66Smyleee

STE I, 2120, South 700 East, Sugar House, Salt Lake City, Utah

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Salt Lake City clinic with a cosmetic dentistry specialty — Gum Disease Treatment is on file among 17 procedures.

Read full description

Salt Lake Dental is a general dental practice on South 700 East in Sugar House, built around continuing family care rather than one-off visits. The office sees children and adults through the same range of checkups, cleanings, and restorative work, which matters if you would rather keep one dentist across different life stages instead of switching providers as needs change. Patients dealing with a toothache or a cracked filling can also be seen through the practice's emergency dentistry slot, so a same-week problem does not sit until the next open routine appointment.

The service list covers the basics -- dental cleaning, fillings, and gum disease treatment, which addresses the gum inflammation and bone loss caused by untreated plaque -- alongside more involved procedures like crowns, bridges, and root canal treatment for a tooth whose inner nerve has become infected. A cavity caught early might only need a filling, while one left longer can mean a crown to rebuild the tooth's structure, and this practice handles both under one roof. Cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening cover the appearance side, and when a tooth is too damaged to save, extraction stops the problem from spreading to teeth nearby rather than leaving it to worsen.

If you're catching a cavity early or already living with a toothache that will not quit, this is a practice built for both ends of that timeline -- from a routine filling to the extraction that follows when waiting has gone on too long.

What this costs depends on the specific tooth, the extent of decay or gum involvement, and how much work is needed once the dentist looks closer -- a filling costs less than a crown or root canal, and there is no flat number until that exam happens, though the practice is tagged for affordable dental care. Salt Lake Dental suits patients who want a Sugar House option for routine upkeep -- cleanings, fillings, a whitening treatment before an event -- but also somewhere to call if a filling breaks or a tooth starts aching without warning, rather than keeping two separate offices on hand.

How to Choose a Dentist in Salt Lake City

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
