FOR YOUR REPUTATION

Professional Liability Insurance For Dentists

Keep yourself protected. Let’s insure your professional reputation as a dentist.

Partnered with Fortress

We’re partnered with Fortress Protection for Dentistry to provide powerful practice protection exclusively for dentists.

As the premier representative of the Fortress Insurance Company for dentists in the Upper Midwest for more than 20 years, Fortress Protection for Dentistry was founded by dentists and consistently receives high ratings from AM Best.

And since Fortress insures only dentists, your premiums are not inflated by risks incurred by other medical specialties.

Partnered with OMSNIC

The OMS National Insurance Company (OMSNIC) provides comprehensive medical professional liability insurance coverage designed to protect the unique practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

OMSNIC is owned and operated by oral and maxillofacial surgeons and insures more than 80% of the specialty. We are proud to support their mission of protecting your practice, your reputation, and your future.

FOR YOUR PRACTICE

Business Owners Policy

Protect your practice’s property, and mitigate risk with our comprehensive business owner’s policies and malpractice insurance.

Business Owners Policy

A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) conveniently bundles business property and general liability insurance into one package. This single policy offers protection against claims resulting from property damage (like fire or theft) and liability issues arising from your operations, such as bodily injury or property damage to others. It also typically includes coverage for loss of business income following a covered property loss.

Entity Malpractice

Entity Malpractice Insurance will protect your business, your staff, and your partners against malpractice claims. Without it, you may be held liable for a malpractice claim made against your dentists—even if they have their own malpractice insurance.

Other coverage that may be essential to your unique business needs, including:

  • Cyber Liability
  • ERISA Bonds
  • Business Overhead Insurance
  • Employment Practices Liability Insurance

FOR YOUR TEAM

Insure Your Most Valuable Business Asset

At Walsh, we empower you to boost employee loyalty and retention by offering the comprehensive benefits packages and essential safety net options that your team deserves.

  • Employee Benefits
  • Workers Compensation
  • NYS Disability Insurance (NYS Only)

FOR YOUR FAMILY & YOUR ASSETS

Protect what’s most personal to you.

At Walsh, we’ll design an insurance program to protect what you’ve worked hard for and treasure most. Our clients trust that we’ll handle their personal insurance with the same interest and level of quality as their business insurance – and that’s exactly what we deliver.
