Sealants
Sealants are a quick, preventive option that help protect molars with natural grooves and pits. They’re especially helpful for children and teens, though adults with deep grooves may benefit as well. The goal is simple: reduce the risk of decay in areas that are naturally harder to clean.
Why it is
Sealants involve:
- A thin protective coating
- Placement on the chewing surfaces of back teeth
- A barrier that helps keep bacteria out of deep grooves
What happens during a appointment
The process is comfortable and fast. Once the tooth is cleaned and prepared, the sealant is applied and cured within seconds. We check the bite before you leave to ensure everything feels natural.
