Replace Missing Teeth, Comfortably
If you live in Kentfield and want dentures fit by a dentist you will see at every visit, D Street Dental Group is a short trip east on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard out of the Ross Valley into downtown San Rafael. Denture care happens over a handful of appointments across a few weeks, so a familiar, manageable drive is part of what makes the whole thing easier.
Losing teeth changes more than your smile. It changes how you chew, how you speak, and often how you feel sitting down to a meal. Dentures are a long-proven, non-surgical way to bring that function back, and today's materials look and fit far better than the dentures many people remember from years ago.
Here, your dentures are made to your mouth rather than pulled off a shelf. Dr. Steve builds each one to your bite, refines the fit across follow-up visits, and aims for a result that looks like you, not like dental work.
Who Dentures Are Right For
- Missing several teeth (a partial denture) or all the teeth in an arch (a full denture)
- Looking for a non-surgical way to replace teeth and get back to eating comfortably
- Living with an old, loose, or worn-out denture that has stopped fitting the way it should
- Curious about a more secure, implant-retained denture that stays put when you eat and talk
What to Expect
- Consultation & impressions We look at your mouth, talk through full versus partial versus implant-retained, and take precise impressions so the fit starts on the right foot.
- Custom fabrication Your denture is built to your bite and tooth shade, so it sits comfortably and reads as natural when you smile.
- Fitting & adjustments We place the denture and fine-tune it over follow-up visits until it feels right, not just close.
- Ongoing care Mouths change over time, so we check the fit at your regular visits and adjust as needed to keep things comfortable for the long haul.
Serving Kentfield
From Kentfield, our office is a short trip east on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, out of the Ross Valley and into downtown San Rafael at 1099 D Street. That keeps us within easy reach of the homes around College of Marin and the Bon Air area, so a denture fitting or an adjustment slots into a normal day. If you would rather take the freeway, Highway 101 drops you into downtown just as easily.
We are on the second floor in Suite 206. There is street parking along D Street and the surrounding blocks, plus several public lots a short walk away. Because denture care runs across a few visits, College of Marin students and staff often pair an appointment with a class on the Kentfield campus, and Ross Valley families tie one in with errands at the Bon Air Shopping Center or a stop at the Marin Country Mart in Larkspur.
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. Restorative care is the core of his practice. He plans and fits every denture himself, sees you at each visit, and explains the steps clearly so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Cost & Membership
Denture cost depends on full versus partial, the materials chosen, and any extractions or preparatory work, so we give you a clear, itemized estimate first. No surprises.
We are out of network with the dental PPOs, but we bill your plan directly so your benefits still apply, often a good portion of covered services. Without insurance, our in-house "D is for Dental" membership takes 20% off treatment, with flexible in-office payment plans. See membership plans →
Denture Questions
How far is D Street Dental Group from Kentfield for denture appointments?
From Kentfield you head east on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard out of the Ross Valley into downtown San Rafael, where we sit at 1099 D Street. Denture care takes a handful of visits over a few weeks, so a short, familiar drive matters, and this is a straightforward one whether you come from near College of Marin or the Bon Air area.
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
A full denture replaces all the teeth in an arch when no natural teeth remain. A partial denture fills one or more gaps while clasping to your remaining healthy teeth. Dr. Steve recommends the right option based on how many teeth are missing and the health of the ones that remain.
Can my dentures be supported by implants?
Yes. Implant-retained dentures snap onto a few placed implants for a more secure fit that does not slip when you eat or speak. It is a good upgrade if you are tired of adhesive or a loose lower denture. We handle implants and dentures in the same office, so Ross Valley patients keep the whole plan in one place.
Do you take my insurance if I live in Kentfield?
We are out of network with the dental PPOs, but we bill your plan directly so your benefits still apply, often a good portion of covered services. Without insurance, our in-house D is for Dental membership takes 20% off restorative & major work. We give an itemized estimate before any denture work begins.
