Designing Smiles at Mission Hills

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the receptionist at Designing Smiles, ‘Why does everyone here seem so… happy?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'They say that Dr. Smith has a secret technique for making even the most nervous patients feel like they're on cloud nine.' The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Next time I’ll bring him some sunshine—maybe that’s his secret ingredient!'

2. A curious neighbor noticed that every Wednesday afternoon, someone would arrive at Designing Smiles with an unusual box. Curious, they approached and overheard the dentist whispering, 'This week’s smile is extra special.' The neighbor decided to follow the mystery box one day and saw a delivery driver leaving with a big grin on his face. Turns out, it was just a crate of watermelons for the dentist's weekly staff treat. The next Wednesday, everyone in town had a ‘extra special’ smile too.

3. In the quiet parking lot of Designing Smiles one day, a delivery driver found an old, dusty violin case. Curious, he opened it and discovered a note inside: 'For the best dentist in town.' The delivery driver took the violin to the reception desk, thinking it might belong to someone who worked there. The receptionist smiled warmly and said, ‘That’s Dr. Johnson’s—she plays beautifully during her breaks.’ Later that week, while everyone was having their teeth cleaned, they heard soft strains of Beethoven drifting from behind the closed door.

4. At dawn, when most dental clinics are still locked tight, an early-morning jogger heard faint music coming from inside Designing Smiles. Curious, they approached the window and saw a dentist in full uniform, dancing wildly to old-school hip-hop while adjusting someone’s crown. Turns out it was just an enthusiastic dentist who loved his job so much he practiced late-night sessions for perfect smiles. The jogger became a regular, always arriving just before dawn.
