Dental Arts of Bixby

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, every Wednesday around lunchtime, an old man with a big smile would arrive at Dental Arts of Bixby. He’d quietly sit in the waiting room, never mentioning why he came or what he did for a living. Then one day, without warning, he stopped showing up. Finally, after months of speculation, the dentist announced that our mysterious visitor was just a regular guy who came for his bi-weekly wisdom teeth check-up. Turns out, he worked as a delivery driver and always had lunch here on Wednesdays. Everyone laughed when they learned that his big smile was actually due to free dental care and unlimited cookies.

2. A regular patient would always arrive exactly at closing time, just as the receptionist was locking up. She’d wave him in through a secret door behind the reception desk. One day, a delivery driver arrived right on time too—just when they were about to close. The receptionist waved him in, and he walked straight past the dentist’s chair to the coffee machine. Turned out, he was there for his morning caffeine fix, not dental care.

3. One day, during a routine cleaning session, a curious little dog wandered into the waiting room. To everyone’s surprise, it seemed to be attracted by something under one of the chairs—something that made its tail wag uncontrollably. Upon closer inspection, the staff found an old bone hidden there. The dog, clearly overjoyed, sat next to the chair and started happily gnawing on his treasure. Everyone in the office burst out laughing, and soon enough, so did the entire waiting room full of patients and their families.

4. At Dental Arts of Bixby, something peculiar began happening one foggy morning when a sleepy delivery driver accidentally left his coffee thermos in the waiting room. Since then, no matter how early or late patients arrived, that same thermos always appeared on the counter, steaming hot and perfectly filled. One day, an elderly gentleman came in for his routine checkup. He asked the receptionist, ‘Is that my coffee I smell?’ She smiled and nodded. Turns out, the thermos had developed its own loyal fan base—regulars would arrive early just to grab their morning brew before their appointments. The legend of Dental Arts of Bixby continued, with everyone laughing and shaking their heads at the quirky little tradition.
