What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They fill in the deep grooves and pits where bacteria and food debris tend to collect and cause decay. Sealants are quick to apply and completely painless. They create a smooth surface that is much easier to keep clean with regular brushing.
Know the Warning Signs
Signs You May Need Dental Sealants
Some patients benefit from sealants more than others — here are six signs that it may be a good option for you.
Deep Grooves
Your back teeth have deep pits and fissures that trap food and are difficult to clean with brushing alone.
History of Cavities
You have had multiple cavities in the past, suggesting a higher susceptibility to tooth decay.
Newly Erupted Molars
Recently emerged permanent molars are at their most vulnerable and benefit most from early sealant protection.
Hard-to-Reach Surfaces
The chewing surfaces of back teeth are difficult to clean thoroughly, leaving them exposed to decay over time.
No Prior Sealants
Teeth that have never been sealed face a greater risk of decay, regardless of age or brushing habits.
Signs of Early Decay
Your dentist has noticed white spots or early demineralization that have not yet developed into full cavities.
Simple & Comfortable
Our Dental Sealants Process
Getting dental sealants in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, is fast, comfortable, and completed in a single visit.
1
Teeth Cleaning
Your teeth are cleaned and dried thoroughly to ensure the surface is ready for the sealant to bond properly.
2
Gentle Etching
A mild solution is applied to gently roughen the tooth surface so the sealant adheres securely.
3
Application
The liquid sealant is carefully painted onto the chewing surfaces of each tooth being treated.
4
Final Check
A curing light hardens the sealant in seconds, and Dr. Munguia checks your bite to confirm a comfortable fit.
