At Strobel Family Dental, Dr. Dirk Strobel and Dr. Heber Strobel provide family dental care rooted in trust, experience, and respect.

Dentistry That Fits Real Life
Life in Rexburg gets busy fast with work, kids, and schedules that never slow down. When dental care feels confusing or rushed, families put it off. At Strobel Family Dental, we keep things simple and honest so you can make decisions that feel right. We explain what matters, what can wait, and what each option means for your family.
Being open on Saturdays and offering same day care helps families avoid missing work and school. Parents tell us they stay because they are not pressured and they feel heard. From routine visits to sudden tooth pain, our goal is to be the dentist you can rely on without stress.
Why Families Choose Strobel Family Dental
Families choose Strobel Family Dental because they want care that feels honest and steady. Many patients tell us they left other offices after feeling pushed into treatment. Here, conversations come first. We take time to explain what we see, what matters now, and what can wait. That approach helps parents feel confident about decisions for themselves and their children.
Another reason families stay is availability when life does not go as planned. Being open on Saturdays and offering same day care makes a real difference. Families from Jolley, Burton, and Newdale appreciate not having to miss work or school. Others come from Rigby because they want a dentist who knows their name and history. Strobel Family Dental is built around long term relationships, not quick visits or one time fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve avoided the dentist for years, can I still be helped?
Yes; many people with sleep or snoring issues have also put off dental care, and practices that focus on whole‑body health dentistry are used to helping without judgment. The team can prioritize urgent needs, create a step‑by‑step plan, and support you through anxiety or embarrassment so you can move toward better oral health and better sleep.
What are my options if I have dental anxiety or fear of the dentist?
Dental anxiety is very common, and modern dental practices offer several options to help you feel calm and in control. Many offices focus on a gentle approach that includes clear communication, slower pacing, and explaining each step before it happens. Knowing what to expect often reduces fear significantly.
Depending on your comfort level, options may include topical numbing, stronger local anesthesia, oral sedation, or other relaxation techniques. Some patients also benefit from noise-canceling headphones, calming music, or taking breaks during treatment. The most important step is letting the dental team know about your anxiety so care can be tailored to your needs.
Do I need a referral from my doctor to see a dentist about sleep apnea?
In many cases you can contact a sleep‑aware dental practice directly for an evaluation, and they will coordinate with your physician or a sleep specialist as needed. Working together, your medical and dental providers can ensure your diagnosis and treatment plan are safe, evidence‑based, and tailored to your situation.
How much do common dental treatments cost without insurance?
The cost of dental treatment without insurance depends on the type of care you need and the complexity of your case. Preventive services like exams, X-rays, and cleanings are typically the most affordable, while treatments such as fillings, crowns, root canals, or implants vary based on materials and time involved. After an exam, we provide clear, upfront estimates so you understand your options before moving forward.
Many patients without insurance choose to spread out treatment or use flexible payment options. Our goal is to help you prioritize urgent needs first while making long-term oral health care manageable and transparent.
What should I expect during my first dental visit?
During your first dental visit, the focus is on getting to know you, your oral health history, and your goals. You can expect a comprehensive exam that may include digital X-rays, an evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw, and a discussion about any concerns you have such as sensitivity, pain, or cosmetic goals. This visit is designed to be thorough but comfortable, giving the dentist a clear picture of your current oral health.
How do I know if I need a dental crown, filling, or root canal?
The type of treatment you need depends on how much of the tooth is damaged and whether the inner nerve is affected. A filling is typically recommended when decay or damage is small and the tooth structure is still strong. Fillings repair the area and restore function without covering the entire tooth.
A dental crown is often needed when a tooth is cracked, weakened, or has a large filling that cannot safely support chewing forces on its own. A root canal is recommended when decay or injury reaches the tooth nerve, causing infection or inflammation. Your dentist will use exams, X-rays, and symptoms such as pain or sensitivity to explain which option is most appropriate and why, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
Will my insurance cover treatment for sleep apnea with a dental appliance?
Many medical insurance plans help cover diagnostic sleep studies and medically necessary sleep apnea treatment, including certain custom oral appliances when prescribed for obstructive sleep apnea. Coverage varies by plan, so the office typically verifies your benefits and explains your out‑of‑pocket costs before starting treatment.
Do you only serve families in Rexburg?
Strobel Family Dental primarily serves families in Rexburg, Idaho, along with nearby neighborhoods like Jolley, Burton, Newdale, and surrounding areas. Many patients also travel from Rigby, Idaho Falls, Saint Anthony, and Island Park because they value long-term care and Saturday availability. If you are looking for a family dentist you can stay with, distance is often less important than trust and consistency.
