why This Matters Now

  • One injury could sideline your production.

  • Your lifestyle is tied to your hands-on ability.

  • Practice owners have even more at stake.

🛡️ True Own-Occupation Disability Insurance

A dentist’s most valuable tool is their ability to perform hands-on clinical care. Whether it’s due to injury, repetitive strain, or illness, even a partial loss of dexterity can end a dental career. That’s why it’s critical to have a policy specifically crafted to protect your procedural role.

  • Coverage must include protection for hands-on clinical duties.

  • High benefit amounts are often necessary due to high incomes.

  • Include riders for student loans and future income increases.

🧭 Life Insurance

Life insurance isn’t just a business tool—it’s personal. Whether you're supporting a family, planning for future children, or protecting a spouse’s financial security, term or permanent life insurance can serve as the foundation of your long-term planning.

It also plays a dual role in your practice by helping to:

  • Provide tax-free income replacement for loved ones

  • Fund buy-sell agreements or ensure business continuity

  • Offer estate planning and wealth transfer benefits

  • What is True Own-Occupation Disability Insurance, and why is it important?
    True Own-Occupation Disability Insurance pays you benefits if you’re unable to perform the specific duties of your profession due to a covered disability. Even if you decide to work in another capacity during your disability, these policies continue to pay out, ensuring that high-income specialists—like doctors, dentists, and attorneys—maintain financial stability and peace of mind.
  • How does group disability insurance compare to an individual policy?
    Group disability coverage is typically offered through an employer or professional association. While convenient, these policies may have limitations—like lower benefit caps or definitions of disability that aren’t own-occupation. Individual coverage is often more comprehensive and customizable, but usually comes with higher premiums.
  • What is partial or residual disability coverage?
    Some policies offer a partial or residual rider that pays benefits if you can still work but at a reduced capacity or income. This can be crucial for professionals recovering from an injury or illness who are able to work part-time but have lost some of their earning potential.
  • When should I review or update my life insurance policy?
    Major life events—like getting married, having children, buying a house, or starting a business—often warrant revisiting your coverage. It’s also a good idea to review your policy at least every few years, even without a major event, to ensure it still meets your evolving needs.
  • How are premiums determined for life insurance?
    Premiums depend on several factors, including your age, health history, occupation, lifestyle habits (such as smoking), and the type of policy you choose. Each carrier has its own underwriting guidelines, which is why an impartial broker can be helpful in shopping for the best rates.
  • Can I convert my term life policy to permanent life insurance?
    Many term policies include a conversion option, which allows you to transition to a permanent policy without undergoing additional medical underwriting. This is especially beneficial if your health changes but you still want ongoing coverage.
  • When should I consider Business Overhead Insurance?
    If you own or run a practice, business overhead insurance covers ongoing expenses (rent, payroll, etc.) when you’re temporarily unable to work. It keeps your practice financially stable during your recovery.
  • Why is Malpractice Insurance essential for physicians and dentists?
    Malpractice insurance covers legal expenses and potential settlements arising from professional liability claims, helping protect both your personal assets and professional reputation.
