Dental Sealants in Pleasant Grove, UT

A quick, painless protective coating that shields the grooves of back teeth where cavities most often start.

What are dental sealants?

Dental sealants are a thin protective coating we paint onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Those molars have deep grooves that trap food and are tough to clean, which is where many cavities begin. Sealants smooth over the grooves so plaque can't settle in.

They're especially valuable for kids and teens, but adults without fillings in their molars can benefit too.

How sealants protect teeth

The deep pits and grooves of molars are nearly impossible to clean perfectly, even with good brushing. A sealant fills and smooths those surfaces, dramatically reducing the risk of decay in the spots most prone to it.

Applying a sealant is quick and completely painless, with no drilling or numbing required.

Quick and painless

We clean the tooth, apply the sealant, and harden it with a curing light, all in just a few minutes per tooth. Your child can eat and drink normally right afterward.

We check sealants at regular visits and can reapply them if they wear over time.
