TDIC's mission is to support dental professionals in their practice and service to the public by providing the best value insurance products and related services. We've been delivering on this promise ever since we were built by dentists in 1980, and since then we've remarkably grown our community of dentists and earned the endorsement of several state dental associations. With the merger of DBIC and NORDIC into TDIC in 2019, we serve more than 24,000 dentists in 15 states.
Our success is due in no small part to building lifelong personal relationships with our policyholders. By consistently reviewing trends, auditing service processes, listening to our policyholders and responding to changing markets, we can develop innovative products and services that help dentists practice more efficiently and confidently. In fact, TDIC has been rated A (Excellent) by AM Best Company for 27 consecutive years.
Today, TDIC continues to evolve and deliver on the promise to protect our policyholders better than any other insurance company.
