Insurance for Dental Professionals

Let's Talk

Risk Strategies specializes in insurance and risk management for the dental profession. Whether you are still in dental school and learning about insurance for the first time — or you manage a group of 200 dental offices across the U.S. — we help you find the right insurance solutions for your professional and personal needs.

30 years of specialty expertise

The Risk Strategies Dental Practice started as Wallace Specialty Insurance Group, experts who focus exclusively on the needs of dentists, dental practices, and related oral health businesses. For over 30 years, we’ve been collaborating with individuals and businesses to design comprehensive insurance and risk management programs.

Protect your professional reputation, employees, property, and more

We understand the career journey from dental school to established practice — and how insurance requirements differ based on roles and dental specialties. You won’t find this level of industry expertise from an insurance generalist.

With Risk Strategies, you gain access to the broadest selection of insurance options available in the marketplace. If you’re a new graduate, dental associate, or practice owner, our advisors help you build an insurance program that supports your financial goals, as well as the wealth and assets you create.
