Best Dentist in Bangalore
Prof. Dr. Lalith
V Anand
Consultant Periodontist & Implantologist · Founder Director, PRALASH Dentique
A Consultant Periodontist and Implantologist with 20 years of speciality practice and 25 years in general dentistry. Patients across Bangalore consider him the best dentist in Bangalore for complex implant and gum care.
Twenty-five years in dentistry,
twenty focused on the hardest cases.
Dr Lalith has spent the last twenty of those years focused almost entirely on periodontics and implantology — the cases that don't respond to routine treatment and that other clinics tend to refer out.
His PhD in Periodontics, one of the very few awarded in this field in India, was recognised by the Hon' President of India, Shri Ramnath Kovind. He built PRALASH Dentique as a clinic focused on advanced dental and orofacial rehabilitation, and founded the Academy of Ingenuity Dentistry, where he trains younger dentists in implant work through hands on practice.
That teaching habit shows up in consultations too — he explains what he sees in your mouth the way he'd explain it to a student, in plain terms, before he talks about treatment.

Beyond his clinical practice at PRALASH Dentique, Dr Lalith holds current and former teaching appointments at dental institutions across four countries.

Trusted dental care for the whole family
Even though Dr Lalith's own specialisation is periodontics and implantology, PRALASH Dermystique & Dentique also functions as a family dentist for households in Bangalore, with routine checkups, fillings, and preventive care handled alongside his specialist work. Many patients start with a small complaint, a bleeding gum or a loose tooth, and only realise later it needed a specialist's eye rather than a filling.
For patients with children, the clinic also coordinates visits with a dentist trained for younger patients, so a family doesn't need three different clinics for three different age groups.
Why patients choose Dr. Lalith
A lot of patients in Dr Lalith's chair have already tried somewhere else. An implant that didn't take. A gum problem that kept coming back no matter what toothpaste or mouthwash they switched to. What usually brings them back after the first visit isn't the wall of certificates, it's that he actually sits down and explains what's going on in the mouth before jumping to what he wants to do about it.
He also doesn't shy away from telling a patient the honest timeline, even when it's longer than they hoped. If someone has diabetes or a bone density issue, that changes how an implant case gets planned, and his own research on implants in systemically compromised patients means he's dealt with that conversation more times than most dentists in the city have.
That's usually what people mean when they call him an experienced dentist in Bangalore. Not the framed degrees on the wall. The fact that he's seen the complicated version of your problem before.
What patients say
I visited the clinic after I had been to many dentists for the same problem. Excellent diagnosis by Dr Lalith. I could see the change within a week after following the treatment, after suffering for over 7 months.
I had the privilege of learning implantology under Dr Lalith. His teaching was detailed, practical, and easy to follow. The clinical setup was professional and well equipped.
Got a dental implant done here. Dr Lalith explained the whole process. The treatment was at an affordable price, and the clinic was clean and well maintained.
