Novato sits at the northern end of Marin, and our office is a straight shot down Hwy 101 — close enough for a lunch-break visit, far enough to feel like a calm break from the day. Patients from Novato come to us because we keep every specialty under one roof, so you're not bounced from office to office for an implant, a root canal, or a same-day crown. We focus on trust, comfort, and long-lasting, aesthetics-first work — the kind of care that's worth the short trip.
Getting here from Novato: From Novato it's about 18-20 minutes and roughly 13 miles south on Hwy 101 to our Kentfield office. Take the Sir Francis Drake exit into the Ross Valley and you're just a few minutes from the door — easy to fit around work or the school run.
Why Novato chooses Kentfield Dental

From same-day CEREC crowns and implants to Invisalign, root canals, and oral surgery, every specialty is handled in-house — so a drive down from Novato usually means one office, not three.

Care that's built to last
Dr. G continues Kentfield's decades-long legacy with conservative, perfectionism-driven dentistry — aesthetics-first work meant to look natural and hold up for years.
Out-of-network, hassle-free
We're fee-for-service, but we maximize your insurance and handle the claim paperwork for you — so the value of the trip is in the care, not the runaround.
