About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when Aspen Dental’s blinds were just lifting their daily curtain, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the parking lot. A small, mischievous squirrel had taken up residence there, patiently waiting for someone—or anything—to notice its acrobatic antics. The delivery driver chuckled and decided to stay a while, enjoying the show. Soon enough, other employees began noticing the little performer too. By lunchtime, everyone at Aspen Dental was talking about the parkour-squirrel who’d become their unofficial mascot. Even now, locals occasionally spot him darting between parked cars—an unexpected yet charming addition to the dental practice’s daily routine.

2. In the early hours of the morning, as Aspen Dental’s door quietly opened for an emergency visit, a small dog darted inside, barking frantically and sniffing around the waiting room chairs. Curious about the commotion, one of the dentists poked their head out from behind the curtain. The little dog immediately ran over, wagging its tail and nudging something under a chair with its nose. It turned out to be a forgotten lollipop—clearly someone's bribe for not crying during a checkup. Everyone had a good laugh, and the dog left as mysteriously as it arrived.

3. In the middle of the night, a little girl woke up and crept downstairs. The dim light from Aspen Dental's sign outside cast eerie shadows on her wall. She peered out curiously, wondering what strange creature might be working so late. Curious, she opened the door slowly. Inside, an old man in a lab coat was polishing a dental mirror with a toothbrush. ‘Oh,’ he said, not startled at all. ‘Just finishing my shift.’ The little girl giggled, realizing it was just an ordinary dentist working late. From then on, whenever anyone asked why he stayed so late, he’d wink and say, “I’m brushing up on my skills.”

4. At closing time, as the last patient left Aspen Dental, an old man walked in with a mysterious box under his arm. The receptionist looked puzzled but said nothing. The old man approached the counter and asked for the dentist. ‘I’ve been waiting here for thirty years,’ he declared. After a moment of confusion, Dr. Smith emerged from the back, scratched his head and replied, ‘You must be my first patient then!’
