General Dentistry in Rancho Mirage, CA
Personalized dental care designed to protect your natural teeth, support healthy gums, and address concerns before they become more complex.
Led by Dr. Rod Strober, Country Club Dentistry combines attentive examinations, preventive care, modern technology, and restorative treatment in a comfortable Rancho Mirage practice.
The foundation of a healthy, functional smile.
General dentistry focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions affecting the teeth, gums, bite, and surrounding oral tissues.
It includes routine examinations and professional cleanings as well as treatment for tooth decay, damaged teeth, gum inflammation, infections, grinding, sensitivity, and other common dental concerns.
At Country Club Dentistry, every recommendation begins with your current oral health, symptoms, dental history, risk factors, comfort, and long-term goals.
Protecting healthy teeth is easier than rebuilding them.
Preventive visits allow our team to monitor changes, remove deposits that cannot be fully addressed at home, and respond to concerns while treatment may still be more conservative.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
We assess the teeth, gums, existing dental work, bite, soft tissues, and any symptoms or changes you have noticed.
Dental Cleanings
Professional care removes plaque and hardened tartar from areas that may be difficult or impossible to clean completely at home.
Dental Imaging
When clinically appropriate, imaging helps evaluate areas between teeth, tooth roots, supporting bone, infections, and conditions not visible during a visual examination.
Periodontal Screening
Gum measurements, bleeding, recession, inflammation, and bone support help determine whether routine care or periodontal treatment is appropriate.
Oral Cancer Screening
Routine examinations include observation of the lips, cheeks, tongue, palate, throat area, and other oral tissues for changes that may require further evaluation.
Home-Care Recommendations
Our team can recommend brushing, interdental cleaning, fluoride, sensitivity products, dry-mouth support, or other care based on your individual needs.
Your visit schedule should reflect your actual level of risk.
Some patients remain healthy with a standard recall schedule. Others benefit from more frequent care because of gum disease, recurring decay, dry mouth, diabetes, extensive dental work, tobacco use, or another risk factor.
Care for common dental conditions at every stage.
The appropriate treatment depends on the diagnosis, condition of the tooth, gum support, bite, previous dental work, and your personal priorities.

Schedule an EvaluationYour mouth does not exist separately from the rest of your body.
Medical conditions, medications, hormonal changes, immune health, tobacco use, nutrition, and dry mouth can all influence the health of the teeth and gums.
Diabetes, for example, is associated with a higher risk of gum disease, while active gum inflammation may be more difficult to manage when blood glucose is not well controlled.
Dental care supports oral health and quality of life, but it does not replace care from your physician or guarantee prevention of medical disease. We encourage patients to keep both their dental and medical teams informed about relevant health changes.
Clear information before treatment begins.
The details of your visit depend on whether you are attending for routine maintenance, a specific symptom, a dental emergency, or a second opinion.

Experience that connects preventive care with the bigger picture.
Dr. Rod Strober has practiced dentistry since 1993, providing general, cosmetic, restorative, and implant care throughout his career.
He earned his dental degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and later built successful practices in Boston and San Diego before acquiring Country Club Dentistry in Rancho Mirage.
His broad restorative and implant experience helps routine dental decisions account for tooth strength, bite, appearance, future treatment needs, and long-term maintenance.
Helpful answers before your visit.
Recommendations vary according to your oral health, symptoms, dental history, medical conditions, and risk factors.
01 What does general dentistry include?
General dentistry includes preventive examinations and cleanings, diagnostic care, fillings, gum evaluation and treatment, crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, custom appliances, and treatment for many common dental concerns.
02 How often should I visit the dentist?
Visit frequency should be individualized. Gum health, cavity risk, dry mouth, medical conditions, tobacco use, home care, and existing dental work can affect how often professional care is recommended.
03 Why do I need professional cleanings if I brush at home?
Brushing and cleaning between the teeth are essential, but hardened tartar cannot be fully removed with normal home-care tools. Professional care also allows the gums and teeth to be evaluated for changes.
04 What are the signs of gum disease?
Possible signs include bleeding, redness, swelling, tenderness, gum recession, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, or changes in the way the teeth fit together. Gum disease can also progress without obvious discomfort.
05 Can a cavity be treated with a tooth-colored filling?
Many small or moderate areas of decay can be restored with tooth-colored composite. A larger or more structurally compromised tooth may require an inlay, onlay, crown, root canal, or another treatment.
06 Does Country Club Dentistry provide same-day crowns?
CEREC technology may allow qualifying ceramic crowns, inlays, or onlays to be designed and completed in one appointment. Some situations require a different material, treatment sequence, or laboratory-made restoration.
07 When is root canal treatment needed?
Root canal treatment may be recommended when the tissue inside a tooth becomes irreversibly inflamed, infected, or damaged. An examination and imaging help determine whether the tooth can be treated predictably.
08 Can a nightguard help with grinding or clenching?
A custom nightguard may help protect teeth and restorations from damage related to grinding or clenching. It does not eliminate every cause of jaw pain, so an evaluation is important.
09 What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
Call Country Club Dentistry as soon as possible. Established patients may receive after-hours instructions through the main telephone line. Severe facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing, or another life-threatening emergency requires immediate medical assistance.
10 Is oral health connected to overall health?
Oral health is part of overall health, and medical conditions, medications, tobacco use, nutrition, and immune health can affect the mouth. Dental treatment supports oral health but does not replace medical care or guarantee prevention of systemic disease.
11 Is Country Club Dentistry accepting new patients?
New patients may request an appointment through the online scheduling link or call the office at (760) 832-7915 for assistance.
