A Family Dental Practice, Rooted In Murrells Inlet Since 1998

Carolina Dental Center has been part of the Murrells Inlet community for more than 25 years. We're a privately owned practice, not a corporate chain, and that shapes everything: how much time we spend with you, how we make decisions, and how it feels to walk through our door. Here, you're treated like family.

Our Story

Carolina Dental Center first opened its doors in 1998, building a reputation across the Grand Strand for trustworthy, comfortable care. Dr. Kevin Hojnowski joined the practice as an associate in 2021 and took ownership in 2022, carrying that legacy forward as a solo practitioner.

What hasn't changed is the heart of the practice. As a privately owned office, we answer to our patients and no one else. That independence lets us do dentistry the way we believe it should be done: unhurried, honest, and centered on what's genuinely best for your health, not a corporate quota.
