Veneers Close to Home
If you live in Terra Linda and you want porcelain veneers, the nearest place to do it well is right down Las Gallinas Avenue. D Street Dental Group sits at 1099 D Street in downtown San Rafael, only a few minutes from the Terra Linda Shopping Center, so your smile-design consultation is practically around the corner.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells custom-bonded to the front of your teeth, correcting 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. Dr. Steve Truman plans each case with smile design first, so the result blends in rather than announcing itself.
What 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 lift
- Uneven shape or size, brought into a balanced, cohesive smile
What to Expect
- Smile-design consultation We talk through what you want changed and plan shade, shape, and proportion before any tooth is touched.
- Preparation & impressions Teeth are lightly prepared and precise impressions go to the lab so your veneers fit exactly.
- Custom fabrication Your veneers are crafted to the agreed design while you wear temporaries and carry on as usual.
- Bonding & final check Veneers are bonded, refined against your bite, and polished to a natural finish.
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 brings the same precision to cosmetic cases that he brings to restorative work, designing your smile before treatment so the outcome is predictable and natural. Terra Linda patients see him at every visit, not a rotating cast.
Serving Terra Linda
Of all the neighborhoods we see, Terra Linda is the closest to our chair. From home you simply follow Las Gallinas Avenue down toward central San Rafael and continue to 1099 D Street, where we are on the second floor in Suite 206. If you are near the Terra Linda Shopping Center, Freitas Parkway, Northgate, or Terra Linda High School, you are only a few minutes away, with no freeway between you and your appointment.
That short hop matters for a veneer case, which usually takes a couple of visits. You can come in for your consultation and prep, head home, then return for bonding once your veneers are ready, all without rearranging your whole day. 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.
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 for dental insurance but still bill your PPO directly so you can use your benefits, and we offer flexible in-office payment plans. Members of our in-house "D is for Dental" plan save 20% on treatment. See membership plans →
