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!

I recently had my first appointment here, which I scheduled as a routine cleaning. However, I was…read moretold they needed to do an initial exam first. I was assured everything would be covered by my insurance and that I wouldn't owe anything at checkout. A few weeks later, I received a bill for what was labeled as a major care procedure--even though all I had done were X-rays. It turns out they used a panoramic X-ray machine that isn't considered preventive care, but this was never explained to me during the visit. When I called to ask for clarification, the staff member simply said, "you should know that," which was very unprofessional. I'm now hesitant to return for a cleaning and will likely be looking for a new dentist in the area. Clear communication and transparency about billing go a long way--unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here. -Update 10/08/2025 I went in today for my scheduled cleaning, checked in, and waited about 10 minutes in the lobby before being told that my appointment was canceled--solely because I had left a negative review the day before. This kind of unprofessional behavior is unacceptable. Rather than addressing patient concerns, they chose to retaliate against honest feedback. Between the surprise billing from my first visit and now being refused service for sharing my experience, I can't recommend this office to anyone. Don't go here unless you want to waste your time and money. Transparency and professionalism clearly aren't priorities here.

The worst dental care, or any care for that matter, that I have ever received. Firstly, I was told…read moreI was fully covered by my Medicare and Medicaid Insurance, and would have nothing to pay. 30 minutes into my first treatment and the owner comes in and says I owe $322. After a few minutes of to and fro she agrees to half it. Then my dentures were made and they were more gums than teeth. I don't know how they altered them, probably re-made them, but now they look like rabbit teeth. They are very painful and I have been back 6 times to have them slightly altered. Now, 3 months later, I can just about wear them for about an hour a day. Still very painful, also loose. I can't eat anything with them, can barely talk, they've fallen out completely a few times. The dentist said to me, rather than keep coming back, why don't you just use Polygrip. That said it all to me.

I was told by Dental Smart, they could not see me until the middle of October. Didn't Dental Smart ever hear of a dental emergency? Dental Smart never bothered to ask me my medical history, or even try to squeeze me in for this dental emergency. In my opinion, for being a "Dental Care Center" this place DOES NOT CARE about the health of their patients.
