Yes, You Can Get Implants Here from Larkspur
If you live in Larkspur and you're missing a tooth, you can have the whole implant journey handled at D Street Dental Group. We're a short drive north on Highway 101 from downtown Larkspur into downtown San Rafael, at 1099 D Street, and we see Larkspur patients through every step, from the first consultation to the day the final crown goes in.
A missing tooth is more than a gap you can see. It changes how you chew, lets neighboring teeth drift out of position, and over time can lead to bone loss in the jaw. A dental implant addresses all three by replacing the tooth at the root, not just the visible crown. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses to form a stable foundation, and a custom crown matched to your natural teeth is attached on top. The result looks, feels, and works like a real tooth.
Who 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 affects your bite, your speech, or how you feel about your smile
- Hoping to protect your remaining teeth from shifting and your jaw from bone loss
Even if another office told you there isn't enough bone to work with, that isn't always the final word. The only way to know is an evaluation, and that's where Dr. Steve starts.
What to Expect
- Consultation & digital exam We look at the site with digital X-rays, talk through your health, and lay out a clear plan and timeline before anything begins, so you know how the drive from Larkspur fits your schedule.
- Implant placement The titanium post is placed with local anesthetic. Most patients find it more comfortable than they expected.
- Healing & integration The implant fuses with your jawbone over several weeks to months, forming a permanent foundation.
- Your custom crown A precision crown, shaded to match your smile, is attached, restoring 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 what he does. For a Larkspur patient that means one dentist who plans your case before treatment starts and sees it through to the end, rather than the rotating providers you tend to meet at a busy chain.
Serving Larkspur
Larkspur sits in southern Marin just off Highway 101, so reaching us is a quick run north up the freeway into downtown San Rafael, where we're at 1099 D Street, second floor, Suite 206. If your day already takes you along Magnolia Avenue in downtown Larkspur, through Marin Country Mart, or out to the Larkspur Landing ferry terminal, folding an implant visit into the trip to the next town up is simple.
Because an implant is placed over a few appointments, we try to group steps where we can and schedule around your week, including the morning before a ferry commute. You'll find street parking along D Street and the surrounding blocks, plus several public lots a short walk away in downtown San Rafael.
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. Pricing is the same whether you drive in from Larkspur or live around the corner.
We're out of network for all dental insurance, but we bill your plan directly so you can still use your benefits, often a good portion of covered services for out-of-network care. Our in-house "D is for Dental" membership takes 20% off implant treatment, with flexible in-office payment plans available. See membership plans →
