An Extra Layer of Defense
What Are Dental Sealants?
In a dental sealant procedure, a clear resin substance is applied to the bite surfaces of your molars and then cured, creating a semi-permanent shield over the crevices where food particles tend to get stuck. This sealant provides a powerful line of defense against tooth decay, helping prevent cavities down the road.

Dental Sealant Preparation and Procedure
In mere minutes, Dr. Hill can place the durable protective layer. The procedure is fast and pain-free. So, there is nothing to fear. Tooth sealants are much like transparent fillings. First, your dentist will perform a dental exam. If we find small amounts of decay, it will be removed gently. Next, the treated tooth will be cleaned and dried. Then an etching solution is applied to the surface so the plastic resin will adhere better. After another rinse and drying, the liquid material is painted on the pits and fissures. Once in place, Dr. Hill hardens the sealant with a curing lamp. That is all it takes to achieve up to ten years of cavity-fighting protection.
Lasting Protection
Dental Sealants Recovery, Results, and Aftercare
Dental sealants are easy to apply and require no special aftercare. Because the sealant material is clear, it will not be visible. The material can stay on your teeth for up to ten years, offering a crucial layer of extra protection.
Maintaining your dental sealant results
Dental sealants help fend off food particles that can lead to decay. However, they do not replace regular brushing, flossing, or dental visits. We love establishing long-term relationships with our patients and will work with you to support your lasting oral health.
Dental Sealant Frequently Asked Questions
Sealants can stay intact on the tooth for up to a decade.
Dental sealants are considered a preventative treatment and may be fully or partially covered by your dental insurance. Check your plan for details.
Dental sealants assist in preventing cavities by providing an extra layer of protection on top of the enamel. Like dental fillings fillings, the dental sealant bonds to the tooth for long-lasting reinforcement. Fillings, on the other hand, are used to fill in areas of damage caused by tooth decay, including areas on the inside of the tooth that have been eaten away, thus “filling” in the gap in hard tissue.
