Painless, fast, and highly effective. Shield vulnerable teeth from cavity-causing bacteria at our state-of-the-art clinic on York Road.
Even with perfect brushing, the deep grooves in your back teeth (molars) are hard to keep completely clean. Sealants act as an invisible raincoat, keeping food and plaque out of those vulnerable areas.
By sealing off the deep grooves of the molars, we stop up to 80% of cavities from ever forming in those vulnerable areas.
The entire process takes just a few minutes per tooth. There is absolutely no drilling, no numbing, and zero discomfort.
Investing in inexpensive sealants now saves you from the future costs and discomfort of fillings, crowns, or root canals.
Highly recommended for children as their permanent molars come in, but also excellent for cavity-prone adults.
Our Lutherville-Timonium hygienist thoroughly cleans the tooth being sealed to ensure no food or bacteria are trapped underneath.
A mild acidic gel is briefly applied to slightly roughen the tooth surface, which helps the sealant form a strong, lasting microscopic bond.
The tooth is rinsed and dried. We then paint a thin layer of protective liquid resin directly onto the chewing surface of the tooth.
A special blue curing light is used to harden the resin in seconds. You can return to eating normally right after the appointment!
According to the CDC, school-age children without sealants have almost three times more cavities than children with sealants. It's a simple, affordable step for long-term health.
Prevention is the best medicine. Contact our team in Lutherville-Timonium at 2080 York Road, Suite 255 to schedule your family's next cleaning and sealant application.
