Safeguard your smile with the protective shield of dental sealants at Smile Story Dental Centre. In our continuous effort to provide comprehensive and preventive dental care, we are pleased to offer dental sealants as a simple yet highly effective treatment to prevent cavities and protect your teeth from decay. Ideal for patients of all ages, dental sealants act as a barrier, covering the hard-to-clean grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where most cavities form.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are a preventive dental treatment involving the application of a thin, plastic coating to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth - the molars and premolars. This coating quickly bonds into the depressions and grooves of the teeth, forming a protective layer over the enamel of each tooth. Sealants are clear or shaded to blend in, making them virtually invisible while offering robust protection against cavities.

Ideal Candidates for Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are particularly beneficial for:

• Children and teenagers, as they are in the most cavity-prone years of 6 to 14.

• Adults with no decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.

• Patients seeking a preventive measure to aid in maintaining optimal dental health.

Benefits of Dental Sealants

Choosing dental sealants at Smile Story Dental Centre provides several advantages:

• Effective Cavity Prevention: Sealants are highly effective in preventing decay in the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where most cavities occur.

• Long-lasting Protection: With proper care, dental sealants can protect against cavities for up to 10 years before they need to be reapplied.

• Cost-Effective: By preventing cavities, sealants save money on dental treatments in the long run.

• Non-Invasive Procedure: The application of sealants is a simple, painless process that requires no drilling or removal of tooth structure.

The Dental Sealants Process

Our dental sealant process is straightforward, painless, and quick:

• Cleaning: The teeth designated for sealants are thoroughly cleaned.

• Preparation: Each tooth is then dried, and an acidic solution is applied to the chewing surfaces to roughen them up, helping the sealant bond to the teeth.

• Rinsing and Drying: The solution is rinsed off, and the teeth are dried again.

• Application: The sealant is applied to the tooth's surface, where it bonds directly to the enamel and hardens. Sometimes, a curing light is used to help the sealant harden.
