Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a quick and reliable way to help protect your teeth from decay, particularly in the hard-to-reach grooves of your molars. At Sunny Dental of Wilton Manors, we use advanced CEREC technology to apply sealants with speed and accuracy, often completing the procedure in a single visit. This preventive treatment is especially useful for children, teens, and adults who are more prone to cavities. By forming a clear, protective layer over the back teeth, sealants block out debris, bacteria, and plaque, helping to keep your smile healthy with minimal effort and no invasive procedures.

Dental Sealents FAQ's
What are dental sealants and what do they do?
Dental sealants are thin, invisible coatings placed on the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to help guard against decay. These back teeth have natural grooves and pits where food particles and bacteria often collect. Applying a sealant creates a protective layer that smooths these surfaces and reduces the chance of cavities forming.
Who should consider getting dental sealants?
Sealants are commonly applied to children and teenagers shortly after their permanent molars erupt, usually between the ages of six and twelve. However, adults with a history of cavities or naturally deep grooves in their teeth can benefit as well. At Sunny Dental of Wilton Manors, we carefully evaluate each patient’s oral health to determine if sealants are a valuable preventive solution.
How is the dental sealant procedure done?
The application of dental sealants is a smooth and gentle process that takes only a short time. It begins with a thorough cleaning of the tooth to remove any residue. Once the surface is dry, a gentle conditioning liquid is used to help the sealant material attach more effectively. After rinsing and drying the tooth again, the sealant is carefully applied to the surface and then set in place using a specialized curing light. The entire procedure is smooth, stress-free, and usually finished in just a few minutes.
How long do dental sealants last, and do they need to be replaced?
Sealants can protect teeth for many years, typically between five and ten, depending on how well they are maintained. Chewing, grinding, and normal wear may cause them to thin or break down. During routine exams at Sunny Dental of Wilton Manors, we monitor your sealants and reapply them if needed to ensure continued protection.
Are sealants noticeable or do they change how my teeth feel?
Yes. Once the sealant has hardened, you can resume eating and speaking as usual. To keep them intact longer, we suggest avoiding overly hard or sticky foods that could dislodge the sealant material.
Are dental sealants safe for children and adults?
No. While they are commonly applied during childhood, adults can benefit too—especially if they have deep grooves in their molars or are prone to cavities. At Sunny Dental of Wilton Manors, we frequently apply sealants for adult patients who want extra protection without undergoing more invasive procedures.
Do I still need to brush and floss if I have sealants?
Yes. Sealants protect the tops of the back teeth, but good oral hygiene is still essential. Brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings remain key to preventing cavities and keeping your entire mouth healthy.
