With around 7.0 lakh (695,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Ujjain is number 95 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 0.8 million by 2030, so demand for dentists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Madhya Pradesh's 0.79 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 550 hospital beds in Ujjain, including about 28 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 8 hospitals (about 4 public and 4 private). That is about 1266 residents for every bed and around 69 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 1,500 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 860 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Ujjain, supported by around 1,600 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 Ujjain.
On health outcomes, Madhya Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 70.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 52% of hospital beds in Madhya Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private dentists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 dentist for Ujjain, and 4 other cities in Madhya Pradesh have their own dentist page below.

Frequently asked questions: Dentists in Ujjain
How do I find the best dentist in Ujjain?
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, Mahakal Oral and Dental Care Centre (INFRONT OF UNION BANK AND SBI, G 2/8, Cosmos Mall Rd, Jawahar Nagar, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh 456010) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a dentist in Ujjain?
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 Ujjain?
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.

Ujjain has both government and private hospitals; availability of dentist services varies. Use the listings above as a starting point and confirm departments and timings by phone.

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 Ujjain have?
