Taken together, the 5 Karnataka cities with a page here have an estimated 18.7 million residents (about 187 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Bengaluru (14.4 million), Mysuru (1.3 million) and Hubballi-Dharwad (1.3 million), followed by 2 smaller cities. Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.
Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 71,000 hospital beds, including some 3,500 ICU beds, in an estimated 2,900 hospitals (roughly 770 public and 2,100 private). Karnataka averages 3.80 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 73% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 23,000 doctors and 42,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. Dentists are registered separately with the Dental Council of India and are not included in the doctor count above. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many dentists practise in Karnataka.
Karnataka has infant mortality of 15 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 74.3 years (India: about 72). This page lists 5 dentists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

How to choose a dentist
- Check the qualification: BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery), with MDS for specialists such as orthodontists and endodontists.
- Verify registration with the Dental Council of India (DCI) and your State Dental Council and note the registration number.
- Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
- Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Combined listings cover individual dentists and dental clinics. MDS specialists (orthodontist, endodontist, periodontist, oral surgeon) focus on particular treatments.
Frequently asked questions: Dentists in Karnataka
Which cities in Karnataka have listed dentists?
We hold dentists listings for 5 cities in Karnataka, including Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hubballi-Dharwad, Mangaluru and Belagavi. Each city has its own page with contact details and local information.
How many dentists are listed in Karnataka?
This page shows 5 listed providers across 5 cities. It is a starting point rather than a complete register, so use the qualification and registration checks on each city page before booking.
Who is the best dentist in Karnataka?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and city. Shortlist two or three dentists, check their qualification and registration with the Dental Council of India (DCI) and your State Dental Council, and compare facilities and communication. Sky Dental Clinic (Bengaluru) is the first listing on this page - confirm details by phone.
How do I choose between a general dentist and a specialist?
A general dentist (BDS) manages most routine problems. For braces or aligners see an orthodontist, for complex root canals an endodontist, for gum disease a periodontist and for implants a surgeon or prosthodontist with implant training.
How can I compare dental treatment costs?
Ask for a written treatment plan with the cost of each step, the materials used (for example the type of crown or implant) and the number of visits. Comparing like with like is more useful than comparing headline prices.
