The dentists at Innovation Dental can give your teeth an extra layer of protection with our dental sealant service. Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars and premolars. They create a barrier against bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities and decay.
Dental sealants are especially beneficial for children and teenagers, as well as adults who are prone to cavities. They complement regular brushing and flossing, offering an extra defense against dental issues. We are happy to schedule an appointment at our Wauwatosa, WI office for this enhanced benefit towards a healthy smile.
Sealants are completely clear, so they are practically unnoticeable once they have been placed. The sealants themselves can last for up to three years before they can simply be replaced. Sealants can prevent the need for fillings, root canals and complete extractions by protecting the teeth.
Most often, our doctors recommend sealants to patients who are susceptible to tooth decay. Many of our pediatric patients benefit from sealants because the protective layer prevents cavities and the need for subsequent fillings. Even adult patients who are prone to developing tooth decay will benefit from sealants.
Because sealants are clear and last for long periods of time, they’re a viable option for people wanting to protect and preserve their teeth.
If you are susceptible to tooth decay or have a child who doesn’t necessarily practice the best oral hygiene, it is time to consider sealants. With the help of an exam and consultation with us here at Innovation Dental, we can help in determining if you’ll benefit from sealants.
The sealant procedure itself is quick and requires absolutely no local anesthetic. Most sealants last for anywhere from one to three years and can be easily replaced once they have worn away.
