Protect Your Smile with Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a thin protective coating, typically made from plastic or other dental materials, that are applied to the chewing surface of your back teeth. This treatment is suitable for patients of all ages, but is especially popular among children. You can easily have dental sealants applied during your regular dental cleaning and exam. If you're interested in learning more about dental sealants and would like to include them in your next appointment, please let us know.
Helps to avoid cavities and tooth decay
Research has found that dental sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by 80% over 2 years and by 50% over 4 years.
Durable Protection for Chewing Surfaces
Sealants can be easily replaced and can last up to 9 years with proper care. The thin, liquid coating material is specifically designed to endure the daily wear and tear of chewing, offering lasting defense against cavities.
Great for kids!
Children who receive sealants on their teeth are three times less likely to experience cavities than those without sealants. By protecting baby teeth with sealants, decay can be prevented and their overall health can be maintained, ensuring there is enough space for permanent teeth to grow in properly.
Quick, painless, and user-friendly app
Using the liquid form of the thin coating is as easy as painting, and it hardens in about one minute. It's really that simple! A sealant is like a small plastic filling, and usually, numbing is not necessary since tooth enamel does not have nerves.
Who is eligible for dental sealants?
- School-aged children
- Children and teenagers with newly erupted permanent molars
- Adults prone to cavitiesIndividual
- s looking for added protection against decay
What occurs during the dental sealant procedure at our office?
Sealants are a dental treatment similar to small plastic fillings. Unlike regular fillings, sealants do not require numbing because tooth enamel does not have nerves.
To begin, we will assess the tooth or teeth needing sealants and remove any decay if present. Then, we will apply a solution to improve the bonding of the sealant material to the tooth surface. Finally, we will carefully apply the sealant and use a curing light if needed. And that's all there is to it!
