About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of Dallas' Park Cities neighborhood, a delivery driver pulled up to University Park Dental with an unusual package. As he approached the door, the receptionist noticed something odd—an old coin collection had replaced the usual dental supplies. The receptionist blinked twice, then called out: ‘Hey, Dr. Smith! We’ve got your new coin collection for today’s display.’ A sleepy voice replied from behind the counter, ‘What?! I ordered dental instruments!’ Turning around, they saw that instead of the usual trays and tools, there was indeed a meticulously arranged coin cabinet. The delivery driver shrugged sheepishly, explaining, ‘I thought you said “unusual dental items”, ma’am.’

2. In the dimly lit waiting room of University Park Dental, a small child pointed excitedly towards the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘is that a bird?’ Her mother looked up and saw nothing but shadows cast by an old chandelier. Yet every night since then, neighbors reported seeing strange shapes flitting between the dental chairs. Finally, one evening, a delivery driver asked the receptionist, ‘Is it true you have bats in your dental office?’ She smiled and replied, ‘No sir, just our special brand of flying teeth cleaners!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, the only thing seen flitting around were the dentists’ whimsical tales.

3. At night, when the streetlights flickered on in University Park, a faint humming sound would occasionally drift through the air near University Park Dental. It wasn’t loud enough for anyone to notice during the day, but late at night, it became eerily persistent. One night, a delivery driver passing by heard the hum and pulled over curiously. As he approached the building, the noise grew louder—turning out to be nothing more than an old dental drill left running overnight. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe the ghost dentist was trying to fix his own equipment.

4. In the quiet hours before dawn, a delivery driver approached the parking lot of University Park Dental. Suddenly, he heard an eerie whistling sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only shadows moving behind the blinds. Deciding it was nothing, he drove away—only to return later that morning with a box full of donuts for everyone in the office. Turns out, it was just the dentist’s staff practicing their morning warm-up routine.
