Custom Dentures, Right Down the Road from Santa Venetia
If you live in Santa Venetia and you are missing teeth, our office sits just down from your neighborhood at 1099 D Street in San Rafael, a short run from the Marin County Civic Center along North San Pedro Road. Because dentures take a handful of fitting and adjustment visits to get right, having your dentist this close keeps each trip short rather than turning it into a project.
Losing teeth changes more than your smile. It changes how you chew, how you speak, and often how comfortable you feel sitting down to a meal with people. Dentures are a long-proven, non-surgical way to bring that function back, and today's materials look and feel far more natural than the dentures many people grew up picturing. At D Street Dental Group, every denture is made to your mouth, not pulled off a shelf, and Dr. Steve refines the fit over follow-up visits until it feels like it belongs to you.
Who Dentures Are Right For
- Missing several teeth, where a partial denture clasps to the healthy ones that remain
- Missing all the teeth in an upper or lower arch, where a full denture restores the whole bite
- Looking for a non-surgical way to replace missing teeth without the cost of multiple implants
- Living with an old, loose, or ill-fitting denture that has stopped holding the way it should
- Curious about a more secure, implant-retained denture that snaps into place instead of slipping
What Your Denture Visits Look Like
- Consultation and impressions We look at your mouth, talk through full, partial, or implant-retained options, and take precise impressions so the denture is built around your bite.
- Custom fabrication Your denture is made to your shade and bite, so it reads as your own teeth rather than as obvious dental work.
- Fitting and adjustments We seat the denture and fine-tune it over a few follow-up visits, which stay quick since Santa Venetia is just down the road.
- 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 Santa Venetia
Santa Venetia is one of the closest neighborhoods to our chair. From there, take North San Pedro Road past the Marin County Civic Center to Highway 101, head south a short stretch into San Rafael, and continue to 1099 D Street. We are on the second floor in Suite 206. Whether you are near the Civic Center, McInnis Park, or the Gallinas Creek waterways, you are only minutes away, which matters for denture care, since the work spans a few short appointments rather than one.
There is street parking along D Street and the surrounding blocks, plus several public lots a short walk away in downtown San Rafael. And every visit, you see the same dentist, Dr. Steve Truman, who learns your name and your history rather than handing you to a rotating lineup at a high-volume chain.
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 work is the core of what he does, so your denture is planned and fit by the same dentist who sees you through every follow-up, and he explains each step clearly so you always know what comes next.
Cost and Membership
Denture cost depends on whether you need a full or partial appliance, the materials chosen, and any extractions or preparatory work, so we give you a clear, itemized estimate before treatment begins. No surprises.
We are out of network with the dental PPOs, but we still bill your plan directly, and out-of-network plans often cover a good portion of covered services. If you don't have insurance, our in-house "D is for Dental" membership takes 20% off treatment, with flexible in-office payment options. See membership plans →
Santa Venetia Denture Questions
How far is D Street Dental Group from Santa Venetia for denture visits?
We are just down the road. From Santa Venetia, take North San Pedro Road past the Marin County Civic Center to Highway 101, head south a short stretch into San Rafael, and you reach our office at 1099 D Street, Suite 206. Because denture care means a few fitting and adjustment visits, having us this close keeps each trip short.
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 in one or more gaps while clasping to your remaining healthy teeth. Dr. Steve will look at how many teeth are missing and the health of the ones that remain, then recommend the option that fits your mouth.
How many visits will my dentures take?
After impressions, your denture is custom-made and usually ready within a few weeks, followed by fitting and adjustment visits to refine comfort. If extractions are needed first, healing time is built into the plan. Since Santa Venetia is a short trip down from the Civic Center, those follow-ups are easy to fit around your week.
Do you take my insurance for dentures if I live in Santa Venetia?
We are out of network with the dental PPOs, but we still bill your plan directly so you can use your benefits. Out-of-network plans often cover a good portion of covered services. If you don't have insurance, our in-house D is for Dental membership takes 20% off restorative & major work, and we give you an itemized estimate before any work begins.
