We have been putting our care with Dr. Emily Hortman for over ten years now and trust her with all of our dental needs. She really cares and goes above and beyond.

All of the staff are super friendly and brighten our day. Tara is patient at answering all of our questions and our hygienists, Jackie and Nikkie, do a great job cleaning our dirty mouths up with care so we have sparkling smiles throughout the year.

We recommend Palmetto Dental and wouldn’t put our trust in anyone else for our dental needs.

My wife and I are new to the area and were lucky to find Dr. Emily Hortman. I just had a dental emergency where a cap came off an old tooth and it was causing me some discomfort. Palmetto Dental worked me into their schedule and I now have a new temporary cap with a new one on the way.

The front office staff is extremely nice and very accommodating. Dr. Hortman and her assistant Erin were fantastic.

I highly recommend Palmetto Dental Associates in Little River.

I have been going to Palmetto Dentistry for over 5 years now. When I first moved to SC I was lucky enough to see their building on my way to and from work and decided I would give their practice a shot! They have been amazing the entire time I have been a client. They always send reminders for appointments and are easy to work with if your schedule gets messed up and you need to change appointments.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Hortman. The first and most important thing is she does an incredible job. She has fixed two crowns and put in a bridge for me. I have a lot of damage from an ATV accident and she has not only kept up with previous repairs but fixed many of them and improved how they feel from prior dentists. She is personable and explains what the plan is and works with you. If anyone is looking for a new dentist, look no further!

If you are searching for a new dental home near our office here in Little River, SC 29566, then Palmetto Dental Associates is the right place for you.
