Dental sealants are a proven and effective way to protect teeth – especially molars – from cavities and decay. We may recommend sealants as a key preventive measure for children, teens and cavity-prone adults. Quick, painless and affordable, sealants offer years of protection and peace of mind for families.

How Dental Sealants Work

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. These back teeth have natural grooves that can trap food and bacteria, making them more vulnerable to cavities. A dental sealant covers those grooves, creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean and less likely to develop decay.

Dental sealants in Lompoc, CA, offer several advantages:

  • Long-lasting protection against cavities
  • Quick, non-invasive application
  • Ideal for children with newly erupted molars
  • Can be applied during routine cleanings
  • Reduce the need for fillings or more complex treatments

The entire process usually takes only a few minutes per tooth and requires no drilling or numbing. Once applied, the sealant hardens and begins protecting the tooth right away.
