Services
Preventative Dentistry
Regular exams, cleanings, and oral cancer screenings prevent dental issues before they escalate. Our team educates patients on proper brushing and flossing techniques to maintain optimal oral health. Early detection of systemic diseases through mouth examinations ensures comprehensive patient care.
Dental Implants
Permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts that fuse with jawbone for lasting stability. Implants prevent bone loss and restore natural chewing function while improving facial aesthetics. Full-mouth restoration options like implant dentures provide secure alternatives to traditional prosthetics.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade treatments remove stains and discoloration for a radiant smile. Custom take-home trays and in-office procedures deliver noticeable results safely. Whitening enhances confidence by improving tooth color without invasive procedures.
Invisalign
Nearly invisible plastic trays gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. Custom treatment plans address gaps, overcrowding, and bite issues through sequential aligner changes. Removable trays allow normal eating and oral hygiene during orthodontic therapy.
Periodontal Maintenance
Ongoing treatment for gum disease includes deep cleanings and laser therapy to eliminate bacterial pockets. Regular maintenance prevents tooth loss by stabilizing infected gum tissue and supporting structures. Early intervention stops progression of periodontal infections.

Great dentists. Great support staff. Cleanings are very reasonable. They work with you to create a care plan. Everyone at the office has always been extremely professional and really nice. I had a crown put in and they created it on site. Took hardly any time at all, the procedure was quick and painless and the crown is rock solid and fits perfectly. I cannot recommend them enough.

Signed up for a periodontal cleaning but received a more than superficial cleaning . the hygienist did not floss under my bridge or implants. She mostly scraped my teeth instead of using ultrasound . the irony is that she later explained to me how damaging the scraping is for teeth and that was 90 % of her doing . my gum pockets were not looked at or measured . instead she told me that I don't have the gum disease which destroys bone which is not in accordance with what my periodontist told me . on top of all this i was told that my implants might fall out soon and that i needed

Very efficient, organized operation with excellent dentists and staff. You realize the quality of dental care when you look around at other options. This practice is excellent. My insurance won't cover Invisalign through this dentist, but I'm willing to spend the extra $1500 out of pocket I would have had through insurance because I'm just not willing to compromise on the quality of my dental care.

I was very pleased with having a new crown. I actually had no pain with removing part of an old tooth and filling. Maria fitted me for the crown and made it on site. Maria and Dr Chase we're very professional and kind. So surprised they did the whole thing in one visit.

I was greeted by friendly receptionists the moment I walked into Marin Dental. My exam included a thorough cleaning and ex-rays. Dr. Chase's recommendations for the future care of my teeth solidifies my decision to bring my business to Marin Dental Care.

I went to them in August 2021. I needed 2 crowns and a filling. They were very thorough and did a great job with my tiny mouth, which definitely was a challenge for them. The 2 crowns were made in a jiffy and off I went. They were gentle -- Rosa, the dental assistant and the doctor were really good. I'm glad I went to them to get a 2nd opinion. I will now refer my husband to them.
