Sealants
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth where cavities most commonly form. At Ryerson Smile Boutique, sealants are a quick, painless, and highly effective preventive treatment especially recommended for children and teenagers. They act as a barrier against food and bacteria, significantly reducing the risk of decay.
What is it?
Dental sealants are thin, protective plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to shield them from cavities and decay.
How it works?
The tooth surface is cleaned and conditioned, then the sealant material is painted on and hardened with a curing light in just a few minutes per tooth.
How it helps?
Sealants create a barrier against food particles and bacteria, reducing the risk of cavities in hard-to-clean grooves by up to 80%.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Children and adults with deep grooves in back teeth who are at higher risk for cavities in those hard-to-clean areas.
What is the typical experience?
A thin protective coating is painted onto the chewing surfaces and hardened in seconds. Quick, painless, and no anesthesia needed.
How long does it usually take?
A few minutes per tooth, done in a single short appointment.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
Sealants protect the surfaces they cover but don't replace brushing and flossing. Regular checkups will monitor when a reapplication is needed.
What should I know about recovery after?
No recovery needed. Eat normally right after, though avoiding very sticky foods on the first day is a good idea.
