Preventive Care
Dental sealants act as a formidable defense against cavities, especially in molars and premolars where decay is most prevalent. At Pure Dentistry Arts, we expertly apply these ultrathin plastic layers to establish a seamless barrier that inhibits the accumulation of food particles and bacteria in the intricate grooves of your back teeth.
Protect Your Teeth from Decay
These coatings can diminish the likelihood of cavities by as much as 80% in the treated areas. Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and adolescents, as their newly emerged permanent molars are highly susceptible to decay. Adults with pronounced grooves in their teeth also gain substantial protection from this preventive intervention. To ensure comprehensive oral health, regular dental exams are essential for monitoring the effectiveness of sealants and overall dental condition.
- Durable coverage for up to a decade when maintained properly.
- Painless procedure that requires no drilling or anesthetics.
- Available in clear or tooth-colored options to preserve the natural appearance of your teeth.
Fast and Easy Sealant Application
We start the process with a meticulous cleaning of the tooth’s surface, followed by an application of a special etching solution. The liquid sealant is then allowed to fill the crevices of the tooth, solidifying under a curing light in a matter of seconds. This simple procedure usually takes just a few minutes per tooth, enabling patients to resume normal eating right away. Regular dental evaluations help ensure that the sealants remain effective and intact over time.

Common Questions Regarding Dental Sealants
What are the costs for dental sealants?
The expense associated with dental sealants can vary based on the number of teeth treated, typically offering an affordable price per tooth. Many insurance policies cover sealants for children, making this preventive measure economically viable.
How do I receive dental sealants?
The process involves cleaning the targeted tooth, applying an etching solution, rinsing and drying the area, and finally painting on the sealant, which hardens quickly under a specialized light.
Are dental sealants more effective than fluoride treatments for preventing cavities?
While dental sealants and fluoride treatments function differently, they complement one another effectively. Sealants create a physical barrier on the chewing surfaces, while fluoride fortifies enamel throughout the mouth, offering comprehensive cavity prevention.
