Dr. David Struble grew up in Dallas, TX, and graduated from the University of Texas and Baylor College of Dentistry. He began his practice in Ozark, MO, in the spring of 1985, and his loyal following has grown steadily through a commitment to fun, caring, and quality service in every patient visit.
Dr. Struble feels truly blessed to have developed thousands of positive relationships with these patients. His professional memberships include the American Dental Association and the Missouri Dental Association, where he has served as a national and state delegate to their annual conventions. He has also served many years as a board member of the Greater Springfield Dental Society. He is a member of the Pierre Fauchard Academy Honor Society and is a member of the International Academy of Sleep, which is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea and related disorders.
In 2007, Dr. Struble was chosen as the Dentist of the Year for the Missouri Dental Association. He was chosen largely in recognition of his instrumental role in the establishment of the Childrens Smile Center, a not-for-profit group of clinics that provides dental care for Medicaid-eligible children in Southwest Missouri. Dr. Struble has completed thousands of hours of continued education in dentistry to enhance his practice to include the latest in general and cosmetic dental services, including veneers, dentures, root canals, adult orthodontics, tooth-colored fillings, and oral surgery.
Many people throughout the Ozarks still refer to Dr. Struble as The Singing Dentist, in reference to his side career as a lead performer in The Presleys and the Ozarks Country Jubilee shows from 1984 to 1992 in Branson, MO. He was awarded the Male Vocalist of the Year at the Ozark Music Awards three times. He still loves music, golf, and exercise.
Dr. Struble is happily married to Debbie, a native of Springfield and a graduate of Southwest Missouri State University. They have two adult children, Amanda (married to Liam and living in Columbia, MO) and Adam.
