Know More About Dr. AlokDr. Alok Bhardwaj provides six core treatments in Jaipur for adults and children: preventive care, cosmetic dentistry, implants, orthodontics, oral surgery, and 3D diagnostics. All surgical care is delivered by an MDS maxillofacial surgeon across three clinics, not referred out to others.
Dr. Alok Bhardwaj is an MDS Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon in Jaipur and Head of Dental at Eternal Hospital, with 16+ years of experience and 5,000+ patients treated across three clinics. He specialises in dental implants, facial trauma, and orthognathic jaw surgery for adults and children.
Dr. Bhardwaj earned his BDS from the College of Dental Sciences, Davangere, and his MDS in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from Mahatma Gandhi Mission's Dental College and Hospital, Navi Mumbai. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Oral Implantology India (FAOI), a maxillofacial consultant at trauma hospitals across Jaipur, and a consulting implantologist across Rajasthan. His credentials match his listing on the Bhardwaj Dental Centre team page and his Eternal Hospital profile. See full qualifications.
In practice since 2009, he has completed 16+ years of clinical work and treated 5,000+ patients as of 2026, averaging more than 300 surgical and implant cases a year. He consults about 60 clinical hours per week, Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 7 PM, across three Jaipur locations, with Sundays closed. Every surgical plan is made by the surgeon himself after a clinical exam and imaging, and surgical treatments are performed in-house rather than referred out.
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon diagnoses and surgically treats diseases, injuries, and defects of the mouth, jaws, and face. In Jaipur, Dr. Alok Bhardwaj covers the full range for adults and children: implants, wisdom-tooth surgery, facial trauma, jaw correction, aligners, and family dentistry.
Unlike a general dentist, a maxillofacial surgeon completes 3 years of full-time MDS surgical residency after BDS, training in anaesthesia, bone grafting, trauma fixation, and pathology. That matters when a case involves impacted teeth near nerves, fractured jaws, or full-mouth implant rehabilitation. Read about the surgical training before you choose.
For most healthy adults with missing teeth, a dental implant is the longest-lasting option because it replaces the root and preserves jawbone. Bridges and dentures cost less upfront but reshape neighbouring teeth or rest on gums, so the right choice depends on bone, budget, and age.
The table below compares the three options on the factors Jaipur patients ask about most: lifespan, bone loss, visits, and cost band. Figures reflect 2026 Jaipur private-practice ranges and peer-reviewed survival data; your written estimate after a scan is the final word. Discuss all three at your consultation.
| Option | How long it lasts | Bone preservation | Visits needed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dental implant + crown | 95 to 98% survive 10 years; fixture can last decades, crown 10 to 15 years | Yes, stimulates bone like a root | 3 to 5 visits over 3 to 6 months | Single or multiple gaps with adequate bone; 16+ years experience operator |
| Tooth-supported bridge | 80 to 90% survive 10 years; often remade at 10 to 12 years | No, bone under the missing tooth shrinks | 2 to 3 visits over 2 to 3 weeks | Patients who cannot have surgery or need the fastest fixed result |
| Removable denture | 5 to 8 years before reline or remake as gums change | No, accelerates ridge resorption over time | 3 to 4 visits over 3 to 4 weeks | Full-arch tooth loss on a tight budget; lowest upfront cost |
A single implant with crown in Jaipur typically ranges from Rs. 28,000 to Rs. 55,000 in 2026 depending on the implant system, grafting, and crown material. Bridges cost less per unit upfront but involve two adjacent teeth; dentures cost least upfront but carry yearly maintenance. Over 15 years, one implant is often the lowest total-cost option because remakes are rarer.
Peer-reviewed studies report 95 to 98 percent implant survival at 10 years when cases are 3D-planned, placed sterile, and maintained yearly. Success is highest in non-smokers with controlled blood sugar, adequate bone, and regular cleanings every 6 to 12 months.
Three numbers guide every plan here. First, 3 to 6 months of healing lets titanium fuse to bone before the final crown takes full load. Second, 24 to 48 hours is the typical return-to-work window after routine implant or wisdom-tooth surgery, with soreness managed by standard painkillers for 2 to 3 days. Third, aligner trays work only at 20 to 22 hours of daily wear; below 18 hours, a 6 to 14 month plan routinely slips by months. These are the figures quoted at consultation, not best-case marketing.
"An implant is not a screw, it is a prosthetic plan worked backwards. I place nothing until I know exactly where the final tooth will sit."

"In facial trauma, the first 24 hours decide the next 24 years of a face. Early, precise fixation prevents a lifetime of asymmetry."
Dr. Alok Bhardwaj, MDS Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, maxillofacial consultant at Jaipur trauma hospitals
"I tell every aligner patient the truth upfront: trays straighten teeth only if worn 20 to 22 hours a day. Compliance is the treatment."

Here are short, direct answers to the five questions Jaipur patients ask most, reviewed by Dr. Alok Bhardwaj on 7 November 2026. Each answer is under 70 words for clarity. For exact fees and candidacy, the 3D scan at your visit remains definitive.
A single implant with crown in Jaipur typically ranges from Rs. 28,000 to Rs. 55,000 in 2026, depending on implant system, bone grafting, and crown material. Dr. Alok Bhardwaj gives a written, itemised estimate after a 3D scan, so you approve the exact plan and fee before treatment begins.
No. Surgery is done under local anaesthesia, so you feel pressure but not pain. Most patients return to desk work within 24 to 48 hours with mild soreness managed by standard painkillers for 2 to 3 days. Sedation is available for anxious patients, and 3D-guided planning keeps incisions small.
With good hygiene and yearly reviews, modern implants show 95 to 98 percent survival at 10 years in systematic reviews. The titanium fixture can last decades; the crown may need replacement after 10 to 15 years. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and missed cleanings are the biggest risk factors.
