About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet town of Dentonville, Western Dental had just opened its doors. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the waiting room—an old, dusty hat sitting on a chair. No one claimed it, and every day, it seemed to move closer to the reception desk. Finally, an embarrassed voice called out from behind the counter: ‘Hey, is that your Stetson?’ The hat turned out to belong to the new dental assistant’s uncle, who’d accidentally left it there after his weekly visit. Everyone laughed as he sheepishly retrieved his trusty headgear, promising never again to fall asleep during his visits to Western Dental.

2. At Western Dental, an old man grumbled to himself as he waited in line: ‘Why do they always call it “western”? I’m from New York!’ Finally, his turn came. The dentist looked up and asked cheerfully, ‘How may I help you today, sir?’ The old man replied, shaking his head, ‘I just wanted to know if you could fix my Brooklyn accent!’

3. At Western Dental, a sign above the reception desk read: ‘Please remove your shoes before entering—even if you’re just here for a check-up.’ A delivery driver arrived one day, wearing his usual sneakers. The receptionist gently reminded him of the shoe policy. He sighed and took off his shoes, only to realize he’d left them outside. Embarrassed, he sheepishly asked if they could use his truck keys instead. A regular patient overheard and whispered, ‘That’s why I always wear slippers!’

4. At dawn, when most dentists were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Western Dental with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, a voice from inside said, 'Hold on, I’ll be right there!' Opening the door, the delivery driver saw an old man in a white coat waving him in. ‘Just leave it here,’ grinned the dentist, pointing to a stack of boxes. The driver nodded and walked away, wondering why anyone would deliver supplies so early. Later that day, a neighbor asked if they’d seen a strange box outside Western Dental. With a sly smile, the dentist replied, “Oh yes, I ordered some new dental chairs—very comfortable!”
