Veneers, a Short Trip East from Kentfield
If you live in Kentfield and want porcelain veneers, D Street Dental Group is a short run east on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, out of the Ross Valley and into downtown San Rafael at 1099 D Street. That puts smile design and veneer work within an easy drive, whether you are coming from near College of Marin or the Bon Air area.
Veneers are thin shells custom-bonded to the front of your teeth to correct chips, gaps, worn edges, and stubborn discoloration in one cohesive design. The aim is not a row of identical, overly white teeth. It is a smile that suits your face and looks like it was always yours.
A Smile Planned Before Treatment
At D Street Dental Group, every veneer case starts with smile design. We plan shade, shape, and proportion before a single tooth is prepared, so you can picture the result rather than hope for it. Dr. Steve's restorative training means each case is mapped with the same care he brings to crowns and bridges.
That planning matters most for the front teeth, where small differences in length and edge shape are what your eye reads as natural. We design to your face first, then build to that design.
Veneers Can Address
- Chipped, cracked, or worn-down front teeth
- Gaps or minor crowding you would rather not treat with braces
- Deep stains or discoloration that whitening cannot reach
- Uneven shape or size, for a balanced, cohesive smile
What to Expect
- Smile-design consultation We talk through your goals and plan shade, shape, and proportion for a result that fits your face.
- Preparation & impressions Teeth are lightly prepared and precise impressions are taken for the lab.
- Custom fabrication Your veneers are crafted to the agreed design while you wear temporaries.
- Bonding & final check Veneers are bonded, refined against your bite, and polished to a natural finish.
Serving Kentfield
From Kentfield, the trip is simple: head east on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard through the Ross Valley toward central San Rafael, then continue to 1099 D Street. If you prefer the freeway, Highway 101 drops you into downtown just as easily. We are on the second floor in Suite 206.
Because veneer work runs across a few appointments, it helps that the drive is short. College of Marin students and staff can slot a visit around a class on the Kentfield campus, and a consultation pairs well with errands at the Bon Air Shopping Center or a stop at the Marin Country Mart in Larkspur. 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.
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. He plans every cosmetic case with the same precision he brings to restorative work, designing your smile before treatment so the outcome is predictable and natural. Kentfield and Ross Valley patients see him personally at every visit, not a rotating roster.
Cost & Payment
Veneer cost depends on how many teeth you are treating and the design of your case, so we give you a clear, itemized estimate after your consultation. No surprises.
We are out of network with all dental PPOs but bill your plan directly, so your Kentfield-area benefits still apply, and out-of-network plans often reimburse a good portion of covered services. Members of our in-house "D is for Dental" plan save 20% on treatment. See membership plans →
