Replacing Missing Teeth, Close to Home
If you live in Terra Linda and you are missing teeth, D Street Dental Group is a short drive down Las Gallinas Avenue. We sit at 1099 D Street in downtown San Rafael, and Terra Linda is the closest neighborhood to our office, so a denture consultation and the follow-up visits that come with it never turn into an all-day errand.
Dentures are a long-proven, non-surgical way to replace teeth and get your bite and your smile back. The materials we use today look and sit far more naturally than the dentures many people grew up watching their parents fuss with. Here, every denture is made to your mouth rather than pulled off a shelf, and Dr. Steve keeps refining the fit until it feels right and looks like you, not like dental work.
Who Dentures Are Right For
- Missing several teeth, which a partial denture can fill, or every tooth in an arch, which a full denture replaces
- Looking for a non-surgical way to replace teeth without a long surgical timeline
- Living with an old denture that has gone loose or stopped fitting and needs to be remade
- Curious about a steadier, implant-retained denture that stays put while you eat and talk
What to Expect
- Consultation and impressions We look at your mouth, weigh full, partial, and implant-retained options together, and take careful impressions to work from.
- Custom fabrication Your denture is built to match your bite and the shade of your teeth, so it sits comfortably and reads as natural.
- Fitting and adjustments We place the denture and fine-tune it across a few follow-up visits, an easy round trip from Terra Linda, until it feels settled.
- Ongoing care Mouths change over time, so we keep an eye on the fit and adjust as needed to keep things comfortable for the long haul.
Serving Terra Linda
Of all the neighborhoods we see, Terra Linda is the closest to the office. From home, you follow Las Gallinas Avenue down toward central San Rafael and stay on it to 1099 D Street, with no freeway between you and the chair. We are on the second floor in Suite 206.
That short hop matters more for dentures than for a one-and-done visit, because getting the fit right takes a consultation, a fitting, and a couple of adjustments. If you are near the Terra Linda Shopping Center, Freitas Parkway, Northgate, or Terra Linda High School, each of those trips is only a few minutes. For parking, there is street parking along D Street and the surrounding blocks, plus several public lots a short walk away in downtown San Rafael.

Denture Questions
Where do Terra Linda patients go for dentures?
Terra Linda is the closest neighborhood to D Street Dental Group, just down Las Gallinas Avenue at 1099 D Street, Suite 206 in downtown San Rafael. Whether you are near the Terra Linda Shopping Center, Freitas Parkway, or Northgate, you are only a few minutes from the chair. Call (415) 453-0744 to set up a consultation.
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 onto 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 denture be held in place by implants?
Yes. An implant-retained denture snaps onto a few strategically placed implants for a steadier, more secure fit that will not slip when you eat or talk. It is a good upgrade if you are tired of adhesive or a loose lower denture. Ask about implant-supported options at your consultation.
How much do dentures cost for Terra Linda patients?
Cost depends on full versus partial, the materials you choose, and any extractions or preparatory work. We give you a clear, itemized estimate before anything begins, and members of our in-house D is for Dental plan save 20% on treatment. Call (415) 453-0744 to talk it through.
