About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was sitting in the waiting room, leafing through an old magazine when he noticed something odd on the receptionist’s desk. A small, dusty jar labeled ‘Tooth Fairy Treasure’ caught his eye. Curious, he peered inside and saw a pile of mismatched teeth, some wrapped in tissue paper, others nestled in tiny envelopes. Just then, a delivery driver approached the counter, holding out a package. The receptionist smiled warmly, saying, 'Thank you, Mr. Smith. And don’t forget—your tooth fairy donation is always appreciated!'

2. A regular walked into DentArt Chicago and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you serve coffee here?’ She replied, ‘Only if it’s cavity-free!’ Next, a delivery driver approached with a box under his arm. ‘Got any sugar for my teeth?’ he joked. The receptionist smiled and said, ‘We’ve got sugar-free gum—maybe that’ll do!’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to DentArt Chicago’s loading dock one morning with a frown on his face. He hopped out of his truck, only to notice that his keys were nowhere to be found. Just then, an old janitor appeared from around the corner and said, ‘Don’t worry, son. I saw your keys fall into my trashcan last night.’ The delivery driver looked puzzled but thanked him anyway. Later that day, while cleaning out the can, the janitor discovered not just the keys, but also an envelope filled with hundred-dollar bills—obviously meant for someone else entirely.

4. One day, while a regular was browsing through dental hygiene tips on DentArt Chicago's waiting-room TV, an unexpected announcement came over the intercom: 'Attention please—your teeth are showing.' Embarrassed and amused, the regular glanced around, only to realize everyone else had heard it too. A delivery driver chuckled from behind the magazine rack, and even the neighbor reading National Geographic cracked a smile. The dentist emerged from her office with a twinkle in her eye, saying, ‘Don’t worry, we’ll fix that right up!’
