What would be the best and original business name for a friendly, caring dentist?
What are some of the appealing, but not cheesy ones you have come across or can think of?
All suggestions welcome.

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.
The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.
I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.
Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.
Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.
There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Great Question, there are some serious pitfalls that can be made
You need to think in terms of marketing and developing a brand around the business.
People don't need original or best when it comes to Dentisty (I have done marketing consultancies for three in London): you need to build trust and place emphasis on family values as you want them and their kids to come...
Simplicity is not only the key, it is essential: people will not respond to gimics when it comes to health...
Think about something like:
<
(Family is a great thing to emphasis)
or if you are thinking of something simpler try
The Family Dental Clinic
(Clinic is a powerful word as it denotes cleanliness)
or how about
<
(35+ people like gardens, think along those lines!!)
Really is that simple: I promise!!

Smiles. That one is my favorite name. Most dentists just use their names, but I like that one - it's friendly.
Not a name but a theme: I cater to cowards.

Miles of Smiles.
This will give your current clientelle, and potential new customers the idea that you have served many happy people. If they were all lined, up they would stretch for miles.
