Care When You Need It Now
If you're in Santa Venetia and a tooth turns into an emergency, you don't have to drive far. We're just down North San Pedro Road, past the Marin County Civic Center, at 1099 D Street in San Rafael, and we hold same-day slots open Monday through Thursday for urgent care. A throbbing toothache, a tooth that cracked at dinner, a crown that came loose, these need attention quickly, both to settle the pain and to protect the tooth.
The first step is the simplest one: 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 same day, get you comfortable, and lay out a plan to fix the problem the right way.
Emergencies We See Often
- Severe or lingering toothaches
- Broken, cracked, or knocked-out teeth
- Crowns or fillings that came loose or fell out
- Swelling, abscesses, or sore gums
- A blow or injury to the mouth or jaw
How Your Visit Goes
- Call us first Phone (415) 453-0744 first thing. We listen to what's going on, talk you through what to do on the way, and hold a same-day slot.
- A quick, careful look When you arrive, we examine the tooth, usually with a digital X-ray, to find the real cause rather than guessing.
- Comfort and stability We ease the pain and steady the tooth so things don't get worse while we plan the repair.
- A clear next step We walk you through your options and an itemized estimate, then schedule any follow-up work at a pace that suits you.
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 there as a clinical instructor. His restorative focus shapes how emergencies are handled here: calmly and thoroughly, easing the pain first, then fixing what caused it so the repair holds. He also keeps an eye on how the mouth connects to the rest of your health, not just the tooth in front of him.
Cost & Membership
Many emergency visits begin with an exam and X-ray to pin down the problem, then treatment to relieve pain and stabilize the tooth. Before we start, we give you an itemized estimate so you know what to expect. No surprises.
We're out of network for all dental insurance, though we still file your PPO claim directly so you can use your benefits, often a good portion of covered services. If you're uninsured, our in-house "D is for Dental" membership includes one emergency exam per year plus 20% off restorative & major work, with flexible payment plans. See membership plans →

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 dental emergencies. If you're in significant pain or have facial swelling, call (415) 453-0744 right away. When you're not sure, call anyway and we'll help you decide what to do next.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, gently rinse it without scrubbing, and if you can, place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Then head our way and call (415) 453-0744 on the road. From Santa Venetia it's a short trip down North San Pedro Road, and getting seen quickly gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
