Dental Sealants in Bingham Farms
Some of the most effective dental care is also the simplest. Dental sealants take just minutes to apply and can protect your teeth from cavities for years, making them one of the smartest preventive investments you can make for yourself or your child.
Fast, Effective Protection Against Cavities
Dental sealants are a thin protective coating applied directly to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. They are suitable for patients of all ages and can be applied during your regular cleaning and exam visit with no numbing required.
The results speak for themselves. Sealants reduce the risk of cavities by up to 80 percent in the first two years and continue providing meaningful protection for up to four years and beyond. With proper care, they can last up to nine years and can be easily replaced when needed. Children without sealants are three times more likely to develop cavities than those who have them.
Sealants are a great fit for school-age children, cavity-prone adults, and anyone who wants an added layer of protection against decay.

A sealant is similar to a small plastic filling, but numbing is usually not necessary because tooth enamel does not have nerves.
First, we will assess the tooth or teeth that need to be sealed and remove any decay if present.
Then, we will apply a solution to improve the adhesion of the sealing material to the tooth surface.
Finally, we will apply the sealant by painting it onto the tooth and using a curing light if necessary. And that's all there is to it!
