What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They fill in the deep grooves and pits where bacteria and food debris tend to collect and cause decay. Sealants are quick to apply and completely painless. They create a smooth surface that is much easier to keep clean with regular brushing.

The Benefits of Dental Sealants

Cavity Protection

Dental sealants can reduce the risk of decay on back teeth by up to 80%.

Fast Application

The entire process takes just minutes and requires no drilling or numbing.

Lasting Protection

With proper care, sealants can protect teeth for up to 10 years.

Painless Procedure

No anesthesia is needed, making sealants a comfortable option for patients of all ages.

Cost-Effective Care

Preventing a cavity costs far less than filling or treating one later.

Supports Healthy Habits

Sealants work best alongside regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings.

    Gentle Etching

    A mild solution is applied to gently roughen the tooth surface so the sealant adheres securely.

    Application

    The liquid sealant is carefully painted onto the chewing surfaces of each tooth being treated.

  4. 04

    Final Check

    A curing light hardens the sealant in seconds, and Dr. Munguia checks your bite to confirm a comfortable fit.

Signs You May Need Dental Sealants

Some patients benefit from sealants more than others. Here are six signs that it may be a good option for you.

  • Deep Grooves: Your back teeth have deep pits and fissures that trap food and are difficult to clean with brushing alone.

  • History of Cavities: You have had multiple cavities in the past, suggesting a higher susceptibility to tooth decay.

  • Newly Erupted Molars: Recently emerged permanent molars are at their most vulnerable and benefit most from early sealant protection.

  • Hard-to-Reach Surfaces: The chewing surfaces of back teeth are difficult to clean thoroughly, leaving them exposed to decay over time.

  • No Prior Sealants: Teeth that have never been sealed face a greater risk of decay, regardless of age or brushing habits.

  • Signs of Early Decay: Your dentist has noticed white spots or early demineralization that have not yet developed into full cavities.

  • ★★★★★ I recently completed orthodontic treatment with Dr. Nomi Lee, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the entire treatment process. She made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and the results exceeded my expectations. I also want to give a big thank you to her office Manager Erika, who helped me with my first appointment, linking my insurance and making every appointment smooth. Erika is a huge help when it comes to getting started with my dental treatment. If you’re looking for a general dentist and orthodontist who is skilled, kind, and has an amazing staff, I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team. Five stars all the way!

  • I had another great experience at Dr. Nomi Lee’s office. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dr. Lee is professional, kind, and truly cares about her patients’ well-being. I came in for a check-up and cleaning, and as always, my hygienist Yelena was fantastic—friendly, personable, and incredibly thoughtful. She always checks in to make sure I’m comfortable and takes extra care to ensure nothing is painful. It really makes a difference to be treated with that level of attentiveness. Erika in the front office is always looking out for my best interest. She never fails to have a positive demeanor. The entire staff is accommodating and kind, and they make going to the dentist a positive and stress-free experience. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team to anyone looking for excellent dental care with a personal touch.

  • Been going here for several months now and wow, love the friendly, warm staff and professional work. Initially, I came here for a simple tooth extraction but after further examination, the dentist saw 2 cavities and a cracked tooth. This led to several trips to their office, each one with a friendly text notification of an upcoming appointment the day prior to the procedure. Each experience has been a pleasant & professional one with the utmost concern for any pain or discomfort. The tooth extraction was a breeze and I barely felt anything. Elena did deep cleaning on my dentures 3 times and is such a sweetheart per experience, concerned for any pain and answering all my questions. This place has definitely helped me lose fear in going to the dentist 🙏
