There is a 10 fold increase in Dental Implants in the USA from 1983 to 2002, and a similar trend is seen in our country too. Dental Implants offer a natural looking, comfortable and permanent solution to replacing missing teeth. Implants are utilized to replace a single missing tooth, support a bridge or secure a denture.
Dr. Turner and his team perform implant surgeries in a dedicated sterilized implant center. The implant systems used at the office are NobelBiocare Implants (Sweden) and Friadent (Germany) by Dentsply, which are rated as the leaders in implant dentistry. At the first appointment the dental titanium implant is screwed into the bone and it fuses or “osseointegrates” with the jaw bone over time. This usually takes about 3-4 months.
Once the implant is completely integrated with the bone a ceramic crown is then screwed into the implant.
Am I A Candidate for Dental Implants
Anyone and everyone with missing teeth is a candidate for dental implants. A person having a single missing tooth to having all his teeth missing can benefit from dental implants to replace their teeth.
Advantages- Predictable long term success (better than 97% for 15 years)
- No risk of cavities or Root Canal Treatment
- Implants stimulate bone and maintain its dimensions by preventing bone loss often associated with loss of a tooth
- As the adjacent teeth are left untouched, it is a more conservative approach to replace missing teeth
- It has a much better and longer success rate than a conventional bridge, cast partial denture or complete dentures used to replace missing teeth
We at Dr. Turners' Speciality Dental Centre use the leading Dental Implant Systems of the world. While selecting our Dental Implant System we make sure that it is
1.ADA ® as well as FDA Certified2.Has a proven clinical track record of over 7 years

- Procera
Guided Surgery®
This is a unique concept devised by the Nobel Biocare. In this system, we obtain a CT Scan of the patient's jaw and load it on a software, and based on the amount of good bone present in the patient's mouth one can predetermine the selection of implant parameters (type, diameter and length) and position them ideally safe from the different important anatomical structures present around. All the planning is done on the software; from determining the number of implants to be placed, to the length and diameter of the implant and the exact position in the jaw. Based on this, a stent is prefabricated using the CAD/CAM Technology from Sweden and shipped to our office. Using this stent we place the selected implants into their preplanned ideal positions. As we know the positions of the Implants we are going to place in the mouth before hand, we can also prefabricate the prosthesis, so that the patient can use his new set of teeth almost immediately.
- Nobel's
"Teeth-in-an-Hour" ®
The Nobel's "Teeth-in-an-Hour" uses the same concept of Guided Surgery and provides the patient with the final prosthesis on the same day of the surgery - so the patient literally gets his New Set of Teeth in an Hour's Time!
- The All-on-Four®
The All-on-Four is a concept in which, as the name suggests, one can fabricate the whole arch's prosthesis supported only on Four Implants! The placement of these Implants is strategically so planned and placed that they are well spread, avoid the important anatomical landmarks, and have the capacity to bear the masticatory load (chewing pressure) of the entire arch.
