Urgent Care Close By
Yes, you can get seen at D Street Dental Group coming from Corte Madera, often the same day. We hold urgent slots open every morning, and reaching us is a quick run north on Highway 101 into downtown San Rafael, where we're at 1099 D Street. A dental emergency doesn't wait for a convenient afternoon, so neither do we.
The one thing that helps most is simple: call (415) 453-0744 as early in the morning as you can. The earlier we hear from you, the better the odds we can fit you in that day, get you out of pain, and set a plan to fix the tooth the right way.

Why D Street Dental Group
Dr. Steve Truman
Dr. Steve earned his DDS at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and served as a clinical instructor there. He cares about how your mouth fits into your overall health, so an emergency visit starts with calm pain relief, then a thorough fix of the underlying problem so it holds up over time. You see the same dentist start to finish, no being passed around.
Serving Corte Madera
Corte Madera sits in southern Marin, just off Highway 101, so getting to us in an urgent moment is a short drive north up the freeway into downtown San Rafael. If your day already has you near The Village at Corte Madera or Town Center Corte Madera when a tooth gives out, the next town up the highway is a reasonable place to head.
When you arrive, we're at 1099 D Street, on the second floor in Suite 206. You'll find street parking along D Street and the nearby blocks, plus a few public lots within a short walk in downtown San Rafael, so getting from the car to the chair is straightforward even on a rough day.
Cost & Membership
Most urgent visits begin with an exam and X-ray to find the cause, followed by treatment to relieve the pain and stabilize the tooth. You get an itemized estimate before we start any work, so there's nothing unexpected when it's time to settle up.
We're out of network with the dental PPOs, but we bill your plan directly so your benefits still apply, and out-of-network reimbursement often covers a good portion of covered services. If you're uninsured, our in-house "D is for Dental" membership takes 20% off restorative & major work. See membership plans →
Emergency Questions
Can I get same-day emergency dental care coming from Corte Madera?
Yes. We hold urgent slots open Monday through Thursday, and from Corte Madera it's a short drive north on Highway 101 into downtown San Rafael to reach us at 1099 D Street. Call (415) 453-0744 as early in the morning as you can, the sooner we hear from you, the better the chance we can see you that day.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A severe toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost crown or filling, swelling, or bleeding that won't stop are all reasons to call. If you're in significant pain or have facial swelling, phone (415) 453-0744 right away. When you're not sure, call us anyway and we'll help you decide what to do next.
What should I do for a knocked-out tooth on the drive up from Corte Madera?
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and if you can, place it back in the socket or tuck it in a cup of milk. Then call us at (415) 453-0744 so we're ready when you arrive. Getting seen quickly gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
How much does emergency dental care cost, and do you take my insurance?
It depends on what's needed. Most urgent visits start with an exam and X-ray to find the cause, then treatment to relieve pain and stabilize the tooth, and we give you an itemized estimate before we begin. We're out of network with the dental PPOs but bill your plan directly so your benefits still apply, and our in-house D is for Dental membership takes 20% off restorative & major work if you're uninsured.
