Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to shield deep grooves from bacteria, food particles, and plaque that commonly cause cavities in hard-to-clean areas of teeth.
The tooth surface is cleaned and prepared, then liquid sealant material flows into grooves and is hardened using a curing light, forming a durable protective barrier that bonds directly to the enamel surface.
Sealants significantly reduce cavity risk, protect vulnerable teeth, support long-term enamel health, minimize future restorative needs, and provide an effective preventive solution especially beneficial for children, teens, and patients prone to tooth decay.
Sealants
Protect cavity-prone teeth with quick, long-lasting dental sealants.
Children, teens, and cavity-prone adults may consider dental sealants. Ideal for patients with deep grooves in molars, sealants help prevent decay by protecting hard-to-clean areas from bacteria and food buildup
The experience is quick and easy. Teeth are cleaned, sealant is applied, and hardened within minutes. There’s no drilling or discomfort, making it ideal for children and adults alike.
Sealants are applied in a single visit and usually take just a few minutes per tooth. The process is quick, painless, and requires no recovery time.
Sealants may feel slightly different at first but adjust quickly. They require routine monitoring and may need replacement over time as they wear.
