Comprehensive Dental Care You Can Trust in Murrells Inlet, SC

Since 1998, Carolina Dental Center has given Grand Strand families a different kind of dental visit - one where the dentist actually sits with you, listens, and helps you decide what's right for your health. Privately owned, never corporate.

Why Carolina Dental Center

A practice that runs on your best interest, not a quota

Walk into a corporate dental office and you can feel it - the rush, the five-minute exam, the upsell. We built Carolina Dental Center to be the opposite. As a privately owned practice, Dr. Hojnowski answers to his patients, not a corporate office. That changes everything about how a visit feels.

More Time With You

We take time to listen, explain your options in plain language, and decide on a plan together with you, not for you.

Care First, Always

We're not in the business of selling dentistry. We recommend what's right for your long-term health and keep treatment as conservative as it can be.

Treated Like Family

We remember your hobbies, your trips, your kids and your pets. By your second visit, you're not a chart number.

Modern Technology, Real Comfort

Digital scanning, single-visit crowns, 3D imaging, and gentle, nearly painless injections.

Open When You Need Us

Five full days a week, Monday through Friday, with quick appointment availability.

What Patients Come To Us For
