Both sit on the same street but list different services.
Prairie Ave holds four dental listings. Checkups, cleanings and routine care for Port Coquitlam patients are available at the office of Dr. Yoon-Jai Choi on Prairie Avenue. Nicola Ave has two listings, including Horizon Dental Centre.
- Ask about the specific services each Shaughnessy St clinic provides.
- Check whether the Prairie Ave office handles restorative work or only hygiene.

Hygiene versus general dentistry
A dental hygiene practice and a general dentistry office serve different needs. Pick a hygiene practice when you only require routine cleanings and preventive oral care. Pick a general dentistry office when you need fillings, restorative care or exams.
The difference in kind determines which one fits your appointment. Diamond Dental Hygiene does not list restorative services. Horizon Dental Centre lists checkups, cleanings, fillings and restorative care.
- Ask if the clinic is a hygiene practice or a general dentistry office.
- Check whether fillings and restorative care are part of the service list.
- Bring your dental records if you are switching from a hygiene practice to a general office.
Five dental practices are listed on Shaughnessy St, and this street has the most options for comparing services in person.
Family and preventive care
Some Port Coquitlam dentists specify family care in their listings. Poco Comfort Dentistry focuses on preventive and family care at its Shaughnessy Street location. Offering checkups, cleanings and restorative care, The Grove Dentistry is a family dental practice on Cambridge Street in Lincoln. Both list family services alongside standard treatments.
Other clinics list general or preventive care without specifying family services. The wording in the listing shows what each office includes in its practice.
- Ask if the office treats children and adults together.
- Check whether the listing specifies family care or only general care.
- Compare the preventive services offered by the Lincoln family practices.
Restorative services
Not every dentist in Port Coquitlam lists restorative care. Sani-Dent offers routine exams, cleanings and restorative care on Shaughnessy Street. In the Glenwood area, Fremont Village Dental provides routine exams, cleanings and restorative care on Village Drive. Both include restorative work in their listings.
Other offices list only hygiene visits or routine exams. The exact words in the listing tell you what each clinic does. Glenwood holds two dental listings in the directory, and Fremont Village Dental is one of them.
The 20 dentists in the Port Coquitlam directory span three areas and multiple streets. Lincoln holds 11 of them, Central holds six and Glenwood holds two. You can match your need for hygiene, family care or restorative work to the exact services each office provides.
