Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating (made from plastic or other dental materials) that easily adheres to the chewing surface of your back teeth. This treatment is great for patients of all ages, but is especially common for children.
This treatment can easily be completed during a routine dental cleaning and exam — give us a call at 07 40323236 to learn more and add it to your visit.

- Fast, Painless, Easy Application
The thin coating is painted on in liquid form and hardens in about a minute.

With proper care, sealants can be retained in the mouth for up to 9 years and easily replaced.
