Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are applied to the rough, grooved chewing surfaces on our molars and premolars. This preventative measure ensures that food in the back of our mouth doesn’t get settled on the surface of these teeth. Dental Sealants are made up of a quick-hardening resin. You can eat any types of foods after getting dental sealants. When correctly applied, dental sealants should feel about the same as the natural surface of your tooth, as they are meld to the enamel in your teeth.
Dental Sealants Are An Excellent Measure Of Prevention
Everyone can benefit from dental sealants as we all get a lot of use out of our back teeth! Over a period of time, that use naturally causes the bacteria and acids in the foods we enjoy to begin causing decay in our premolars and molars.
While having a good oral health routine and getting regular exams and dental cleanings does certainly help, there are indeed some deeper depressions in the back teeth that are nearly impossible to reach. This is where dental sealants come in to offer an excellent additional layer of protection against plaque and tooth decay. We’d love to help you get your teeth better protected by using dental sealants. Please contact us today for an appointment.
Get ScheduledAm I A Candidate For Dental Sealants?
Every person with healthy teeth – including children – are candidates for dental sealants. In fact, it is very wise that children and even patients at very young ages get dental sealants to protect their back teeth. The reason for this is simple – once decay gets to a certain level on premolars and molars, sealants can no longer be applied. Therefore, we always encourage sealants as another wonderful measure of prevention. By preventing issues from occurring, you save yourself from a great deal of trouble, pain, and expense in the years ahead!
Appointment RequestKey Benefits of Dental Sealants
The key benefit of dental sealants is that they easily and inexpensively prevent tooth decay from occurring in the back teeth, which are known as the premolars and molars. By preventing decay, you prevent cavities and other potentially painful and costly issues from occurring.
“At the Dental Arts Center, we are laser-focused on prevention. Therefore, we do strongly encourage every patient with healthy teeth to get dental sealants. They are wonderful and sealing off the back teeth prevents a wide range of issues from developing.”

Is It Painful To Get Dental Sealants?
Not at all! Getting dental sealants is a pain-free procedure in which thin paste is carefully applied into the depressions on the surfaces of the back teeth. This paste is then dried to reinforce the sealant’s strength!
How Long Do Dental Sealants Last?
Dental Sealants can last up to 10 years, but it is important to have them checked at your routine dental exams to ensure that they are not chipped or worn away.
