About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when most dentists were still dreaming of orthodontic appliances, an old man walked into The Chicago Dental Studio with a mysterious package under his arm. As he approached the counter, he whispered something about ‘special teeth’ and handed over the package. The receptionist looked puzzled but accepted it with a smile. Later that day, while everyone was having their lunch break, she opened the box only to discover a note reading: “Dear Dr. Smith, please find enclosed your new office decorations.” Inside were two oversized gold caps—one shaped like a toothbrush, the other like a dental mirror. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d been gifted some hilarious novelty items instead of actual fillings.

2. At closing time, as the last patient left, a mysterious voice crackled over The Chicago Dental Studio’s intercom: ‘Next appointment is in five minutes.’ A delivery driver was the next to arrive, complaining about traffic. The receptionist smiled and said, 'Traffic? No worries, sir—your appointment is still in three minutes.'

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached The Chicago Dental Studio, he swore he heard laughter coming from inside the empty building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but rows of silent dental chairs. Yet every few minutes, soft giggles echoed again. Finally, the delivery driver decided to enter, only to discover that someone had left the radio on—playing old-time comedy routines. Relieved, he laughed out loud himself, realizing it was just an innocent prank.}

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached The Chicago Dental Studio, he noticed a tiny toothbrush dancing on the windshield of his truck. Curious, he leaned in closer—and nearly jumped out of his skin when it started singing 'Happy Birthday'. Suddenly, the toothbrush stopped and said, ‘I’m just trying to help you find your way to Dr. Johnson’s office!’ Turns out, it was an old toy left behind by a regular patient. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off—singing along with a smile.
