Dental Sealants in Prairie Village, KS

What are teeth sealants?

Usually applied to the molars and other frequently decayed areas, tooth sealants protect the enamel of your teeth from damage and thus reduce the risk of cavities – a great investment for most families.

Dental sealnts are highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, and are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic “coating” is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively “seals” the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids.

Sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can’t reach.

Easy to apply, sealants take only a few minutes to seal each tooth and no anesthetic is required. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed.

Children and adults can benefit from sealants in the fight against tooth decay.
