Cleaning
We thoroughly clean the teeth to prepare the enamel for sealant application.
A simple, non-invasive preventive treatment that helps protect molars and premolars from cavities and tooth decay.
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. These teeth often have deep grooves that can trap food and plaque, making them more vulnerable to decay. Sealants create a protective barrier over the enamel to help reduce cavity risk.
Sealants cover the grooves of chewing teeth where cavities commonly begin.
The application is non-invasive and can often be completed in one visit.
Children commonly benefit from sealants, but adults with healthy molars may benefit too.
