Disability Insurance for Dentists

Safeguard your dental career and financial future

Dentists face unique challenges that make protecting their income and practice essential. Your livelihood depends on performing precise procedures, but injuries, illnesses, or unexpected issues can jeopardize your financial stability.

Our Dental Practice team specializes in securing comprehensive disability insurance tailored to dentists’ needs, ensuring you’re prepared for unforeseen circumstances.

The importance of disability insurance

Dentistry involves specific risks, like repetitive strain injuries from long hours of intricate procedures, exposure to infectious diseases, or mental fatigue from running a practice. These factors highlight the need for financial protection.

Disability insurance acts as a safety net, keeping your life and practice stable if an illness or injury prevents you from working.

How disability insurance protects you

Disability insurance provides comprehensive support to safeguard your career and financial health:

• Replaces Lost Income: If you can’t practice, your policy replaces 50–60% of your income.
• Keeps Your Practice Operational: Coverage helps with overhead expenses like rent, utilities, and staff salaries.
• Supports Personal Financial Responsibilities: Policies can cover student loan repayments or business debt during recovery.
• Preserves Your Future Plans: Avoid using savings or retirement funds with structured benefits designed for dentists.
• With this protection, you can focus on recovery, knowing your financial future is secure.

Key policy features

A disability insurance policy for dentists offers more than basic income replacement, with benefits tailored to your profession:

• Own-Occupation Definition: Ensures benefits if you can’t practice dentistry, even if you work in another field.
• Residual Disability Coverage: Provides partial benefits if you return to work part-time or in a limited capacity.
• Future Increase Options: Allows coverage to grow with your career and income.
• Student Loan Repayment Rider: Supports repayment of educational loans during disability.
• Practice Overhead Expense Rider: Covers operating costs to keep your practice running during recovery.

These features provide flexibility, scalability, and peace of mind throughout your career.
