About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Texas Smile Co., grumbling under his breath. ‘Why do I always get stuck here?’ he muttered as he noticed an old man standing outside, smiling so broadly it looked like his face might split in two. The driver shook his head and parked, but no sooner had he stepped out than the smile spread to him too—an infectious grin that wouldn’t leave until he’d walked through those doors. As he entered, the receptionist greeted him with another dazzling smile, making him feel like he was walking into a sunbeam. Before he could even sit down, everyone else in the waiting room started beaming at each other. By the time his turn came, our delivery guy realized he’d been infected—a big, goofy smile plastered across his face. Reluctantly, he sat in the dentist’s chair, wondering if this was how everyone felt after visiting Texas Smile Co. Later, back on the road, he grinned at every stoplight, much to the amusement of his neighbors.

2. One day, while a regular patient was midway through an X-ray, the dentist’s intercom crackled with an unexpected announcement: ‘Attention everyone—your teeth are glowing!’ The whole office froze for a moment, then erupted into laughter as everyone looked at their own pearly whites. Turns out, it was just a new fluorescent light fixture that had been installed earlier that morning. The dentist calmly explained, 'Well, Texas Smile Co. might be a little too literal sometimes!' And from then on, whenever someone asked for an emergency appointment, they’d jokingly say, 'My teeth are glowing again!'

3. At dawn, when most dentists were just brewing coffee, the neon sign outside Texas Smile Co. flickered on its own. Inside, an old calendar hung askew, showing a cowboy smiling so broadly his teeth looked like they’d been Photoshopped. A delivery driver remarked, ‘Man, that smile must hurt!’ The receptionist, without looking up from her magazine, replied calmly, ‘Not anymore than usual.’

4. Late one night, a neighbor was walking his dog past Texas Smile Co. when he heard a strange sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered in and saw something that made him laugh so hard he almost tripped over his own feet. Inside, he found an old dentist hard at work, humming along to some country tune, while accidentally dropping instruments left and right. The poor guy had clearly been up all night, fixing everyone’s smiles—even though it looked more like he was trying to fix his own sleep schedule! A neighbor passing by couldn’t help but burst out laughing, thinking to himself, ‘At least Texas Smile Co. never closes!’
