Who Should Get Dental Sealants?
- Children & Teens: Sealants are especially beneficial for young patients as they are more prone to cavities in their molars and premolars.
- Adults: Adults who are at higher risk for tooth decay can also benefit from sealants, especially if their back teeth have deep grooves.
The Sealant Application Process
Cleaning
We start by thoroughly cleaning and drying the teeth to ensure a strong bond.
Preparation
The surface of the tooth is then prepared with a special gel to help the sealant adhere properly.
Application
The liquid sealant is painted onto the tooth’s chewing surface, where it flows into the grooves and pits.
Final Touches
Once your treatments are complete, we review the results with you and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your satisfaction.
