The Application of Dental Sealants

As part of a pediatric dental program of preventive care, the dentist may recommend the application of dental sealants. These thin, plastic-like coatings painted onto the biting surfaces of the newly erupted permanent back teeth provide your child with an added level of protection through the cavity-prone years. Covering the pits, fissures and grooves in the hard to reach back teeth, dental sealants prevent decay-causing bacteria and food particles from accumulating in these vulnerable areas. Sealants may also be useful in areas of incipient dental decay to stop further damage from occurring.

The value of dental sealants is well documented. According to the American Dental Association, they reduce the risk of cavities in school-age children by approximately 80%. Furthermore, children who do not receive dental sealants develop almost three times more cavities than children who do have them.

Having a healthy smile is essential for your child’s comfort, function, self-image and overall well being. Good dental routines established in youngsters provide a strong foundation for maintaining a lifetime of optimal oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about dental implants? You’re not alone. We’ve answered some of the most common questions to help you feel informed, confident, and ready to take the next step toward your new smile.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that replace the roots of missing teeth and support crowns, bridges, or full-arch prosthetics.

What is All-on-X?

All-on-X refers to placing 4 or more implants to support a full arch of new teeth. It offers maximum support with fewer implants.

How is this different from dentures?

Unlike dentures, All-on-X implants are fixed in place. They don’t shift, fall out, or require messy adhesives — and they restore full chewing power.

Do I really get teeth in 24 hours?

Yes! We specialize in screwed-in teeth in 24 hours — meaning your implants and temporary fixed teeth are placed the same day.

Am I a candidate?

Most patients are candidates, even those told they don’t have enough bone. Our 3D scans help us determine your options during your free consultation.

How long do implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 20+ years or even a lifetime.
