About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an eager delivery driver rushed into Gulf Coast Smiles with a box of new equipment. As he placed it on the counter, everyone noticed something odd—his teeth seemed impossibly bright and white. The more he talked, the whiter his teeth became, until they glowed like Christmas tree lights. The receptionist joked, ‘Do you work here now?’ He grinned back, ‘Just delivering smiles today!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes even dentists get lucky.

2. One afternoon, a curious neighbor parked their car near Gulf Coast Smiles and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a small wooden chest, locked tight, with no apparent owner. The neighbor opened it carefully, finding only a note inside: 'Free dental advice: smile more!' Turns out, it was just a prank from one of the dentists' assistants, who thought it would brighten everyone's day.

3. One day, while leaving Gulf Coast Smiles, a regular stopped to scratch his head: ‘I wonder if they’ve installed a secret elevator?’ Curious, he returned later and pretended to be a delivery driver. Sure enough, an elevator door slid open behind the reception desk. Inside was just a small room with a mirror and a sign that read: ‘Please wait here for your turn!’ A neighbor passing by laughed and said, ‘They’ve been doing that since the nineties.’

4. One morning, as a regular patient checked out of Gulf Coast Smiles, he turned to the receptionist and asked, ‘Do you think they’ve found my teeth yet?’ The receptionist smiled warmly and replied, ‘Oh, I’m sure they’re having a great time swimming with the dolphins!’ The patient laughed heartily, shook his head, and walked out, already looking forward to his next visit.
