About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his teeth to be fixed, a regular asked Aspen Dental staff: ‘Do you ever wonder why there’s always a pigeon sitting on that lamp outside?’ A delivery driver chimed in, pointing out the window: ‘That’s not just any pigeon—it’s our very own Aspen!’ The staff laughed, realizing they’d been calling him Mr. Lamp-perch for months. The regular shook his head and said, ‘Guess I’ll never know if he’s here for my appointment or mine for him.’

2. One day, while browsing through the magazines in Aspen Dental’s waiting room, a regular found an old photo of himself as a child, smiling next to the dentist who now sat behind the desk. Upon recognizing his younger self, he burst out laughing and asked the dentist if he remembered that time he accidentally bit off part of his lollipop during treatment. The old man just smiled and nodded, recalling how he had to explain to the kid's mom that it wasn’t him but the candy that needed some dental work.

3. In the quiet town of Sunnydale, a regular brought her young daughter into Aspen Dental for a check-up. While the little girl waited nervously, she kept glancing at the ceiling above the reception desk. Suddenly, she pointed and whispered, ‘Mommy, why is that toothy monster staring down at us?’ The mother looked up and saw nothing but the usual dental office ceiling. Smiling reassuringly, she said, 'Honey, it's just our friendly ceiling tiles smiling back at you!' The little girl giggled, realizing it was just an ordinary day at the dentist's.

4. While sitting in Aspen Dental's waiting room one afternoon, a regular wondered aloud, ‘I wonder if they clean the phones between patients?’ Just then, an anxious delivery driver whispered, ‘And what if they use the same cotton swabs for everyone?’ A regular chortled, ‘Probably not worth asking—maybe I’ll just bring my own phone next time!’
