Protect your smile with one of the simplest and most effective preventive treatments we offer—dental sealants.
Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. These teeth have natural pits and grooves that are prone to trapping food and bacteria, making them more likely to develop cavities. Sealants create a smooth surface that helps block out decay and makes brushing more effective.
Cavity protection: Sealants can dramatically reduce the risk of tooth decay.
Fast and painless: The application is quick, comfortable, and requires no numbing or drilling.
Long-lasting defense: With proper care, sealants can protect teeth for several years.
Great for kids and adults: Ideal for children as soon as their permanent molars come in, but also a smart choice for adults with healthy, cavity-free teeth.
How Sealants Are Applied
The teeth are first cleaned thoroughly to remove any plaque or food particles.
A gentle solution is then brushed on to help the sealant bond securely.
The sealant material is carefully painted into the grooves of the teeth and hardened with a special light.
Once finished, the teeth are protected and ready to go.
Children benefit most when sealants are placed as soon as their permanent molars erupt, usually around ages six and twelve. Adults can also take advantage of sealants if they have deep grooves but no cavities or fillings in those areas.
Preventive care is the foundation of lifelong oral health, and sealants are a simple way to give your teeth an extra layer of protection. At Advanced Dental Care & Aesthetics, we make the process easy, comfortable, and effective.
