An independent agency for dental practices
Dental Practice Insurance Group is The Allen Thomas Group's dental brand: an independent agency, founded in 2003, with licenses in 28 states. We help dentists, groups and labs line up malpractice and practice coverage in one place.
Why a dental brand exists
Dentists told us the same thing in different words: the malpractice renewal came from one place, the office policy from another, the cyber quote from a third, and nobody had looked at all of it at once. Dental Practice Insurance Group is our answer. Inside The Allen Thomas Group, it's the team whose whole client list is dentists, practice owners, dental groups and dental laboratories.
We're an independent agency. We don't issue policies, and we aren't an insurance company. We compare options from the market, explain the trade-offs and place the coverage you choose. Because we aren't tied to one insurer's forms, our licensed team can tell you where a policy is strong and where it's thin.
What we do differently
- One table for both kinds of risk. Your malpractice policy and your practice package are reviewed together, so the line between them is drawn on purpose.
- Plain explanations before anything is bound. Retroactive dates, tail options, equipment limits and exclusions in words a busy owner can read in five minutes.
- A plan for the next stage. Buying in, building out, adding an office, bringing in a partner or selling: we look at what changes before it changes.
- Certificates handled for you. When a landlord or lender asks for proof, a current client's certificate on existing coverage goes out the same business day.
Who we work with
We work with solo and independent practices, group practices, specialty practices in orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral surgery and pediatric dentistry, multi-location dental groups and DSOs, and dental laboratories. See who we insure
The agency behind the brand
Our parent agency, The Allen Thomas Group, has been independent from its first day in 2003, when its founder, Joe Race, set it up in Akron, Ohio. It now operates in 28 states (NPN 7642818), and every state page on this site shows the license number we hold there. View our licenses
Our licensed team of dental practice specialists handles every account: the questions, the comparison, the paperwork and the renewals. We're available Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Eastern, and a licensed agent responds to new requests within one business day (requests sent on a weekend are answered the following Monday).

How to start
The fastest way is the quote form. It takes about two minutes and asks about your practice type, chairs, procedures and current coverage. A licensed agent reviews your answers and follows up to fill in the details before we compare anything. Start your quote
