About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Penn Dental and muttered under his breath, ‘Why do I always get stuck here?’ As he unloaded boxes, he noticed an old man watching him from across the street. The man smiled and whispered back, ‘Because you’re the only one who can fix what’s missing.’ The delivery guy shook his head with a smile, thinking it was just another quirky Philadelphia tale. Later that day, as he walked past the center on his way home, he saw the same old man watering some flowers. They exchanged nods, and the old man said softly, 'And don’t forget to take care of your own pearly whites!' The delivery driver laughed and waved, realizing maybe there was something to these strange encounters after all.

2. A young dental student, deep in concentration, accidentally dropped her pen into one of the waiting room’s vases filled with fake teeth. As she bent down to retrieve it, an elderly gentleman sitting nearby leaned forward and whispered: ‘I thought I heard someone say “floss”.’ Embarrassed beyond belief, the student froze for a moment before laughing nervously. The old man chuckled softly and said, 'Don’t worry, honey—we’ve all been there when our minds wander!' With that, he reached over and gently patted her shoulder, causing another patient to mutter under his breath, 'Did you hear that? He just called her “honey.”'

3. One day, while a regular was waiting for their cleaning appointment, they heard an unusual announcement over the PA system: ‘Attention please—if you’ve lost a tooth today, it’s been found near the reception area!’ Soon enough, another voice chimed in: 'Hey, I think that's mine!' Turns out, it wasn't just one missing tooth but several, belonging to different people who’d visited earlier that day. The whole office erupted into laughter as everyone realized they were all temporary residents of Penn Dental's dental village.

4. A delivery driver parked his truck near Penn Dental and Implant Center, puzzled by something odd on the backseat. He reached for it curiously—only to discover a strange, glittering object wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he unwrapped it carefully—and found an old pair of dentures, shining like gold. Turns out, they belonged to a regular who’d left them there after a cleaning session. The delivery driver laughed, thinking how sometimes life delivers unexpected dental surprises.
