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 Children’s 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 Presley’s 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.
