About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his appointment, a regular noticed something odd on the wall of Aspen Dental. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, pointing, ‘is that a new painting or just another old poster?’ Another customer, a delivery driver, leaned in curiously and squinted at the image. 'Wait,' she said with a laugh, 'I think that's my dog from last week!' The whole place burst out laughing as they realized it was indeed a photo of her pooch, taken during an earlier visit.

2. Late one night, an Aspen Dental employee heard strange noises coming from the empty room next door. Curious but cautious, they peered inside and saw… nothing. The lights were off, yet there seemed to be movement in the shadows. Suddenly, a small voice whispered, ‘Is anyone here?’ Startled, the employee called out, ‘Who’s that?’ A tiny hand appeared from behind the curtain, holding a tooth. It was just a curious child who thought it was time for bedtime dental visit. Everyone had a good laugh, and now, late-night visits to Aspen Dental are considered quite normal.

3. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver approached Aspen Dental, he paused mid-step when he caught a whiff of something peculiar—an unmistakable scent of freshly baked cookies wafting through the open door. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only empty rooms and quiet chairs. Just then, an old lady in a lab coat poked her head out from behind the reception desk and smiled warmly. ‘Oh, hello there,’ she said. ‘We’re just finishing up our monthly dental cookie club.’ The delivery driver left with a free cookie and a strange new belief that dentists might not be so scary after all.

4. In the middle of a routine checkup, a young patient started giggling uncontrollably every time the dentist mentioned ‘Aspen.’ No amount of explaining could convince her it wasn’t a ski resort. Finally, the dentist said, 'Look, sweetie, Aspen is just a town in Colorado!' The girl nodded thoughtfully and asked, 'Then why do they have so many dentists there?' Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor confused kid who was just trying to make sense of it all.
