There are fairly a good number of high quality hospitals with good dental departments...

http://www.hospitals...itals/index.htm

On the list in that site the following are really good hospitals
Kerala Institute of Medical Science
Cosmopolitan
SPAN
SUT
S P Fort
P R S

Most of them are focussed on foreign patients, especially hoards of them coming from Sri Lanka, Maldives and ofcourse middle east.

I am not too sure if srm has anything to contribute here. Cannot understand much of what is written however, can say this.

When you are heading to India for a medical procedure, you are making a huge bargain versus the costs back home. Nope please do not go and save some extra pennies by going to the cheapest option in some hidden corner of India, where even Indias would not feel comfortable going to. Visit the established hospitals of good repute and then enjoy their facilities.
