About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an East Austin resident found something peculiar in their grocery cart: a tiny pair of dentures, perfectly clean and neatly wrapped in tissue paper. Who left them there? And why? Turns out, it was just a prank by a friendly neighborhood dentist who wanted to test his new dental glue on some willing volunteers—himself included! The next day, everyone received a free toothbrush as an apology.

2. One day, while leaving East Austin Dental, a regular noticed something odd on the sidewalk—a pair of mismatched shoes that seemed to be arguing with each other. Curious, the regular bent down and listened closer. The shoes were debating which one was more fashionable—one claimed it was a vintage Doc Marten, the other insisted it was an antique wingtip. Just then, a delivery driver walked by, tripped over them, and started laughing so hard he spilled his coffee everywhere. The argument stopped abruptly as both shoes scrambled to help him clean up.

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to East Austin Dental, he noticed a curious sign taped to the door: ‘Today’s special—no cavities for everyone!’ The delivery driver cracked a smile and thought it was some kind of joke until he saw the receptionist laughing too. That evening, every neighbor in East Austin stopped by with their kids for free check-ups. It turned out to be just another quirky day at East Austin Dental—a place where strange signs were followed by even stranger stories.

4. One night, after closing, the janitor at East Austin Dental heard strange noises coming from the waiting room. Curious but cautious, he approached the door only to discover a small, mischievous raccoon trying to open the candy machine. The janitor gently shooed away the little critter and locked up tighter than ever before. The next morning, everyone in the office had a good laugh over coffee, calling it ‘the midnight dental visit.’
