Service Overview
A small coating, a useful layer of prevention.
Sealants are a cavity prevention treatment for deep grooves in back teeth. The coating fills pits and fissures so plaque and food have fewer places to hide.
Sealants are especially helpful when molars have natural grooves that toothbrush bristles cannot fully clean.
How they work
A thin coating bonds to the tooth and makes grooves smoother and easier to clean.
Who benefits
Children, teens, and cavity prone adults with deep grooves may benefit from sealants.
