Dental Sealants Indianapolis, Greenwood & Shelbyville, IN  

Protecting your teeth from decay is an essential part of maintaining a healthy smile. At Indy Dental Health, our dentists and team offer dental sealants as a simple and effective way to prevent cavities, especially in children and teens. This preventive treatment can also benefit adults with deep grooves in their teeth.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, particularly the molars and premolars. These teeth often have deep grooves and fissures that can trap food particles and bacteria, making them more susceptible to cavities. Sealants create a smooth surface, sealing out debris and bacteria while making the teeth easier to clean.

Sealants are made from a durable, tooth-colored resin that blends naturally with your teeth. Once applied, they can last several years with proper care and regular dental visits.

Benefits of Dental Sealants

• Prevents Cavities: Protects teeth from decay-causing bacteria and food particles.
• Cost-Effective Preventive Care: Helps avoid more extensive and costly dental treatments in the future.
• Quick and Painless Application: Sealants are applied in a single visit, requiring no drilling or anesthesia.
• Long-Lasting Protection: Provides effective defense against cavities for years with proper care.
• Ideal for All Ages: Beneficial for children, teens, and adults with cavity-prone teeth.

How Are Sealants Applied?

1. The tooth is cleaned thoroughly to remove plaque and debris.
2. A special gel is applied to the surface to prepare the tooth for the sealant.
3. The sealant material is painted onto the tooth and hardened using a curing light.

This painless procedure takes only a few minutes per tooth and provides immediate protection.
