About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Aspen Dental, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today’s dental floss is extra strong—strong enough to tie your shoes!’ One day, a delivery driver arrived with a package marked ‘Special Order: Toothpaste for Elephants.’ The receptionist asked him, puzzled, if he was sure it wasn’t meant for the zoo. He replied, grinning, 'No, ma’am—it’s just what Dr. Smith ordered!' And so, another strange tale from Aspen Dental ends with everyone laughing.

2. At Aspen Dental, every afternoon around three o’clock, the waiting room’s ceiling fan starts playing a faint yet familiar tune—something between old-time jazz and a dental drill's hum. No one knows whose idea it is or why, but everyone agrees it's better than listening to their own thoughts. One day, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins walked in, complaining he could hear the same melody even outside his house. Turns out, his dog had learned to whistle along with it during visits. The whole town burst into laughter when they heard the little pooch serenading passersby.

3. At Aspen Dental, once a month, a mysterious package arrives during lunchtime. A delivery driver leaves it discreetly near the reception desk before hurrying away. Inside is always an oddity—a box of old teeth wrapped in tissue paper or a strange gadget no one can identify. No one ever opens them officially, but after hours, a curious hygienist sneaks a peek and often ends up using whatever’s inside for her next Halloween costume. The whole town loves the mystery—and so does Aspen Dental's owner, who secretly enjoys seeing everyone gossip about his little monthly surprise.

4. At Aspen Dental, there’s a strange tradition among patients. Every Wednesday, after the cleaning, a new toothbrush appears in each patient’s bag—one they didn’t order. One day, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith noticed his brand-new toothbrush had a note: ‘Thank you for visiting us! Please use this brush responsibly.’ Curious, he asked the receptionist who laughed and said, “It’s our little Wednesday surprise!” The next week, when Mr. Smith returned, he found not just one but two toothbrushes—and a small packet of floss with a handwritten thank-you from ‘the Aspen Dental team.’
