Dental Sealants Strengthen & Protect Your Teeth

A great way to protect teeth from tooth decay, dental sealants are thin, plastic coatings applied to the surface of molars and premolars to add a layer of protection against bacteria and plaque.

At Nona Dental Arts in Orlando, our team of dental experts has seen the benefits of dental sealants time and time again, and we’d love to help you protect your smile with this preventive treatment!

How are dental sealants placed?

The process begins by cleaning and drying the surface of your teeth. Our dentist will then paint the sealant onto your teeth, where it will bond and create a shield against bacteria and other materials that can lead to cavities.

What are the benefits of dental sealants?

In addition to protecting against decay, which benefits your oral health in the short and long term, sealants can last up to 10 years with diligent oral hygiene practices, meaning that your molars and premolars are more likely to remain healthy and cavity-free for life.

Who is a candidate for dental sealants?

Dental sealants are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers who are more likely to experience decay, thanks to their still-developing oral hygiene habits and tendency to consume sugary foods and drinks. They can also be beneficial for adults with deep grooves or crevices on their molars, which can often be difficult to clean.
