Starting his career in 1939, John Turner opened Turner Dental Laboratory in the Sayward Building in the heart of downtown Victoria in 1966, working with a few employees in partials and dentures. In 1994, it became evident that the business was outgrowing its location, so Doug and Terry began work on constructing a new professionally designed, state-of-the-art laboratory that could accommodate a growing staff and increasing level of production, without compromising quality.
The lab first became well-known by pioneering precious metal work in Victoria, and has since developed into a full-service laboratory with two locations, employing more than 35 people. Although the size of the organization has changed throughout the years, the concern for customer satisfaction and attention to craftsmanship that you associate with a family business has never changed. A dental lab is customer-oriented. At Turner’s, the emphasis always has been and always will be on personalized, professional, and friendly service.
