Dental Sealants
provide an extra layer of protection against cavities, especially for the hard-to-reach areas of your molars and premolars. These thin, plastic coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay most often starts. To learn more, book an appointment with our dentists in Greater Seattle, WA.
Ideal for Children and Adults
While dental sealants are commonly associated with children’s dental care, they are equally beneficial for adults. Kids and teens often benefit from sealants as soon as their permanent molars and premolars come in, providing protection during the cavity-prone years.
Adults with healthy teeth and no fillings or decay can also benefit from the dental sealant procedure. Our team will assess your needs and recommend sealants if they can help protect your teeth from future cavities.
Quick and Painless Application
The process of applying is quick, painless, and non-invasive. During your visit, our skilled dental professionals will clean and dry your teeth before applying a special gel to help the sealant bond to the tooth surface.
Once the gel is rinsed off, the sealant is painted onto the tooth enamel and hardened with a special light. The entire process takes just a few minutes per tooth, providing immediate protection without any discomfort.
Long-Lasting Protection
Dental sealant treatment can last for many years with proper care. Regular dental check-ups allow our team to monitor the condition of your sealants and reapply them if necessary. Sealants can withstand the pressure of normal chewing and biting, ensuring your teeth remain protected over the long term.
This simple preventive measure can save you from the inconvenience and cost of future dental treatments.
