Insurance for Dentists

Dentistry is a profession built on precision, reputation, and trust—and your insurance strategy should reflect the same standard. The General Agency has focused on protecting dental professionals for more than seventy years, offering coverage designed to match every stage of your career, from dental school through practice ownership. Whether you’re safeguarding your income, your practice, or your long-term financial future, we provide guidance grounded in deep industry knowledge and long-standing carrier relationships.

Graduating dental school comes with excitement — and a lot of financial responsibility. We help new dentists secure essential coverage that protects their license and income without locking them into policies they don’t yet need.


Our goal is simple: help you understand your options, avoid common mistakes, and build a foundation you can grow into as your career develops

Protect Your Career, Your Practice, and Your Financial Future

Insurance solutions designed exclusively for dental professionals

Dentists face unique exposures that general insurance policies simply don’t address—clinical injury risk, malpractice claims, data breaches, business overhead obligations, and the personal financial commitments that come with a demanding career. Our role is to simplify these decisions while giving you clarity and confidence in every policy you choose.


We start by understanding where you are in your dental journey—new graduate, associate, specialist, or practice owner—and then tailor recommendations to your specific needs. Whether your priority is income protection, practice stability, or long-term planning, our advisor-led approach ensures you never receive generic, copy-and-paste coverage. Every policy is built intentionally to support your goals, reduce financial risk, and keep your career moving forward.

Disability Insurance

Your hands are your livelihood and your ability to earn an income is your most valuable asset. We offer true own-occupation coverage that helps supplement your income if an injury or illness prevents you from practicing - even if you can work in another field.

Business Owner’s Protection

An office property policy commonly referred to as a Business Owners Policy (BOP) is one of the most comprehensive and flexible coverages available for your office. It protects your office property (building, condo, or leased space), your contents, and your general liability. It also covers exposures like equipment breakdown and business income. When structured properly, it can even safeguard against risks you may not have considered. We understand your practice, the exposures you face, and how to tailor a BOP to address them effectively.

Workers’ Compensation

Workers compensation is designed to cover the costs associated with an on the job injury or illness suffered by employees of the practice. Those costs include medical, disability and lost wages. A business owner is required to carry workers compensation in most states but even where not required, the laws are stacked against employers who don’t.
