Who they’re for
Sealants are most commonly placed on children’s newly erupted permanent molars — the deeply grooved back teeth that are hard to clean and most prone to cavities. They’re a simple, effective form of prevention.
A quick, comfortable visit
Application takes only a few minutes per tooth. The tooth is cleaned and dried, a thin layer of sealant is painted onto the chewing surface, and a special light hardens it. No drilling, no shots.
How long they last
Sealants typically last several years. We check them at every cleaning visit and touch them up if needed.
