Howden is one of the leading insurance and indemnity providers, with a team of specialists who have supported dentists and dental practices for over 25 years.
Our approach is straightforward, flexible, practical and based on the 3Cs: Confidence of Cover at a competitive Cost.
Howden’s offering is fit for modern dentistry and the modern world. We are aware that facing a claim can affect not just your reputation and finances, but your emotional health too. Because no-one should be practising under a cloud, stressed until their matter is concluded, Howden provides clients with access to a mental health helpline, for extra support. With Howden, you get the right people on your side, at a time when you need them most, with the CONFIDENCE to carry on doing the job you love.
Contact-based cover
Our COVER is contract-based. We strongly believe this is the best option for dental professionals and practices, for peace of mind in a wide number of scenarios. Contract-based policies deliver guarantees that you will be covered for all terms stated within the policy. It is a legally-binding contract to provide the legal support and financial pay outs that result from any claims made relating to the specified terms.
Contrast this to discretionary cover offered by Mutual Defence Organisations (MDOs). As the name suggests, legal and financial assistance will be at the discretion of the provider, who will consider your case before deciding to proceed.With contract-based insurance, you can see exactly what is covered. Howden’s policies can be tailored to the work you do, and will adapt as your circumstances, such as your scope of practise, changes. Whether you are at the beginning of your career or thinking about retirement, we can help. If you are a practice owner with one or multiple surgeries, Howden will meet the unique needs of your business too.
Quality insurance, affordably priced
We are committed to offering policies at an affordable COST, that do not compromise on quality. Between May and August 2022, 86% of the quotations Howden delivered for dental indemnity showed a saving against existing terms.*
Move providers, with a safety net
If you want CONFIDENCE of COVER that is COST competitive, you may be concerned that moving your policy to Howden will lead to gaps in your cover. But there is no need to worry, as we have fine-tuned the process to make it efficient and hassle-free, with 10 years run-off built in as standard.
