Dental Sealants

Dental sealants in Beaverton, OR

Do you have deep grooves in your back teeth that are difficult to keep clean? At Prestige Family Dentistry, we provide dental sealants in Beaverton, OR, to help protect cavity-prone teeth before decay develops. We’ll examine your oral health, assess your risk for cavities, and determine whether dental sealants are the right preventive option for your smile.

How Can Dental Sealants Help Protect Teeth?

A dental tooth sealant is placed on the deep grooves of your back teeth to help keep plaque and food particles from collecting in areas that are difficult to clean. They create a protective barrier over these grooves, helping keep plaque, bacteria, and food particles from collecting in hard-to-clean areas.

Are Dental Sealants Right for You?

Deep grooves in your molars can make them more challenging to clean and more likely to develop cavities.

You might be a candidate if you:

  • Have healthy molars with deep pits and grooves
  • Are more prone to developing cavities
  • Want added protection as part of your preventive dental care

We’ll walk you through whether dental sealants are the right option for your smile and explain your preventive care options before moving forward.

What Happens During the Dental Sealant Process?

Your appointment starts with a thorough exam so we can evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We’ll also take digital X-rays if needed to make sure the chewing surfaces are healthy enough for sealants before planning your treatment.

If you’re a candidate, we’ll clean and prepare your teeth before carefully applying the sealant material to the grooves of your molars. A special curing light hardens the sealant, and we’ll check your bite to make sure everything feels comfortable. Before you leave, we’ll explain how to care for your sealants, answer your questions, and let you know when to schedule your next preventive visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can benefit from dental sealants?

Dental sealants are commonly recommended for children after their permanent molars come in, but dental sealants for adults may also be recommended when the teeth are healthy and at risk for cavities.

How are dental sealants different from fluoride treatments?

Although both treatments help reduce the risk of cavities, they do so differently. Fluoride supports the health of your teeth, while sealants protect the natural grooves in your back teeth where plaque can build up.

Can a sealant for sensitive teeth help?

In some situations, a sealant may be used to cover exposed areas of a tooth and reduce sensitivity, depending on the cause. During your visit, we'll determine whether a sealant or another treatment is the most appropriate option for your needs.

How do I care for my dental sealants?

There's no special maintenance required. Brush and floss as you normally would, and we'll check your sealants during your regular dental appointments to make sure they're still doing their job.
