No downtime. Kandelaki Solutions guarantees your income with disability coverage, letting you keep your practice running smoothly.
Why Disability Insurance is Essential for Dentists
Did you know that 28.7% of adults in the U.S. live with a disability, with nearly 30% of those aged 45-64 facing work-impacting health issues? For dentists, the risk is even higher. Your profession requires physical precision, long hours, and repetitive motions, all of which increase the likelihood of injury or illness that could affect your ability to work.

Group vs. Individual Disability Insurance
Understanding the differences between employer-sponsored coverage and individual policies is crucial for comprehensive income protection.
Employer Group Coverage
Short-Term Disability
Typically covers 60-70% of your base salary for 3-6 months, with a 1-2 week elimination period. Often provided at no cost or subsidized by employers.
Long-Term Disability
Usually covers 50-60% of your base salary until retirement age, with a 90-180 day elimination period. Benefits are typically taxable when premiums are employer-paid.
While employer coverage provides a good foundation, it often has significant gaps that can leave professionals financially vulnerable during a disability.
Individual Disability Coverage
Individual disability insurance policies are specifically designed to complement or replace group coverage, providing more comprehensive protection tailored to your specific needs and profession.
Key differences from group coverage:
- Policies stay with you regardless of employment changes
- Benefits typically paid tax-free (when premiums are paid with after-tax dollars)
- Coverage can be tailored with specific riders for your profession
- Higher benefit amounts available, especially for high-income earners
- More favorable definitions of disability for your specific occupation
- Policies stay with you regardless of employment changes
