Dental Sealants
Thin protective coatings applied to molars to shield them from decay-causing bacteria and food.
Schedule This ServiceAbout This Treatment
Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities most often start. The sealant bonds into the grooves of the tooth, creating a smooth surface that's easier to clean and far more resistant to decay. Quick and painless, sealants are one of the most effective ways to prevent cavities in children and adults alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should get dental sealants?
Sealants are especially recommended for children and teens as their molars come in, but adults without decay or fillings in their molars can benefit too.
How long do dental sealants last?
Sealants typically last 5–10 years with normal wear and are checked at routine visits to see if they need reapplication.
