Dental Sealants at Our Office

The chewing (occlusal) surfaces of the permanent back teeth (the molars and premolars) have deep fissures, where brushing is difficult and wastes accumultaion leads to decay. Dental sealants are plastic coatings placed on the permanent back teeth, so as to reduce the teeth fissures and decay.

In a dental sealant procedure, we:

  • thoroughly clean the tooth surface with a paste and rotating brush;
  • wash the tooth with water
  • dry the tooth
  • roughen the surface by placing an acidic solution on the fissured area
  • dry the tooth again
  • place a two-component liquid dental sealant material on the tooth
  • allow the sealant to harden by two-component reaction (or by using a light).
  • Before dental sealantBefore dental sealant --->>> After dental sealantAfter dental sealant
