Protect Your Smile With Dental Sealants in Toronto

At Dental Care Group in Toronto, we proudly offer dental sealants for adults to help protect and strengthen your teeth. A dental sealant is a thin plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and pre-molars as a preventative measure against tooth decay.

How are dental sealants applied?

Dental sealants are a simple and effective procedure used to protect teeth from decay. During the dental sealants procedure, a thin, protective coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, creating a barrier against bacteria and food particles. This preventative measure helps to keep teeth healthy and reduce the risk of cavities, particularly in children and teenagers. Ask your dentist about the benefits of dental sealants for maintaining optimal oral health.

The process is quick and comfortable. Our dentist will clean the area to be treated before applying a liquid solution that allows the sealant to adhere more effectively. After applying the liquid, our dentists will paint on thin layers of plastic resin, which harden after exposure to a special curing light, creating a barrier between your teeth and the harmful bacteria that can cause decay.

What are the advantages of dental sealants?

Dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection in areas vulnerable to tooth decay caused by plaque and bacteria. They can also fill in small cracks, crevices, and pits in the teeth where it's difficult for a toothbrush to reach. Dental sealants last for several years but may need to be reapplied if they start to wear down. By helping to prevent cavities and tooth decay, dental sealants can limit the need for further dental treatments in the future.
