Sealants

We know how annoying cavities can be. Even if you try your hardest to keep up with excellent oral hygiene, there’s always a chance one can form. We can help you prevent this unfortunate surprise, though, with dental sealants.

What are Dental Sealants?

Think of a dental sealant as your tooth’s own personal security guard. It provides helpful protection, blocking the unwanted outside elements from meeting it.

Sealants are great for people who find themselves consistently getting cavities. They are especially useful on your back molars. Their uneven ridges can often make them difficult to clean properly.

How are Dental Sealants Applied?

Sealant application is simple, painless, and can be completed on multiple teeth in one visit. We will first clean and dry the targeted teeth. Next, we will apply an acidic gel to roughen the surface, then rinse it off.

After drying the teeth once more, the sealant is applied. Dr. Kelly will use a special blue light to harden it. The hardened sealant can last several years and can be reapplied if necessary.

What are the Benefits of Sealants?

Sealants are a great preventative able to protect your teeth from decay. Some advantages you’ll experience include:

• Long-lasting
• Saving money from cavity filling costs
• An easy application
