Dental Practice insurance

Tailored Dental practice insurance that secures coverage for what matters to you

Specialist insurance for dental surgeries

As one of UK's leading insurance brokers, we think it's important to work with a specialist insurance broker, who understands your sector inside out.

Dental practices encounter numerous risk exposures on a daily basis, and we acknowledge each dental surgery's individual challenges. We can offer a policy that covers a large range of risks and safeguards against unanticipated outcomes that may result in a claim which undermines your credibility with patients.

What is Dental Practice insurance?

Dental Practice insurance covers some highly unpredictable events like equipment breakdown, accidental damage to equipment, health and safety accidents and more, depending on your level of cover. It can give you the capacity to look after your practice, personnel, and clients with a peace of mind.

Having the right protection for your exclusive circumstances and possibilities means your dental surgery can be safeguarded if mishaps result in claims and related legal expenses.

What's covered?

From buildings and practice contents to public liability, we can offer policies that meet the specific requirements of your dental practice. Our policy limits can also accommodate the high value machinery and equipment you may need both within and away from the practice.

We can provide you with:

Buildings and Contents Insurance
Employers Liability Insurance
Public Liability Insurance
Business Interruption Insurance
Legal Expenses Insurance

We can also help you with Cyber Insurance

Dental practices are increasingly reliant on technology and are entrusted with large quantities of confidential data, therefore face a range of cyber risks that cannot be ignored. Having a suitable protection in place is crucial for those in the healthcare sector when providing care and services to members of the public and storing their personal information.

Large scale cyber-attacks on the NHS are heard of by many, but individual dental practices are not out of cyber criminals’ radar by any means. A cyber breach could affect your ability to operate, costing your business money as well as potentially damaging your long term reputation.

Howden can offer a solid stand-alone Cyber Insurance policy that is designed to minimise and mitigate these risks. What’s more, we can also provide you with additional support like risk management training for staff, incident response support, business interruption cover, recovery of lost funds, legal defence costs and more.
