Sealants act as a protective barrier, covering the chewing surfaces of molars to block out food particles and bacteria that could lead to cavities. Our experienced dentist and team recommend sealants for children, teens and adults looking to maintain a healthy smile and prevent future dental issues.

What Makes Dental Sealants Effective?

Molars have deep grooves and pits that make them difficult to clean thoroughly, even with regular brushing and flossing. Sealants fill these grooves, creating a smooth surface that makes it easier to keep teeth clean and free from decay. While sealants are often applied to children’s newly erupted permanent molars, they are just as beneficial for adults with cavity-prone teeth.

 

How We Apply Dental Sealants

  1. Thorough Cleaning: We start by cleaning the tooth to remove any plaque or debris.
  2. Application of the Sealant: The sealant is carefully painted onto the surface of the molar, bonding with the enamel.
  3. Hardening Process: A special light may be used to quickly harden the sealant, forming a durable protective layer.
  4. Final Check: Dr. Quang Luong will ensure the sealant is properly applied and that the bite feels comfortable.

This quick and painless procedure provides long-lasting protection and peace of mind, helping prevent cavities from forming in hard-to-reach areas.

Why Choose Dental Sealants?

  • Prevents Tooth Decay: Keeps harmful bacteria and food particles out of the molars’ grooves.
