What is...
dental practice insurance?
Dental practices face a wide range of risks every day, so having the right protection in place can be essential.
Dentist insurance is a type of business insurance specifically for dental practices. It can include covers like employers' liability insurance, public liability insurance, stock and contents insurance, legal expenses insurance and business interruption insurance. The covers you actually need, depend on your own unique practice. At Bionic, we do not offer cover for treatments, but we can insure your building, equipment employees and more.
Having the right cover in place for your unique business could help protect you against financial impact of unexpected events.
What types of dental businesses are covered?
Dental practice insurance is suitable to help cover independent dental practices and multi-site dental groups. Every business is unique, so you’ll require a level of protection that reflects the size, structure and day-to-day risks of your dentist practice.
- Small, independent practices - cover that helps protect your premises, equipment and provides liability coverage, while remaining flexible enough to grow with your business.
- Larger dental businesses - For multi-site groups, coverage may need to cover multiple locations and bigger teams and operations, as you may face a broader range of risks.
At Bionic, we don’t offer any medical cover for dentists – this includes procedures, surgery and more. This type of cover requires a specialist policy. However, we it’s likely we can insure your staff, building, stock, dental equipment against damages and public liability in case of trips and falls by visitors. Cover is subject to policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits.
What does dental practice insurance cover?
Policies will vary per insurer, and terms and conditions apply, so always check the small print in your policy wording to see what’s included and excluded. Your insurance policy could include:

Public liability insurance

Employers’ liability insurance

Business interruption insurance

Stock and contents

Commercial building insurance
Business equipment insurance

Legal expenses insurance

Why do dentists need insurance?
In the UK, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement for most businesses who have workers, including dental practices. This can help cover compensation claims if a staff member is injured or becomes ill due to their work. But practices can choose additional cover for broader protection.
If something goes wrong, such as a fire, flood, the right insurance could help cover repair costs and lost income while your practice gets back on its feet. It can also help cover claims if someone slips or trips on a wet floor. Without insurance, these costs would need to be paid out of your own pocket.
How much does dental practice insurance cost?
Dental practice insurance could cost from around 62p a day*
Your dental insurance costs can vary depending on several factors unique to your business, including:
- The size of your practice, and whether you have multiple sites
- The types of services you offer
- The number of employees you have
- The value of your premises and equipment
- Your claims history

Dentist Insurance FAQs
What is covered and not covered by dental practice insurance?
Standard dental practice insurance can include cover to help protect against everyday risks – such as employee injury or illness as a result of work or damage to dental equipment due to an insured event – like a fire or flood.
But you should always check your own policy wording to understand what is included and what isn’t. It won’t cover:
- General wear and tear or poor maintenance of equipment
- Deliberate damage or illegal activity
- Certain high-risk unless declared
At Bionic, we do not offer medical cover for any procedures. You may want to consider specialist cover for any dental or medical procedures that may also include professional indemnity which helps protect against incorrect advice or professional negligence.
Can I insure more than one practice under the same policy?
Yes, at Bionic we can arrange cover for all of your dental practices on one policy all your sites are protected. We can also amend scope of cover if your business changes at all.
How much do I need to insure my practice for?
The scope of your cover and how much it’ll cost will depend on your own unique business. When thinking about cover and limits, you should consider your businesses value and the full replacement value of:
- Equipment and machinery
- Fixtures and fittings
- Stock and supplies
- Potential loss of income
Once you have calculated the value of your business, a broker can help talk you through your options.
