Why does the membership tier matter?
If you’re an associate or practice owner you’ll need to have either Extra or Expert membership (respectively) with us to be eligible to apply for this cover.
Our pricing takes into account the resources that come with your membership.
The range of services available to dentists with Extra or Expert membership is second to none and highly regarded. Our one-to-one advisory and support services guide members through tricky times, and the template policies available to Expert members make compliance with national standards straightforward.
Access to this support before things go wrong decreases the risk profile, and because of this, we’ve been able to price the indemnity cover fairly.

If you upgrade from one package to another to be eligible to purchase the cover then we will refund the difference and revert your membership to the original package.
Are there any exceptions?
Dental care professionals are not registered dentists, so they are not eligible to access this policy. However, in cases where the owner of a practice has cover, any registered dental nurses in their employment, will be covered as standard for claims for compensation.
Oral and maxillofacial (OMF) surgeons who carry out procedures within the scope of the specialty of OMF surgery, and who are dually registered with both the GMC and GDC, are not eligible to access the policy. This is because they undertake procedures far removed from the practice of dentistry. Accordingly, we believe that oral and maxillofacial surgery should rightly be indemnified by medical indemnifiers.
