What Is Dental Sealant?

Our skilled Nashville dentists utilize premium materials to guarantee the effectiveness and durability of your dental sealants. The process is quick, simple, and painless.

Note: A dental sealant cannot be placed on a tooth that has a filling, implants, or experiencing current tooth decay.

Does Getting Dental Sealants Hurt?

While you may feel slight pressure, the application of dental sealants should not hurt. The procedure in non-invasive and does not involve any drills. The typical process includes our Nashville based dental team cleaning the tooth, applying a gel, rinsing, and drying the tooth, and then painting on the sealant.

How Long Do Dental Sealants Last?

The longevity of sealants can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and the wear and tear inflicted on the teeth from daily activities like chewing. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, sealants typically last 5 - 9 years. Should the sealants wear down over time, they can be easily replaced or reapplied by our dental team to maintain ongoing protection against cavities.
