Sealants
Sealants are thin, plastic-like coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. These grooves and fissures are vulnerable to trapping food and bacteria, leading to cavities. Sealants create a protective barrier, preventing decay and promoting long-term oral health.
Experience Excellence at West Cobb Dental Studio!
Our gentle and efficient process begins with a professional cleaning of the tooth’s surface to ensure a clean application. The sealant material is painted directly onto the grooves and hardened with a special light. This procedure is completely non-invasive and takes only a few minutes per tooth, making it ideal for children and adults.
What are sealants made of?
They’re typically made of a durable resin that adheres to the enamel.
At what age should children get sealants?
Around ages 6–12, when molars first erupt, is the ideal time.
How effective are sealants?
Sealants can reduce cavity risk by up to 80% in molars.
Are sealants visible?
They’re usually clear or white and blend naturally with teeth.
Do sealants hurt to apply?
No, the application process is completely painless.
