Ratings, recommendations and reputation all impact dentists’ confidence in their insurer. Look for objective measures of strength and service.
Your relationship with your insurance carrier is one built on trust. You’re seeking a long-term partner that keeps pace with changes in your life and practice, as well as the unique needs of the dental profession.
Want assurance that your insurer understands the best ways to protect you? Listen to what your peers have to say! Three key measures are satisfaction ratings, authentic recommendations and a solid reputation.
Showing up when you need them
Access to objective information about insurers’ level of service can help you make informed decisions. Other dentists’ experiences with their carrier illustrate what you can expect when you face a case, claim or challenge.
In February 2026, The Dentists Insurance Company was once again awarded Best of Insurance for Client Satisfaction from ClearlyRated.* That’s three years in a row! This sustained recognition reflects TDIC’s commitment to proactive, personalized service. The majority of dentists surveyed rated TDIC 9+ on a scale of 1 to 10, exceeding the performance of other insurance companies by more than 50%.
Those high rankings join TDIC’s sustained A rating from A.M. Best and endorsement by several dental associations and societies.
The trust of your colleagues
While ratings are a strong indicator of company strength, dentists often rely on peers and brokers for coverage recommendations. If facing a claim, you’ll want the peace of mind that your insurer is in your corner.
To protect their peers in a climate of skyrocketing malpractice rates, a small group of dental association members founded TDIC in 1980. Today, the company has since grown to protect dentists across 15 states—with a board led by dentists and products approved by peers.
This leadership develops the policies, procedures and regulations for the operation of TDIC and its designated broker, TDIC Insurance Solutions. If, for example, the company’s underwriters were not going to insure a dentist, that individual would have the opportunity to appeal to a panel of their peers. From reviewing trends to auditing service processes, TDIC keeps the best interests of dentists at heart as the company evolves and grows.
Dentistry-focused experience
To protect dentists better than any other insurer, a company also must understand their profession better. TDIC’s analysts, legal team and in-house claims unit all deliver specialized expertise. Policyholders benefit from one-on-one risk management guidance, continuing education on trending topics, and resources to prepare for, prevent and respond to practice challenges.
With a singular focus on dentists for more than 45 years, TDIC offers strong protection for every stage of practice, as well as free policy reviews to uncover gaps and better coverage options to stay ahead of today’s risks.
