Dental Sealants
in Brentwood, CA
Dental sealants are a simple, effective way to help protect teeth from cavities. By sealing the deep grooves in the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, sealants create a protective barrier against food particles and bacteria. This preventive dental treatment is especially beneficial for children and teens, but adults can benefit as well.
Dental sealants are quick to apply, virtually unnoticeable, and an important part of maintaining long-term oral health. Interested in learning more and scheduling with our team? Contact us today!

What are the benefits of dental sealants for kids and adults?
Dental sealants help protect teeth from cavities by sealing the deep grooves where food and bacteria often get trapped. For children and teens, sealants can significantly lower the risk of decay in molars. Adults can also benefit, especially if they are prone to cavities or have deep grooves in their teeth. Sealants add an easy, extra layer of protection alongside regular brushing and flossing.
How long do dental sealants last?
Dental sealants are designed to be long-lasting and can protect teeth for several years. In many cases, sealants last up to five to ten years with proper care. During routine dental exams, we always check the condition of sealants and can repair or replace them if needed. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits help ensure sealants continue to do their job effectively.
Are dental sealants safe?
Dental sealants are safe for practically everyone. They are made from dental-grade materials that have been used for many years. Sealants are applied quickly and painlessly, with no drilling or numbing needed. Once placed, they harden and form a protective barrier on the tooth surface. Sealants are widely recommended by dental professionals as a safe way to help prevent cavities.
Are dental sealants affordable?
Dental sealants are a cost-effective way to help prevent cavities and reduce the need for future dental treatment. They are far less expensive than fillings and other restorative procedures.
Members of our in-house dental membership plan receive discounts on sealant applications. Many dental insurance plans cover sealants for children, and some also offer coverage for adults. Even without insurance, sealants are an affordable preventive option that can help protect long-term oral health.
