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. While suitable for patients of all ages, this treatment is particularly beneficial for children. The process is quick and can easily be done during your routine dental cleaning and check-up.
Shields Your Teeth from Cavities
Studies show that dental sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by 80% within two years and by 50% over the course of four years.
Durable Protection
With proper care, sealants can last up to 9 years and can be easily replaced if necessary.
Ideal for Children!
Children without sealants are three times more likely to develop cavities compared to those who have them.
Fast, painless, and simple application process
The thin liquid coating is painted onto the teeth and hardens in about a minute—it's that easy!
Who is a good candidate for dental sealants?
- School-age children
- Adults at high risk for cavities
- Anyone looking for extra protection against tooth decay!
What can you expect during a dental sealant treatment?
A sealant is like a small plastic filling, and numbing is typically not required since tooth enamel lacks nerves.
- First, we will thoroughly examine the tooth or teeth to confirm there is no decay.
- Next, we will apply a solution to help the sealant bond securely to the tooth's surface.
- Then, we will carefully apply the sealant and use a special curing light if needed. It's that simple!
