Say Goodbye to Cavities with Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a thin, protective layer made from materials like plastic, applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars. This treatment is suitable for patients of all ages, but it is particularly beneficial for children. The procedure is simple and can easily be completed during your routine dental cleaning and check-up.
Protects Your Teeth from Cavities
Studies show that dental sealants can lower the risk of cavities by up to 80% within two years and by 50% over the course of four years.
Long-lasting Protection
With proper care, dental sealants can last up to nine years and can be easily replaced if necessary.
Perfect for kids!
Children who don't have sealants on their teeth are three times more likely to develop cavities compared to those who do.
Quick, painless, and effortless application process
The thin liquid coating is applied to the teeth and hardens in about a minute. It's a quick and simple process!
Who is eligible for dental sealants?
- School-age children
- Adults at risk for cavities
- Anyone looking for extra protection against tooth decay
What to expect during dental sealant treatment?
A sealant is like a small plastic filling, and numbing is typically not required because tooth enamel doesn't contain nerves.
- First, we will thoroughly examine the tooth or teeth to ensure there is no existing decay.
- Next, we will apply a solution that helps the sealant bond securely to the tooth surface.
- Finally, we will carefully apply the sealant and, if needed, use a special curing light to harden it. It’s that easy!
