Andrea Ballengee, DDS

Just off the MarshWalk’s quieter stretch, dental care keeps things low-key but consistent. Andrea Ballengee, DDS operates from a US-17 address—4405, to be exact—where routine checkups and preventive work likely take precedence over flashy procedures. The practice doesn’t advertise cosmetic specialties or emergency walk-ins, which suggests a focus on general dentistry: cleanings, fillings, maybe the occasional crown or bridge. No frills, just the basics handled with the kind of regularity that keeps a patient base returning for years.

Public feedback on this office is unusually broad but muted; Google lists no star rating despite 827 reviews, a quirk that either points to a polarized history or a technical hiccup. Either way, the volume implies steady traffic—people don’t leave 800+ opinions on a place they’ve only visited once. For anyone mapping out dental options along the Grand Strand, this spot sits conveniently between Myrtle Beach’s tourist core and Georgetown’s slower pace, making it a plausible choice for residents who’d rather not deal with Highway 501 congestion.

Direct questions about appointments or services are best routed through a quick call to (843) 651-5557. If you’re plotting the drive, the map pin drops you just north of the inlet’s seafood joints—far enough from the boardwalk noise to suggest parking won’t involve circling for spots. No guarantees, of course; this is still a coastal corridor in summer.
