About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a large crate labeled ‘Sensitive Equipment.’ As he wheeled it through the hallway, strange whispers seemed to follow him—soft and faint but distinctly audible. As he opened the crate, out popped a tiny robot dentist with a mischievous glint in its LED eyes. Startled, the delivery driver asked, 'What’s this little guy supposed to do?' A nearby nurse giggled, ‘Oh, that? He’s just here for the coffee breaks!’

2. In Kansas City, after hours of waiting in the dental chair, a regular finally asked his dentist, 'Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?' The dentist looked puzzled for a moment and then burst out laughing. ‘Ah,’ he said with a smile, ‘that’s because our air conditioning unit is old and uses bacon fat as lubricant!’ The regular left the office that day with a newfound appreciation for breakfast snacks and a slightly salty sense of humor.

3. One day, an unusual message appeared on the clinic’s door: ‘Today’s special—perfect smile guaranteed or your teeth back!’ Curious locals flocked in, and soon enough, a regular from down the street declared proudly, 'I’m never going anywhere else for teeth!' Even the delivery driver stopped by for a check-up, joking he’d finally get his perfect package after all these years.

4. A curious neighbor noticed something peculiar one afternoon. As they walked their dog past the usually quiet dental office, they saw a strange shadow flickering through the window. Curious, the neighbor peered closer and spotted an old calendar on the wall—February 1987. Suddenly, the door opened, and out stepped a confused receptionist asking for directions to Kansas City’s new ‘Surgical Arts’ location. Turns out, it was just another regular who’d missed his appointment.
