Sealants
What if we told you there was a way to protect yourself from tooth decay? Applying dental sealants to your teeth is an easy process that ensures a happy and healthy smile for many years.
What Are Sealants, and Why Do We Recommend Them?
Dental sealants create a barrier between the tooth and harmful bacteria, acids, and plaque. It’s a thin layer of protective material that we apply to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. These areas love to collect food particles and bacteria, and they’re also harder to keep clean. Dental sealants block out bacteria to keep your teeth safe and sound.
Who Can Get Sealants?
Sealants are especially great for kids and teenagers since they’re more likely to develop cavities in those hard-to-reach back teeth. Fortunately, grown-ups can benefit from them too! As long as you haven’t had any previous restorations, you can enjoy the advantages of sealants as an adult.
What to Expect
Getting sealants is a breeze! Our dental team will clean and dry your teeth, apply a bonding solution, and then paint on the sealant material. A quick zap of a special light will harden the sealant, and you can consider yourself protected. You can eat and brush like normal without worrying about decay or bacteria.
Dental sealants can last up to a decade with proper care and maintenance, but we’ll keep an eye on them during your regular dental check-ups to ensure they’re still in tip-top shape. They may need to be replaced if they become damaged or worn.
