Dental sealants are a thin, plastic-like coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the teeth to protect them from decay. They are particularly effective in preventing cavities on the back teeth, which are more susceptible to decay due to their deep grooves and fissures. At Dental Elements, we offer comprehensive dental sealant services in Denver, Colorado, providing a proactive approach to safeguarding your smile and preventing costly dental problems down the road.
Dental sealants offer a multitude of benefits, including:
Prevents Cavities: Dental sealants act as a barrier, preventing plaque and bacteria from accumulating in the grooves and fissures of the teeth, thereby reducing the risk of cavities.
Protects Enamel: Dental sealants strengthen the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid erosion and decay.
Easy Application: Dental sealant application is a quick, painless procedure that can be performed in a single dental visit.
Long-lasting Protection: Dental sealants can last for several years, providing durable protection against decay.
Dental sealants are particularly beneficial for children and adolescents, as their teeth are still developing and more susceptible to decay. However, adults can also benefit from dental sealants, especially those with a history of cavities or deep grooves and fissures in their teeth.
Our team of experienced dental professionals at Dental Elements will carefully assess your oral health to determine if dental sealants are right for you. During the application process, we will:
Clean and Dry the Teeth: The teeth will be thoroughly cleaned and dried to ensure optimal adhesion of the sealant.
Apply the Sealant: A thin layer of dental sealant will be carefully applied to the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
Light Cure the Sealant: A special light will be used to harden the sealant, ensuring a durable and long-lasting protective layer.
Proper oral hygiene is essential for maintaining the effectiveness of dental sealants. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental checkups will help ensure that your dental sealants continue to provide optimal protection against decay.
