Dentists in Nagpur at a glance
Quick facts about Nagpur and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

With around 3.2 million (32 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Nagpur is number 19 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.1% a year, it would reach about 3.5 million by 2030, so demand for dentists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Maharashtra's 1.83 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 5,800 hospital beds in Nagpur, including about 290 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 80 hospitals (about 18 public and 62 private). That is about 546 residents for every bed and around 72 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 3,700 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 3,900 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Nagpur, supported by around 7,100 nurses and midwives. 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 Nagpur.
On health outcomes, Maharashtra's infant mortality rate is 13 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.5 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 78% of hospital beds in Maharashtra are private, so most people weigh private dentists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 dentist for Nagpur, and 18 other cities in Maharashtra have their own dentist page below.

Healthcare in Nagpur: the bigger picture
Using state-level data scaled to its population, Nagpur is estimated to have about 5,800 hospital beds across roughly 80 hospitals, including around 290 ICU beds. Maharashtra state averages about 1.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people, above the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. About 78% of beds in Maharashtra are in the private sector, so many patients choose between private clinics and government hospitals depending on cost and the kind of care needed.
Major hospitals and teaching institutions often associated with Nagpur include AIIMS Nagpur and Govt Medical College (Mayo). Availability of Dentist / Dental Clinic services varies by department and by day, so check outpatient timings directly before visiting. (This list is general knowledge, not a complete or verified directory, and includes both public and private institutions.)
For context on health outcomes in Maharashtra: the state infant mortality rate is 13 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.5 years, above the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Dentists are registered with the Dental Council of India and State Dental Councils. A dental clinic may combine a general dentist with visiting specialists (MDS) for braces, root canals, gum treatment and implants, so ask which specialist will actually treat you.

- Tell the dentist about conditions such as diabetes and any blood thinners
- Ask for a written treatment plan and estimate
Frequently asked questions: Dentists in Nagpur
Who is the best dentist in Nagpur?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to 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. On this page, Dr. Agrawal Dental Clinic (beside Haldiram Thaat Baat, near Eternity Mall, Sitabuldi, Nagpur, Maharashtra 440012) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a dentist in Nagpur?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a dentist consultation cost in Nagpur?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Nagpur offer dentist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Nagpur include AIIMS Nagpur and Govt Medical College (Mayo), and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for dentist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
How often should I visit a dentist in Nagpur?
Most dentists suggest a check-up and cleaning every six months, or more often if you have gum disease, braces or a history of cavities. Early checks usually mean simpler and cheaper treatment.
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.
How many hospital beds does Nagpur have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 5,800 beds (around 290 ICU beds) for Nagpur. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
