If you are missing one or more teeth, a dental implant is probably the best route to replace them. Common dental implants from your Port Coquitlam dental office, Oxford Family Dental, include crowns and bridges.

The implant is made of titanium metal and is inserted into your jawline to replace the root of a natural tooth. The final tooth prosthetic can either be fixed or removable.

When dental implants are inserted into the jawbone, they look and act like your natural teeth, therefore they need to be taken care of with proper oral hygiene. Regular Port Coquitlam dental practice checkups are important to maintain the health of your implant.
