DENTAL TOURISM IN INDIA

Why should you prefer India as a destination for dental tourism over Turkey, Thailand, Mexico or Malaysia?

People often travel abroad for dental care when long waiting periods in their home country delay treatment, or when the cost of procedures is very high and not adequately covered by insurance. This is particularly common for treatments such as dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, bone grafting and Invisalign. India has become a top choice for medical and dental treatments, supported by its rapidly advancing healthcare infrastructure and highly qualified specialists. Major metropolitan cities like Hyderabad, New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru have modern hospitals, advanced technology... making them popular with patients from around the world. Here's why:

Lower cost, same quality.

You pay roughly a quarter of Western prices, while using the same materials and methods.

English is standard.

No translator needed… the whole team communicates in English and translators are also readily available upon request.

More experience per case.

India has highly experienced dental specialists across every speciality such as dental implants, smile makeovers, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, gum therapy and bone grafting. High patient volumes and exposure to diverse and complex cases allow specialists to build extensive clinical experience.

Backed by research and innovation.

India’s healthcare and dental sectors are increasingly contributing to clinical research, academic publications and the adoption of advanced technologies. Many leading hospitals and dental centres combine modern treatment techniques with evidence-based clinical practices.

Diverse culture and experiences.

India offers more than healthcare... it gives international patients the opportunity to combine treatment with a memorable travel experience. From the beaches and nightlife of Goa and the Taj Mahal in Agra, 7th wonder of the world to meditation in Rishikesh, the Yoga capital of the world and Ayurveda for rejuvenation in Kerala, patients can explore experiences suited to their interests while they recover.

Hyderabad and Kochi dental tourism in India

Why Hyderabad and Kochi are most preferred by dental tourists visiting India?

Hyderabad – Healthcare, connectivity and culture in one city. Hyderabad is an excellent business city and one of India’s leading healthcare and pharmaceutical hubs, with modern hospitals, diagnostic centres and highly trained specialists. The city is well connected internationally, with direct flights from major cities in the Gulf, Europe and Asia. Patients can also enjoy Hyderabad’s rich ancient history, excellent hotels and famous cuisine, including its iconic biryani and traditional dishes, during their stay.

Kochi – Dental care with a relaxing wellness experience. Kochi is an ideal destination for patients who want to combine dental treatment with rest and rejuvenation. Kerala, known as the God's own country, offers beautiful backwaters, Ayurveda and a peaceful environment for recovery. Its strong air connectivity, particularly with Gulf countries, also makes it convenient for international patients.

International dental care made easier. Both Hyderabad and Kochi offer modern healthcare infrastructure and experienced dental professionals. FMS International Dental Clinic has dedicated international clinics and international patient coordinators in both these cities to help patients with appointments, treatment planning and their overall dental journey. Competitive treatment costs can also make India an attractive option for international patients, although actual savings vary by procedure and individual treatment plan.

What Dental Treatments International Patients Choose Most when they visit India?

FMS DENTAL is a preferred destination for international patients seeking high-quality dental care across a wide range of advanced dental treatments, including:

Dental Implants

Statistics show more than 70% of international patients who visit FMS Dental come for dental implants. Dr. Shailaja Reddy placed her first implant in 1999. Since then, she and her team have placed more than 25,000 implants, with a documented 98.6% success rate. The team includes senior oral and maxillofacial surgeons like Dr. Dushyanth Paul, Dr. Sasank and prosthodontists like Dr. Aditya, Dr. Kavya and the same team has been practicing together ever since.

FMS DENTAL is best known for full mouth implant treatments, including:

● All-on-4 implants since 2008

● Zygomatic implants since 2010

● A full set of teeth on 6-8 straight implants per jaw

● Teeth in 1-3 days... Immediate loading protocols, so you get fixed teeth quickly after surgery

Where bone is low, we also do sinus lifts and bone grafting. But our strength is graft-less solutions, which avoid grafting wherever possible. So if you have been told elsewhere that you don't have enough bone, it is worth sending us your scan.

For full mouth implant treatment, plan to stay 7 to 10 days.

Cost: Cost-effective implants start from as low as ₹36,000 (about US$375) per implant. Premium Straumann implants cost ₹58,000 (about US$604) per implant.

Cosmetic Dentistry & Smile Makeovers

Up to 25% of international patients travel to FMS Dental for veneers and smile transformations, making cosmetic dentistry the second most requested treatment. We design each smile around the person, using veneers, gum contouring, neuromodulators, lip fillers etc. and where needed, complex orthognathic (jaw) surgeries as well.

FMS Dental set up its own dental laboratory in 1995. Our lab has kept pace with ceramic technology over the years:

● 1997: Aesthetic front-tooth work with feldspathic ceramic (VITABLOCS Mark II)

● 2000s: Empress all-ceramic systems

● 2010 onwards: IPS e.max (lithium disilicate) and zirconia. E.max is today's gold standard for porcelain veneers.

The team is led by senior cosmetic dentist Dr. P. Parthasaradhi Reddy. It also includes accredited cosmetic dentists like Dr. Khushboo, orthodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, facial surgeons and dermatologists. Digital Smile Design and smile mock-ups are part of every treatment, so you see your new smile before anything is done.

Our dental lab is in the same building as the clinic. The dentist and our master ceramist, Jaweed, review each veneer together before it is fitted. Most clinics outsource this work and cannot offer that level of control.

Cost: Each porcelain veneer costs from about ₹22,000 (about US$229).

Gum Therapy & Bone Grafting

Gum treatment and bone grafting account for around 5% of FMS Dental's international patients... a smaller share, but this is one area which is rapidly growing over the last 2-3 years. The increasing demand is partly driven by the high cost of periodontal treatment and bone grafting in many countries, where insurance coverage may be limited or unavailable for these procedures. When gum disease has progressed beyond home care, FMS Dental treats it surgically rather than simply managing it, using keyhole (minimally invasive) techniques and laser-assisted LANAP for non-invasive gum therapies. This results in less bleeding and a faster recovery than conventional gum surgery.

Where an implant or a natural tooth needs more bone to work with, the gum specialists carry out bone grafting, sinus lifts and ridge augmentation... often in the same visit as the implant itself. Most gum surgery and grafting cases are completed within about 2 weeks, including a review appointment before you fly home.

Invisalign

FMS Dental offers international patients both the globally recognised Invisalign system and a faster in-house alternative, FMS SmartALIGN. Invisalign costs ₹1,30,000-₹2,50,000 (about US$1,355–2,607)... a saving of over 80% compared to Western prices, but the aligners are manufactured abroad and shipped, so plan for around 3 weeks in India if you want your first sets before you fly home.

For shorter visits, FMS SmartALIGN is designed, 3D-printed and produced entirely in-house, starting from ₹70,000 (about US$730) and ready for delivery in as little as 5 days... the practical choice for patients on a tighter schedule.

One Patient. Two Cities. One Seamless Journey.

Imagine arriving in India knowing that your treatment, appointments and travel plans have already been coordinated. Oliver Vance from the USA travelled to India for a full-mouth rehabilitation with dental implants. His journey was coordinated by Dr. Rohini, a dentist from the FMS International Patient Coordination team. Before Oliver boarded his flight, his treatment plan, estimated costs and day-by-day schedule had already been discussed and organised.

01

Days 1-2: Arrive, assess and plan

Oliver arrived in Hyderabad and met the senior dental specialists at FMS. He underwent a 3D CBCT scan, intraoral scans and required blood investigations. With all the information available, his final treatment plan was confirmed.

02

Days 3-5: Treatment begins

His implant treatment was carried out as planned. Dental implants were placed and a fixed provisional prosthesis was provided, allowing him to leave the clinic with a functional temporary set of teeth.

03

Day 6: Review and recovery

A review was scheduled, giving Oliver time to rest and recover. His itinerary was deliberately planned so that the more demanding days of treatment were not immediately followed by air travel.

04

Day 7: Time to explore India

Once cleared to travel, Oliver left Hyderabad and continued his Indian journey, including a visit to the Taj Mahal.

05

Days 8-12: From treatment to rejuvenation

His journey then continued to Kochi, where he could relax and enjoy Kerala's backwaters, Ayurveda and peaceful surroundings.

The Kochi FMS Dental team already had access to his treatment records, so there was no need to start his story all over again.

06

Day 12: Final review before flying home

Oliver completed his scheduled review at FMS International Dental Center in Kochi, had his sutures removed and then flew back to the USA.

✓

Connected care beyond the journey

No repeated scans. No explaining his entire medical history again. No starting from scratch. His Hyderabad and Kochi teams were connected through the same patient record and treatment plan. And the journey didn't end when Oliver boarded his flight home.

Dr. Rohini from FMS Dental team continued to stay connected with him for follow-up care. Happy with his treatment and the way his entire journey was coordinated, Oliver is already planning his return to India for his permanent prosthesis. And this time, his wish list is even longer: Goa, Jaipur and Ayodhya... planned around his dental appointments.

Your treatment is the priority. Your journey is part of the experience.

With FMS International Patient Customer Care, you don't have to navigate a foreign country, a complex treatment plan and travel arrangements on your own.

One coordinator. One connected care team. One treatment journey... from your first video consultation to your follow-up after you return home.
