Sealants are a thin, protective coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth — molars and premolars.

Sealants can protect these teeth from decay by filling in the grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces that are too deep for regular toothbrush bristles to clean.

Sealants can last for many years, but need to be checked during regular dental visits to make sure they are still intact and free of decay.

Preventing Cavities, Creating Peace-of-Mind

Manchester & Windsor, CT's Leading Dental Sealant

Our goal is for our patients to require the least amount of dental treatment possible. Children who enter adulthood with the fewest restored teeth will enjoy the lowest risk of future problems. Sealants can dramatically reduce the number of cavities a child might develop during their childhood. Deep grooves run into the center of the teeth on the chewing surface of molars. Most of them are narrower than a single toothbrush bristle, but wide enough for bacteria to hide. 

Quick & Painless

Our goal is for our patients to require the least amount of dental treatment possible. Children who enter adulthood with the fewest restored teeth will enjoy the lowest risk of future problems. Sealants can dramatically reduce the number of cavities a child might develop during their childhood. Deep grooves run into the center of the teeth on the chewing surface of molars. Most of them are narrower than a single toothbrush bristle but wide enough for bacteria to hide. 


If the grooves in permanent molars are sealed at a young age, the risk of decay occurring on the chewing surfaces decreases dramatically. Luckily, this procedure can be done quickly and without any discomfort or anesthetic.

The sealant material creates a smooth surface, filling in the grooves, making the biting surface easier for little hands to keep clean. A resin material is flowed over the grooves and sealed quickly with a blue activating light. Within a few minutes, your child’s teeth are protected against cavities.

What To Expect After Sealants

Sealants only last a few years and may need to be repaired or replaced periodically. However, research confirms a 90% reduction in tooth decay along the chewing surface in sealed molars. This cost-effective, simple step may help your child enter adulthood with fewer fillings and a lowered risk of significant dentistry in the future.
