Dental sealants are a valuable protective solution for maintaining oral health. These thin coatings, composed of plastic or other dental materials, effortlessly adhere to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. While suitable for patients of all ages, they are particularly beneficial for children. During a routine dental cleaning and exam, this quick treatment can be easily incorporated.

The solution that enhances the adherence of the sealing material will be applied to the surface of your tooth.
Now, it's time for the sealant! We will painlessly paint it onto the tooth and utilize a specialized curing light as necessary.
School-age children, adults who are prone to cavities, and anyone who wants added protection against decay.
Our dental sealants are a clear material, which blends with your natural tooth color. Let our secret material keep your pearly whites shining bright!
Typically, children should get sealants on their permanent molars and premolars as soon as these teeth come in. In this way, the dental sealants can protect the teeth through the cavity-prone years of ages 6 to 14. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
NO! A dental sealant protects your teeth in conjunction with your normal hygiene routine.
Sealants help prevent cavities, not fix them! Opting for sealants is a proactive way to keep teeth cavity-free, ensuring superior strength compared to teeth with fillings or decay.

Dental sealants provide remarkable defense, preventing 80% of cavities for 2 years and 50% for 4 years.
With proper care, sealants can endure in the mouth for up to 9 years and can be conveniently replaced when necessary.
Children who receive sealants experience significantly fewer cavities compared to those without. In fact, school-age kids without sealants are three times more prone to cavities.
