I put together a code snippet in another question very recently that does this:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/29149283/4611801

public boolean elementExists(By selector)
{
    try
    {
        driver.findElement(selector)
        return true;
    }
    catch(NoSuchElementException e)
    {
        return false;
    }
}
