Dental Sealants for Long-Term Cavity Prevention

Our dental sealant helps protect the surface of your teeth from plaque, bacteria, and acids that cause tooth decay. We often recommend it to people who must guard their molars and premolars. Contact us today to schedule an appointment to see if dental sealants are your best solution.

Dental Sealants: Cost-Effective, Long-Lasting Solution for Healthy Teeth

For anyone unfamiliar with dental sealants, we’re happy to tell you more about this dental treatment. We place a thin coating of resin material atop the chewing surface of your teeth. Our team does this to protect your teeth from plaque, bacteria, acids, and food debris. All of these things contribute to tooth decay, which could lead to us having to do fillings. Here are some other benefits of our dental sealants:

Preventative: Our dental sealants help protect your teeth from tooth decay and cavities.
Cost-Effective: Our sealant process costs less than filling cavities, crowns, and other procedures.
Long-Lasting: Sealants can last several years, making them a wise investment for protecting your teeth.
Quick & Painless: We clean your tooth, apply an etching solution, and brush the sealant onto the tooth.
Children & Teens: If you have kids, they’ll probably have decay in their back teeth and need our dental sealants. Let us help you get an early start on your children’s preventative dentistry.
Easy Brushing: Our sealant treatment also forms a smooth surface on your teeth for improved cleaning and flossing.

We make getting dental sealants easy and pain-free. If you’re concerned about the health of your teeth, contact us to schedule an appointment. Dr. Alberto Herrero and our friendly and helpful staff will thoroughly examine you. If you need dental sealants, our team can do the process in one visit. Contact us today to get the process going.

Discover if You Are a Candidate for Dental Sealants with AH Dentistry

While our dental sealants are an excellent preventative treatment, this procedure isn’t for everyone. In some cases, we can’t apply our sealants due to the condition of a patient’s teeth. In other cases, some of our patients can’t have this service at all. We share this information with you because it’s essential to be transparent with everyone. Here are some of the things that affect your ability to get our dental sealants:

Tooth Decay & cavities: If your tooth is already decayed, our sealant won’t stop this process. We would need to treat the decay with a filling.
Large Fillings & Restorations: Our experience teaches us that these procedures already cover the pits and grooves where we would apply the sealant.
Shallow Grooves: If your teeth have shallow grooves and pits, our sealants won’t bond well or
Allergies: While we know this is rare, some people have allergic reactions to the resins we use in sealants.
Poor Oral Hygiene: We tell everyone that dental sealants work only with clean teeth. If your teeth are in poor condition, we treat them before applying dental sealants.

Even if you’re not the best candidate for dental sealants, we have options to treat your teeth. At AH Dentistry, we offer a variety of solutions to repair damaged teeth and prevent further issues. For example, we offer professional dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar and restore your teeth to their natural beauty. We invite you to learn more about our general and family dentistry services.
