QUICK ANSWER

What are dental sealants?

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where deep grooves trap food and bacteria. They are most often placed on the permanent molars of children and teens, though some adults benefit too. Placement is quick, involves no drilling, and your dentist will tell you whether your teeth need them.

Why Choose Dental Sealants

Why Choose Dental Sealants?

While regular brushing and flossing are essential, the intricate grooves of molars can sometimes be challenging to clean thoroughly. Our Peoria dentist recommends dental sealants as an added layer of defense, especially for younger patients with newly erupted permanent teeth. Sealants ensure that these vulnerable areas are safeguarded, reducing the risk of cavities and promoting overall oral health.

FAQ

Questions patients ask

What are dental sealants and how do they work?

A sealant is a thin coating that bonds into the grooves on the chewing surface of a tooth. It smooths out the deep pits that a toothbrush can't reach well, so food and bacteria have fewer places to cause cavities.

Does getting sealants hurt?

Sealants are painted on and hardened with a light, with no drilling and usually no numbing needed. Most patients, including children, find it comfortable. Tell us if you or your child feel nervous and we will go at your pace.

Who should get dental sealants?

They are most often recommended for children and teens when permanent molars first come in. Adults with deep grooves and no decay in those teeth can also benefit. Your dentist checks each tooth before recommending them.

How long do sealants last?

Sealants can last for years, but they can wear down or chip over time. We check them at your regular exams and can repair or replace them if needed.

Does insurance cover sealants?

Coverage varies by plan. We accept most major dental PPO insurances and our team can help you understand your benefits before treatment. Without insurance, ask us about financing and our in-office Ultra Discounts plan.
