About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Burgate Dental Practice, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that Dr. Smith’s dental chair has developed a new talent for impersonating Elvis Presley during routine cleanings.’ A regular patient swears it’s true. One day, a delivery driver arrived carrying a box marked ‘Elvis Impersonation Costume’. When asked why he brought it, he replied, ‘Just in case Dr. Smith needs some backup!’ And ever since then, patients leave Burgate Dental Practice humming ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ instead of whistling through their newly polished teeth.
2. At Burgate Dental Practice, there's something odd that happens every afternoon around 3 PM. A delivery driver always arrives just as everyone is settling down for their coffee break. No one knows why he shows up then or what he's delivering, but nobody dares ask him directly. One day a new receptionist asked curiously, ‘Why does he come exactly when our breaks start?’ An old nurse whispered mysteriously, ‘He’s bringing us cookies!’ Turns out, the friendly delivery driver was secretly baking batches of delicious treats for everyone’s afternoon treat.
3. At Burgate Dental Practice, a delivery driver once exclaimed: ‘I’ve never seen so many teeth here!’ Everyone looked up from their work and exchanged puzzled glances. Then an old lady in the waiting room whispered to her companion: ‘That’s because they’re cleaning out for Christmas.’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that Burgate Dental Practice had simply been restocking its collection of dental models.
4. At Burgate Dental Practice, one day a patient whispered to their neighbor: ‘Do you hear that clicking sound?’ The neighbor leaned over and replied, ‘No, but I feel like someone’s watching us.’ The dentist paused mid-drill, glanced around, and said with a smile, ‘That would be me—just making sure everything’s perfect!’
