How are dental sealants placed?

A quick and easy process that doesn’t require any drilling or anesthesia, our dentist will first ensure that your teeth are clean and dry before applying the sealant material with a brush or small applicator. The plastic seal will then quickly form a shield over the tooth’s enamel, which has the ability to last for several years with diligent daily care.

What are the benefits of dental sealants?

Dental sealants provide long-term protection against cavities and decay. They also make brushing and flossing more effective by creating a barrier between your teeth and bacteria. In addition, sealants can help reduce the amount of time and money spent on costly treatments for removing dental decay.

Who is a candidate for dental sealants?

Sealants are most effective when applied to children’s teeth, as this can help protect them from developing cavities in the future. However, adults who have not had cavities previously—and those with deep grooves in their molars—can also benefit from sealants.
