Care When You Need It Now
If you're in Larkspur with a dental emergency, the office that can help is a quick run north on Highway 101 into downtown San Rafael. We hold same-day slots open Monday through Thursday for urgent care, so a throbbing tooth or a crown that came off at dinner doesn't have to wait for another week.
Dental emergencies don't pick a convenient moment. The first step is simple: 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 same day, get you out of pain, and lay out a plan to fix the tooth properly. Then it's just the short drive up the freeway.

Serving Larkspur
Larkspur sits in southern Marin just off Highway 101, so reaching us in an emergency is a short drive north up the freeway into downtown San Rafael, where we're at 1099 D Street. If your day was already taking you along Magnolia Avenue in downtown Larkspur, through Marin Country Mart, or out to the Larkspur Landing ferry terminal, the office is only the next town up the 101.
When you arrive, take Highway 101 north, exit into central San Rafael, and continue to 1099 D Street, where we're on the second floor in Suite 206. You'll find street spots along D Street and the surrounding blocks, plus several public lots a short walk away in downtown San Rafael. Map below.
