Dr. Donald Ricker, DMD

Dentists in Murrells Inlet tend to cluster near the main roads. Dr. Donald Ricker, DMD keeps an office in one of those predictable but practical spots, just off Frontage Road. The address—9356 Frontage Rd # C—places it close enough to the MarshWalk to catch foot traffic without the tourist-season chaos.

They handle the usual lineup: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and emergency work. X-rays and extractions are part of the routine, and there’s a nod to cosmetic options for anyone wanting a brighter smile. Nothing flashy, just the basics done in a strip-mall setting that blends into the neighborhood.

Murrells Inlet isn’t known for its urban density, so finding a dentist within a few minutes’ drive still feels like a minor victory. The place operates on the kind of schedule that assumes patients have day jobs, which probably explains why the phone rings more often after four. To reach them, call (843) 215-0579.

Directions are straightforward: pull up the map and follow the pin to the small lot behind the seafood market. Parking is whatever you can find, which is usually enough.
