Dr. Rod Strober is a highly experienced cosmetic and implant dentist with nearly 30 years of delivering top-notch, patient-centered care. Having built successful practices in Boston and San Diego, he now brings his expertise to Rancho Mirage as the owner of Country Club Dentistry.
Building a Foundation
Dr. Strober's journey began on Long Island, New York, where his interest in the intricate blend of art and science led him to pursue a career in dentistry. He graduated from Skidmore College in 1989 with a strong foundation in both science and liberal arts. He continued his education at The State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, where he earned his degree in 1993. This educational path allowed him to merge his artistic sensibilities with scientific precision, shaping his approach as a general and cosmetic dentist.
After graduation, Dr. Strober practiced in Boston for 14 years, where he honed his skills and developed a patient-focused philosophy that would become the cornerstone of his career. The cold winters eventually led him to move to San Diego, where he seized the opportunity to start his own practice.
Creating a Community
In San Diego, Dr. Strober transformed a modest practice into a thriving enterprise. His dedication to patient care and his commitment to utilizing the latest technologies and techniques in dentistry allowed him to build a strong, loyal patient base. His practice, which grew to be worth $2.5 million, was known for its outstanding customer service and innovative treatments.
Dr. Strober has always believed in treating patients like family, understanding their needs, and providing care with empathy and compassion. This philosophy, combined with his commitment to staying current with dental advancements, has earned him a reputation for excellence.
Mastery in Dental Implants
One of Dr. Strober’s areas of expertise is dental implants. In 2019, he achieved a Mastership from the International Dental Implant Association, a distinction that required over 250 hours of continuing education and the surgical placement of more than 50 dental implants. Over his career, he has placed well over 1,000 implants, helping patients restore their smiles and improve their oral health. His expertise includes advanced procedures like All-On-X, which uses 4-6 dental implants to support a permanent porcelain hybrid bridge, offering both functional and esthetic benefits.
Dr. Strober’s Return to Dentistry
After 25 years of practice in Boston and San Diego, Dr. Strober decided to retire to Rancho Mirage. However, his passion for dentistry and his desire to serve the community led him back to the field. He acquired Country Club Dentistry, where he applies the same dedication to quality care and patient-centered service that defined his earlier practices.
In his current role, Dr. Strober offers a comprehensive range of services, from routine dental care to complex cosmetic and restorative procedures. He continues to focus on providing personalized care in a comfortable, modern setting, ensuring that each patient feels valued and understood.
Embracing Innovation
Dr. Strober is a firm believer in the power of technology to enhance patient care. At Country Club Dentistry, he uses advanced equipment like the CEREC machine, which allows him to design and mill custom crowns in a single visit. This innovation not only speeds up the process but also improves the precision and esthetic quality of the results.
In addition to his technical skills, Dr. Strober offers cosmetic treatments like BioClear, a minimally invasive procedure that can correct discoloration, gaps, and other imperfections without unnecessary drilling. This technique strengthens teeth while delivering dramatic, natural-looking improvements in a single appointment.
Active Recreation
While dentistry is a significant part of Dr. Strober’s life, he also enjoys staying active outside the office. His hobbies include working out, playing pickleball, and participating in step aerobics, which help him maintain a balanced and energetic lifestyle.
Dr. Rod Strober is excited to continue his legacy of excellence at Country Club Dentistry in Rancho Mirage, where he combines nearly three decades of experience with a passion for patient care. For appointments and more information, call (760) 832-7915
