Prevents Cavities
Dental sealants are a highly effective preventive measure that can significantly decrease the risk of cavities. In fact, studies have shown that dental sealants can reduce the occurrence of cavities by up to 80% for a period of 2 years, and by 50% for up to 4 years. This means that by getting dental sealants, you can greatly improve your oral health and reduce the likelihood of needing costly and invasive dental treatments in the future. So, if you want to protect your teeth and maintain a healthy smile, consider getting dental sealants as part of your regular dental care routine.
Durable Protection
Sealants have a lifespan of up to 9 years in the mouth and can be easily replaced with proper maintenance.

What to expect during a dental sealant treatment at our office.
A sealant is similar to a small plastic filling, but numbing is usually not necessary because tooth enamel does not have nerves.
- First, we examine the tooth or teeth to be sealed. If decay is present, we will remove it.
- Next, we apply a solution to enhance the adherence of the sealing material to your tooth surface.
- Then, we apply the sealant by painting it onto the tooth and use a special curing light as necessary. That's all there is to it!
