Early Life
Dr. Mehrotra comes from a rich lineage of doctors and dentists. His grandfather (Dad’s side – Dr. P.N.Mehrotra) was the first private dental practitioner in his home city of Lucknow, and Dr. G.D.Kapoor (Mom’s side) was one of the pioneer cardiologists of his time in India.
Dr. Mehrotra was born in Lucknow, India, to Dr. Nikhil Mehrotra, an oral surgeon, and Mrs. Vini Mehrotra. He grew up in India and often watched his Dad change patients’ lives for the better. The love and respect patients showed his dad inspired him to pursue Dental School in India. Dr. Mehrotra graduated from the prestigious King George’s Medical University, Dental College, India, at the top of his class, with a multitude of gold medals and certificates in his final year. Pursuing his passion for higher learning surgery, he subsequently completed his DDS from Columbia University in New York, followed by his medical and surgical training at NYU.

Dr. Mehrotra strongly believes in giving back to the community, and since his dental school days, he has made sure to regularly volunteer in and sponsor community events, helping organize free dental camps, helping in “Give Kids a Smile,” the Columbia Free Dental Clinic, and many more such.
Outside the Office

He is also a regular practitioner of Sahaja Yoga Meditation and loves to read, explore new places and cuisines, and play cricket, tennis, and table tennis in his free time.

Z-Systems Ceramic Implants
Exclusively in Basking Ridge from Dr. Prakhar Mehrotra
The Only FDA Approved 100 % Metal Free Implants, Superior to Titanium Implants in Many Areas:
More natural.
Bones and gums integrate better with zirconium oxide ceramics.
Healthier.
Z-SYSTEMS implants are metal-free, biocompatible, conduct neither heat nor electrical energy, and cause no irritation to the immune system.
More sustainable.
Less plaque accretion than on titanium. This reduces the risk of perimplantitis as well as cardiovascular diseases and strokes.
Stronger.
Ceramic is much stronger than titanium.
More aesthetic.
Thanks to the white material, no gray shadows are visible even with thin or receding gums.
More visible.
Ceramic implants are opaque to X-rays, and easier to recognize in critical situations.
What Is A Dental Implant?
The implant body or post is the portion of the implant that is inserted into the jawbone. The implant body integrates with the jawbone and becomes the anchor for the new tooth.
The implant abutment is the portion of the dental implant inside the crown. Sometimes the abutment is created with the implant body as one piece. Other times, it is separate and attached to the implant with a screw. The abutment shapes the gum tissue and supports the crown.
The dental implant crown is the portion of the dental implant you see, but if done correctly, no one can tell it is not a natural tooth. The crown is bonded or cemented to the implant abutment and is commonly made of a ceramic or zirconia material because of its naturally white color and strength.
