Dental Sealants

At iSmile Dentistry, we understand the importance of preventive dental care. One of the preventive treatments our experienced dentists may recommend to protect your teeth from decay is dental sealants. Dental sealants are a simple yet effective way to block out plaque and food debris, preventing cavities and maintaining a healthy smile. Whether you’re a child or an adult with deep grooves in your teeth, our team is here to provide you with the best dental care possible.

While dental sealants are commonly provided to children, they can also be beneficial for adults who have deep ridges in the chewing surfaces of their teeth. If you experience difficulty when flossing and brushing due to these deep ridges, we encourage you to proactively discuss your concerns with our dental professionals. Our team will carefully evaluate your dental health and recommend the appropriate preventive treatments, including dental sealants, during your routine dental cleaning appointment.

A dental sealant is a protective coating made of a clear or tooth-colored resin material. It is applied to the chewing surface of your teeth, forming a shield against decay. By blocking out harmful bacteria and food debris, dental sealants prevent the formation of cavities and maintain the overall health of your teeth.

In addition to their protective function, dental sealants also provide a smooth coating over the natural pits and grooves of your tooth surface. This makes it easier to clean your teeth effectively through routine brushing, ensuring that you can maintain optimal oral hygiene.

Dental sealants are often recommended for children, particularly when their permanent molars erupt, typically between the ages of 6 and 12 years. However, they can also be a valuable preventive treatment for adult patients. If your teeth are prone to decay or if they have not been restored or have suffered from decay in the past, dental sealants may be recommended to help safeguard your oral health.

At iSmile Dentistry, we understand that your time is valuable. That’s why we have designed the dental sealant application process to be quick and comfortable. Our skilled dental professionals can apply dental sealants in just one short visit to our practice, ensuring that you can easily incorporate this preventive measure into your busy schedule.

Sealants can be a powerful tool in preventing decay and maintaining a healthy smile.
