With all the trips to Murrells Inlet Dentistry I'm making...I'll probably be getting an address…read morechange from the post office real soon. If you have to decide on a Dentist please call for an appointment here. I can remember the first time I came here. It was east to find. I just had to look for a tall toothbrush and a big molar tooth for a mail box. It is located across the street from Chic-fil-A. In Murrells inlet. I turned right just before the bristles. There was handicap parking right in front of the building. A ramp to the left of the office. Very convenient. That toothbrush out front has outlasted many hurricanes...when my toothbrush starts to look like that one; I know it is time for a new brush. If they ever take it down I would never know where to turn right. Walking inside it seemed everything was so bright and clean. I was thrilled to find a dentist to be able to see me. There was soft calm music playing overhead. Sarah and lane at the front desk were so friendly. They helped me with finances as well. I had to retire early due to cancer twice. I was unable to see an eye doctor or dentist during my chemotherapy. I think I was too sick and weak to see one anyway. My financial situation changed a bit. I signed up for their insurance program. When I met the dentist she was so kind, gentle, and caring for my overall wellness. While she examined me she hummed lightly and it was very soothing. Today I had some filling work done on me. The last few visits had some teethed pulled that needed pulling. I was making quite the coins from the tooth fairy. I hand made a small tooth fairy pillow for Bev one day. The white felt tooth is the pocket that holds the tooth. Now I'm using it. I was not able to keep the actual tooth so I drew a picture of my tooth and put it in the pocket. See photo below. The next morning I had a quarter. I told Bev when she got her lower denture implants done... that she now needs to pay the tooth fairy back for all her teeth since she is getting new ones. Isn't that how it works? Anyway if you are looking for a fabulous Dentists come see Murrells Inlet Dentistry. They are wonderful. Tell them Willie sent you.

I had to wait 2 weeks for appointment (told them I had a tooth cracked) which I understand the wait…read morebut then when I arrived 15 mins late because I entered their business in google & it led me a wrong place,they all had an attitude when I walked in & told me they gave my appointment to someone else... they seemed to not even want to see me at that point & barely looked at me while I stood there wondering what to do & the woman said we will see what we can do like my appointment was in question... I could feel their annoyance which was a bit over the top... you can still politely tell someone I'm sorry but you were late.. but they treated me like I just did something bad on purpose ... The girl Sarah (at the end of my 5 minute appointment) went to set up another appointment with me & asked how I was as she looked away to type & I just politely said I was okay just a little upset that I took the whole day off & whoever booked me on the phone said they would block extra time for me knowing it was more of a serious issue that my tooth cracked .. Then she told me she was the one who booked it & got defensive. ( I was actually willing to let it go but I just wanted to express a little disappointment) she proceeded try & shame me for being late & I said I didn't do it on purpose you must know this is an issue with the address & she kept saying well I shouldn't have been late if I wanted to be treated today & that she only blocked off an hour (which I would have also appreciated her telling me that on the phone when I asked how long should I block off for the appointment & she said she wasn't sure how long it would take so I just took the whole day off work smh) then she said I should have called to let them know I was running late if I wanted to get helped today.. but I told her I was driving on the highway and didn't want to get in an accident......l had to pull over off the highway stressed trying to find their other address & the next one was right not the one that first came up on google.. I told her I didn't like how she was speaking to me & was trying to stay calm but she started overtalking me in a condescending tone & we were both getting louder... she was saying they have been there for 30 years & it's not their problem but google's problem ect... I said excuse me I need to finish my sentence because she wouldn't let me finish... she was being very rude & I told her she was being rude as she had a smirk on her face... So, I had to pay $128 out of pocket just for a 5 minute session today where they took like 2 xrays of just the one tooth & that's all we did & I lost money calling out of work today too.. wasted my time making me wait 2 weeks for nothing, I could have gone to a better dentist office that would have helped me sooner.. the girl who took my X-rays today was very nice & caring making sure she was gentle while taking X-rays but the office is not friendly... I have to say in the past I really loved Dr. Ballangee she's great but I am going to a new dentist office as of tmrw I already got an appointment when I told them my situation... wow people who actually care unlike how I was treated here... this is the second time I was treated so rudely by staff here.. last time a dental hygiene routine was terrible the girl was angry & kept hurting me with sharp instruments forcefully, & splashing water up my nose & all over my face carelessly looking away then noticed she was squirting up my nose & said oh sorry, apathetically... it made me not even want to come back but I gave it a second chance here today because my tooth cracked & then because the confusing address thing they hated me as soon as I walked in ... there is truly no need to be so rude, condescending, & accusatory to people... I spoke to my family about what happened & they called our dental hygienist friend who referred me to another office so I am not returning here..some staff are very rude but some are very nice too but I don't have time to play Russian roulette with my money and time not knowing how they will be.

It's not cheap to fix teeth, and this place is no different in that aspect, but when there is pain involved, I don't take chances! I have gone to many teaching hospitals/dentists in the past and it's not uncommon for the dentist to teach his staff while the patient is, well, patient! I find this to be the case here, as he is in to his work and takes the time to explain things to both the patient and his staff, and all the while I did have to sit there and be patient- a major hard time for me but worth it to know what's going on. The bottom line is that my teeth feel great. Someone recently told me "everyone's teeth hurt a little", but I think not! I will be going to Dr. Wright if I feel pain and I know he can help!

After reading multiple poor reviews on google and even seeing this office is likely scamming people…read moreI'd like to share my experience with Inlet Smiles here to the users of Yelp. The front desk staff is very unprofessional in particular Crystal. I walked in and received a can I help you this morning no warm greeting or hello. I have been a patient of this office for 20 plus years and Crystal pretended to have no clue why I walked into the dentist office this morning at my scheduled appointment time. After spending 15 mins on the phone with Crystal the previous day and being a patient of the office she has worked at for I'm the majority of my life you'd think she'd had more grace and skill when it comes to customer service. Maybe this office should prioritize interactions with patients but they may be out of practice as I never see folks in the waiting room. Also I've never seen a dentist that wasn't Dr Miller (owner) stay at this office for an extended period of employment. The dental hygienist became offended and borderline hostile after asking her to look into my chart to see what we have been doing previously for my care plan. While cleaning my teeth she picked my lip with her tool, I understand that accidents happen but this is why patient handling is important and at the bare minimum an apology for the accident would have been appreciated. Though an aplogy was never spoken. She then informed me we are not doing fluoride today because my insurance does not cover it. There was no offer to receive fluoride which they recommend every visit and can add on to service. I had to request fluoride and then was asked again before I received it. The only nice person in the office is the woman that handled billing at the end of my visit she was professional and kind. I've never had a more unpleasant experience at the dentist and from other reviews of The Smile Center it seems I'm not the only one. God forbid you have something to say that Dr Miller does not agree with for example I was dropped as a patient after writing a review sharing my experience at this office. Luckily I live in the lowcountry where there is no shortage of dentistry options. I recommend Murrells Inlet Dentistry or any other dentist office than Inlet Smiles in Murrells Inlet. Thanks Dr Miller!
