Dental Sealants in New York
A protective shield against cavities
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars) where cavities most often form. They act as a barrier, sealing out food particles and bacteria from the deep grooves of your teeth.
The process
Applying sealants is quick and painless — no drilling required. The tooth is cleaned, a bonding solution is applied, and the sealant material is painted on and hardened with a curing light. The entire process takes just minutes per tooth.
Long-lasting protection
Sealants can protect teeth for up to 10 years with proper care. They are most commonly recommended for children and teenagers, but adults without decay or fillings in their molars can benefit as well.
