Fissure Sealants
Sealants are thin, protective coatings painted onto the deep grooves of back teeth. They block out food and bacteria, dramatically lowering your child’s risk of cavities.
Fast • Painless • Effective
Placement takes only a few minutes per tooth—no needles or drilling required. Once set, sealants can last for several years.
Who Benefits Most?

- Adults prone to decay in molars

Frequently Asked Questions
Are sealants visible on my teeth?
Sealants are clear or tooth-coloured, so they’re virtually unnoticeable.
How long will sealants last?
They can last 3–5 years or longer; we’ll check them at each recall visit.
Do sealants replace fluoride?
No—sealants protect grooves, while fluoride strengthens the entire enamel surface.
