Implant Care a Short Drive North
If you're in Corte Madera and want a missing tooth replaced for good, the answer is a quick run north on Highway 101 into downtown San Rafael, where we're at 1099 D Street, Suite 206. The trip drops you with one dentist, Dr. Steve Truman, who plans the whole case himself instead of passing you between offices.
A missing tooth is more than a gap you can see. It changes how you chew, lets neighboring teeth drift out of line, and over time can thin the bone in your jaw. A dental implant addresses all three by replacing the tooth where it counts, at the root. A titanium post is set into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to form a steady base, and a custom crown shaded to your natural teeth is fixed on top. The result looks and works like a real tooth, and it is one of the more predictable, long-lasting ways to replace one.
Who Dental Implants Are Right For
An implant tends to be a strong fit if you are:
- Missing one tooth, several teeth, or looking for a steadier alternative to dentures
- Wanting a replacement that stays put, with no slipping, clicking, or adhesive
- Tired of a gap that gets in the way of your bite, your speech, or your confidence
- Hoping to keep your remaining teeth from shifting and your jawbone from thinning out
Even if another office has told you there isn't enough bone to work with, options may still be on the table. The way to find out is an evaluation, and that is where Dr. Steve begins.
What to Expect
- Consultation & digital exam We look at the site with digital X-rays, go over your health, and lay out a clear plan and timeline before anything starts, so the drive up from Corte Madera is one you make knowing the steps ahead.
- Implant placement The titanium post is set with local anesthetic. Most patients find the appointment easier than they pictured.
- Healing & integration The implant fuses with your jawbone over several weeks to months, building a permanent foundation underneath.
- Your custom crown A precise crown, shaded to blend with your smile, is attached, bringing back full function and appearance.
Why D Street Dental Group
Dr. Steve Truman
Dr. Steve earned his DDS from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and served as a clinical instructor training first-year dental students. Restorative work, implants, crowns, and full-mouth rebuilds, is the heart of his practice. Every case is mapped out precisely before treatment begins and explained in plain terms, so you leave understanding your own mouth better than when you arrived. For Corte Madera patients, that means the same hands and the same plan at each visit, not a rotating cast.
Cost & Membership
Implant cost depends on how many teeth you're replacing and any preparatory work, so we give you a clear, itemized estimate before treatment starts. No surprises.
We're out of network for all dental insurance, yet we bill your plan directly so your benefits still apply, and out-of-network PPO plans often cover a good portion of covered services. With no insurance, our in-house "D is for Dental" membership takes 20% off implant treatment, with flexible in-office payment plans available. See membership plans →
