How much does it cost to fix a small dent in a car?

I’m teaching my son how to drive, and during our most recent lesson, a squirrel crossed the road and caused him to swerve into a post. No one was hurt, thankfully, but there’s a small dent in the door. How much will it cost to get a small dent fixed?
