Read full description
Near downtown Salt Lake City on East 100 South, Dr. Mark L. Pettit, DDS runs a practice that carries the personal feel of a dentist-led office, where patients often see the same familiar face from one visit to the next. The foundation of the work is general dentistry, with cleanings, exams, fillings, and preventive care that help patients stay ahead of cavities and gum trouble. For people who live or work near the city center, the location offers a convenient place to keep up with routine care and build a lasting relationship with their dentist. Cosmetic dentistry is part of what the office provides for patients who want to improve the look of their smile. Teeth whitening offers a straightforward lift for a smile dimmed by coffee, tea, and daily wear, and porcelain veneers reshape teeth that are chipped, uneven, or discolored. With a single dentist guiding the work, patients tend to appreciate the consistency of having one person plan and carry out their cosmetic treatment, keeping the result aligned with what they envisioned. For more involved needs, the practice offers dental implants to replace missing teeth with a stable, lasting solution. Implants restore both the function of chewing and the confidence of a complete smile, and Dr. Pettit can walk patients through what the process involves so it feels clear rather than overwhelming. This restorative capability means patients can handle complex cases without being sent elsewhere. Emergency dentistry rounds out the services, ensuring that a sudden toothache or a broken tooth has somewhere to turn quickly. The downtown-adjacent location makes the office accessible for people throughout Salt Lake City. Dr. Pettit's practice suits patients who value a warm, attentive style and clear explanations of their care. Whether the visit is a routine cleaning, a whitening session, an implant consultation, or an urgent problem, the office aims to provide thoughtful, personalized dentistry for the Salt Lake City community. For people drawn to a personal, one-on-one rapport with their dentist, that downtown-adjacent continuity is a large part of the appeal.

Salt Lake City clinic with a cosmetic dentistry specialty — Root Canal Treatment is on file among 13 procedures.

More about root canal treatment at this clinic

The service list covers everyday and urgent needs: dental cleanings and fillings for cavities, root canal treatment for a tooth whose inner pulp has become infected, and extractions when a tooth can't be saved. Cost naturally depends on what's actually wrong — a cleaning and a root canal aren't priced the same, and what looks like a simple filling sometimes turns into something more once a dentist gets a clear look.

Salt Lake Dental

66Smyleee

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

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Cosmetic Dentistry is the documented focus in Salt Lake City; Root Canal Treatment sits within 17 services on profile.

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.

More about root canal treatment at this clinic

Root canals treat infection inside a tooth's nerve as an alternative to pulling it, and extractions remain the option when a tooth can't be saved. That variability matters most when a bridge or root canal is on the table alongside cosmetic work, since those decisions often get made together rather than as separate appointments.

Root canal treatment clears an infection inside a tooth's nerve as an alternative to pulling it, and gum disease treatment addresses the gums before a problem reaches the bone. If you've been putting off a cracked filling or an aching tooth, this is a practice that treats the checkup and the crown or root canal that follows under one roof, rather than sending you elsewhere for the harder part.

Implants restore the ability to chew and speak comfortably and offer a lasting alternative to gaps or removable appliances.

The practice also keeps emergency dentistry available, knowing that a sudden toothache or a child's chipped tooth cannot always wait for the next open slot. Having a place to turn for urgent care means quicker relief and less worry for everyone. Wall Family Dentistry suits families who want a single, approachable practice that can handle nearly everything, from a toddler's cleaning to an adult's implant.

More about root canal treatment at this clinic

Cleanings and fillings handle routine maintenance and early decay, while root canal treatment and extractions step in once a tooth is too damaged to save. If you're the type who puts off a cracked filling until it turns into a root canal, having cleanings, fillings, and emergency care under one practice removes the excuse to wait until it's worse. Cost is the one variable no directory listing can pin down — a cleaning and a root canal are priced worlds apart, and what a crown or bridge runs depends on how much rebuilding the tooth needs.

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?
EditorialUpdated August 19, 2026Independently reviewed
