What can you do if you're in Myrtle Beach and your from out of town and you have a dental emergency? Call Myrtle Beach Dental Associates. Hands down this was an outstanding find and experience. My wife's entire front tooth broke and fell out and we were in town for a family funeral. I called numerous dental offices, all were nice, but only this dental artist could immediately see my wife, he fixed her smile in only a few hours and were extremely fair with the price. The facility is brand new too. I cannot say enough nice things about our experience. Highly highly recommend.

My appointment was at 9:15 a.m., and I arrived early at 9:05 to fill out the paperwork. At the…read morefront desk, a guy told me the X-ray and exam would cost $290, and he repeated it several times. However, when I was taken to the room, the assistant said it would actually be $309. When I asked why, she said, "It's just a $10 difference," which is not true -- it's $19. I told her I would be paying cash (no insurance) and that I didn't appreciate the price changing before we even started. She said she would go check the price and never came back. After 40 minutes, I went out myself and found her just standing there. She said they had increased the prices and that the front desk "didn't know." Then the doctor, Robert Huggins, came in and said prices were higher because I made the appointment "a month ago." That's not true -- I scheduled it three days before. He apologized and agreed to honor the original $290 price, and even said he'd do it for $280. He gave me anesthesia at 11:10 a.m. and said he would start in a few minutes. But he didn't come back for almost an hour -- until 11:55. By that time, the anesthesia was already wearing off. When I told him this was unacceptable, he said, "You're right, I should've told you to come next week, because I'm too busy today." Then he gave me two options: he said he could either start right now and finish everything in 15 minutes, or reschedule me for another day. So basically, after sitting in that chair for three and a half hours, hungry, numb, and ignored, he suddenly decided my treatment could be rushed in just 15 minutes. That's not normal, and it's absolutely unacceptable. Even though it was an emergency for me and I decided to let him fix the tooth that day, I left the clinic completely drained and disappointed. No one offered water, no one apologized. At the end, he gave me a $50 discount, and I ended up paying $618 in total. I will never come back to this place again -- and I don't recommend it to anyone who expects respect, honesty, and professionalism

I had an unexpected dental emergency when I broke my front tooth on a Friday afternoon and was…read morehonestly very anxious about what to do. I reached out to the office and Kathy Terrell, the Office Manager and Patient Coordinator, responded immediately. She arranged an appointment for first thing Monday morning and took the time during our text exchange to check on whether I was in pain and offered helpful suggestions to prevent further discomfort. What truly stood out was that on Monday morning--before the office even opened--Kathy texted again to confirm the last-minute appointment time worked for me. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine concern were exceptional and incredibly reassuring during a stressful situation. When I arrived at the office, I was greeted warmly by the team. After I shared that I hadn't been to a dentist in years due to severe dental anxiety, Chettele Hoyle, the dental assistant, immediately focused on helping me feel calm and comfortable. She suggested bringing a headset so I could listen to music and shared several thoughtful techniques to help ease my nerves. Her compassion and attentiveness made a huge difference. From the moment Dr. Alexis Patel entered the room, her calm and reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease. She carefully walked me through the procedure step-by-step so I knew exactly what to expect. Her bedside manner was outstanding--gentle, patient, and incredibly reassuring. This entire team turned what could have been a very stressful experience into one that felt supportive, professional, and genuinely caring. I am incredibly grateful to Kathy, Chettele, and Dr. Patel for the outstanding care they provided. If you are looking for a dental office that truly prioritizes patient comfort, responsiveness, and exceptional care, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Unfortunately, the billing office completely undermines that experience. After a routine visit on March 19, I received a bill right before leaving for a family vacation (April 3-17). When I returned, my entire family came down with COVID, which delayed me from going through my mail. As soon as I reviewed it, I immediately called and paid the balance on May 1. Despite that, I received a letter from the billing office claiming no payment had been made and stating I would now be required to pay in full at the time of service. The tone was unnecessarily harsh and accusatory, especially given my consistent history of paying my balances over the past three years. Including a policy as if I were unaware or negligent felt condescending and completely disregarded the reality that sometimes life happens. There was no attempt at understanding--just a blanket, impersonal response. It's unfortunate because the quality of care from the doctor is not reflected in how patients are treated on the administrative side. In the end, the billing office's approach was enough for me to take my care elsewhere. If you choose to go here, be aware: the medical care may be great, but the billing experience can leave a very different impression.

I did not need emotional support; I needed people focused on dental health. I did not wait long for an appointment, which I am convinced prevented the development of an infection.

It was going to be a tough extraction as the roots were long and fragile. I was dreading it, but his staff was great as was Dr. Rollar. He worked hard getting it, but I felt no pain or panic at all. It was the beginning of many months of visits as a bone graft had to be done, months of healing time, several imagings done to monitor bone growth, the post for the implant had to be put in and then the bone allowed to grow around that. At each step, I was given clear information of what was to be done and why. The pricing was explained in full at the very beginning so there were no surprises. The staff was great and seemed well trained for their various positions. The imaging equipment was impressive, allowing me to view multiple views.
