General & Preventive Care
Dental Sealants
A thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities.
Molars and premolars have deep grooves that are notoriously hard to keep clean, even with careful brushing. Dental sealants fill in those grooves with a durable, tooth-colored coating that keeps food and bacteria out.
Sealants are especially valuable for children and teenagers as their adult molars come in, but adults without decay or fillings in their molars can benefit too.
What to Expect
- A quick, painless application with no drilling or anesthesia
- A tooth-colored coating that blends with your smile
- Protection that can last several years with proper care
- A simple check at your regular cleanings to confirm sealants are intact
