Sealants

Even with diligent brushing and flossing. deep grooves in your teeth can spell trouble for your oral hygiene. These grooves, especially common on your molars and premolars, trap food particles and bacteria, leaving your teeth vulnerable to decay. There are steps you can take to protect your teeth from this common decay source, the most common being dental sealants.

Who Benefits from Sealants?

Sealants are a quick, non-invasive procedure that helps to safeguard your smile for years to come. Anyone with deep grooves in their teeth benefits from sealants, whether you're an adult or someone in the cavity-prone years between ages 6 and 16. 

What is the Sealants Application Process?

The dental sealants process is a quick and simple dental procedure, only taking your trusted dentist or dental hygienist a couple of minutes per tooth.

  • Thorough Teeth Cleaning: First, your dentist will conduct a deep cleaning on your teeth, ensuring there is no plaque, food particles, or debris left around the area where the dental sealant would go. 
  • Surface Preparation: Your dentist will then apply a special gel to the surface of your teeth to roughen the tooth surface to ensure a strong bond. 
  • Sealant Application: After rinsing and drying your teeth, your dentist will then carefully paint liquid sealant material onto the grooves of each tooth, focusing on the chewing surface.
  • Curing: To cure the sealant, a special blue light will be used to transform the liquid into a durable shield bonded directly to your tooth. 

After your sealants have been applied and cured, you can return to eating and drinking like usual. During future regular checkups, your dentist will continuously check in on the state of your sealants so they remain in good condition.
