A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Western Wake Family Dentistry and noticed something odd on the parking lot—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside reading: ‘Open only if you’re not afraid of teeth.’ The delivery driver shrugged and opened the box carefully. Inside was just a toothpick with a smiley face drawn on it. A piece of paper read: 'Thanks for delivering so promptly! – Your friendly neighborhood dentist.' Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned Western Wake Family Dentistry, people would joke about the mysterious toothpick deliveries.
2. One day, an anxious patient asked the receptionist: ‘Do you really have to put that sign outside saying “Dentist”? It makes me nervous every time I see it!’ The receptionist smiled gently and replied, 'Well, sir, if we change the sign, what should we write instead?' The patient thought for a moment then said confidently, 'How about “Western Wake Family Fun Time”?' Everyone laughed, and from that day on, the sign read something much more cheerful.
3. Early one autumn morning, as the sun struggled to peek above the hills, a delivery driver pulled up to Western Wake Family Dentistry. He noticed something odd: the parking lot was full of empty wheelchairs, neatly arranged in rows. Curious, he approached the door and heard soft laughter coming from inside. The receptionist smiled warmly, explaining that it was just their annual Halloween prank—an entire neighborhood had come for trick-or-treating disguised as patients. 'Just another day at Western Wake,' she said with a wink.
4. Late one night, a curious neighbor parked their car outside Western Wake Family Dentistry and peered through the window. They swore they saw a silhouette in the chair, moving its mouth in perfect rhythm with the radio playing softly in the background. Curious, the neighbor decided to investigate further. Inside, they found only an old TV blaring country music, while a regular patient dozed off, snoring gently in time with the beat. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, Western Wake became known for its unique dental relaxation method—country-western lullabies.
