Palmetto Dental Associates - Emily Hortman, DMD

Dental care along Highway 9 in Little River doesn’t always get the same attention as Myrtle Beach’s bustling clinics. Palmetto Dental Associates - Emily Hortman, DMD fills that gap for residents and nearby communities who prefer staying closer to home for routine checkups, cleanings, or restorative work. This stretch of road, lined with live oaks and local businesses, offers a quieter alternative to the tourist-heavy corridors just minutes away.

The area around 3359 Hwy 9 E has seen steady growth, but it retains a small-town practicality that appeals to families and retirees alike.

For those who’ve lived in Little River long enough to remember when this route was mostly farmland, the convenience of a local dentist is still a novelty worth noting.

Contact details are straightforward: reach the office by phone at (843) 399-2525 for appointments or questions.
