Prevent tooth decay in molars and premolars

Shield grooves and fissures in teeth where food and bacteria can hide

Protect children’s teeth during cavity-prone years

Offer adults with no decay or fillings a preventive measure

Enhance overall dental hygiene and health

FAQs About Dental Sealants

Dental sealants can effectively protect teeth for up to 10 years, though we recommend periodic checks to monitor their condition.

While typically applied to children and teenagers, adults without fillings or decay can also benefit from dental sealants.

Their primary purpose is to prevent decay, but they also smooth out the surfaces of teeth, making them easier to clean.

No special maintenance is required ⏤ just normal oral hygiene practices like brushing and flossing.

Coverage for dental sealants varies by plan, especially for children and teens. We can assist in determining your coverage.
