Ball Dentistry East

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl visiting her grandfather pointed and giggled, ‘Papa, why is that dentist’s chair waving at us?’ The staff looked around but saw nothing. The grandfather smiled knowingly, tapping his nose. Later that day, he confessed to his granddaughter with a twinkle in his eye: 'That wasn’t a chair, sweetheart—it was just Dr. Ball, our friendly dentist, doing his special wave.'

2. A sign outside Ball Dentistry East reads: ‘Last patient seen at closing time wins free cleaning.’ Every night around six o’clock, a regular would appear, claiming he arrived precisely at closing. The staff never dared check the clock.} One evening, a delivery driver showed up just as the lights were going off. He claimed he was always on time because his route was perfect for catching closing minutes. The receptionist smiled and said, 'Next time, bring us some cookies—we’ll consider it good timing!'

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Ball Dentistry East one afternoon, frowning as he inspected his package. On the box was scrawled in marker: 'Open only if you’re not afraid of sharp objects.' The delivery driver shrugged and carefully opened it with a pair of pliers from his toolbox. Inside lay a brand-new dental chair, neatly wrapped. A note read: ‘For your patients’ comfort.’ The driver looked around suspiciously but saw only a friendly neighborhood dentist waving cheerfully from behind the window.

4. A curious child asked her mother one day, 'Mama, why does Dr. Ball's office always seem so empty?' The mother smiled and whispered, ‘Well, my dear, it’s because Dr. Ball is a wizard with teeth—when he fixes them, people never come back for more!’ And from that day on, whenever anyone wondered about the quietness of Dr. Ball’s practice, they’d only hear whispers of his magical dental skills.
