At Discovery Dental in Ajax, ON, dental sealants are a simple yet effective way to ensure your smile stays healthy and bright. They offer long-lasting protection against tooth decay, are painless to apply, and can save you money in the long run.
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings that safeguard your teeth, primarily your molars and premolars. These back teeth often have deep grooves and fissures that can trap food particles and bacteria, making them vulnerable to decay. Dental sealants are typically made of a safe, tooth-coloured resin that is applied to the chewing surfaces of these teeth, creating a protective barrier.
Getting dental sealants is a straightforward, painless procedure that can usually be completed in just one visit. Our dentist will clean and dry the tooth’s surface to ensure no debris or bacteria are present. A special gel is applied to the tooth to roughen the surface slightly. This helps the sealant bond securely to the tooth. The dentist will then apply the liquid sealant to the tooth’s grooves and fissures. A curing light is used to harden and set the sealant in place. You can eat, drink, and smile immediately after the procedure. No downtime, no discomfort.
