Dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic “coating” is painted onto the surface of your chewing tooth.   This effectively “seals” the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids.  Sealants are your single best choice to prevent decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth.  Children and adults can both benefit from sealants in the fight against tooth decay.

Sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing doesn’t reach.

Easy to apply, sealants take only a few minutes to seal each tooth.  Dental sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed.
