Dentists Benefits Insurance Company (DBIC) and Northwest Dentists Insurance Company (NORDIC), acquired by The Dentists Insurance Company (TDIC) in February 2017, merged with, and into, their parent company, TDIC, effective January 1, 2019, after final regulatory approval.

The merger was approved by the California Department of Insurance, the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation, and the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner.

As a result of the merger, DBIC and NORDIC are now united as one company operating as The Dentists Insurance Company. The name and logo have changed and, according to a press release from new company, policyholders can expect a smooth transition with no disruption to the service.

“The merger gives policyholders peace of mind, knowing that TDIC has a single vision to only protect dentists,” said TDIC Board Chair Daniel Davidson, DMD. “For nearly 40 years, TDIC has provided exceptional service and high-quality products to our policyholders and we will continue this legacy with the merging of DBIC and NORDIC.”

TDIC focuses exclusively on supporting the dental profession, offering a suite of professional insurance products to more than 24,000 dentists in 15 states. With this merger, TDIC adds an additional 5,000+ policyholders in five states.
