Dental Sealants

Dental Sealants in Plano, TX

Dental sealants are highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth.  By sealing the depressions and deep grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can’t reach, they act as a barrier to protect enamel from plaque and acids.

Applying dental sealants is a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic coating is painted onto the surface of the tooth. Easy and quick to apply, dental sealants take only a few minutes per tooth. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed.
