What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a form of preventive dentistry that helps provide protection against decay for molars and premolars in both adult and children’s teeth. The after-application sealant acts as a barrier against food particles and plaque, helping to prevent cavities before they form. Resolution of current decay can also be achieved with prompt sealant placement.
At Inspire Dental of Roswell, Dr. Nomi will use a plastic material that is painted on the teeth and then hardened with a special curing light. The sealant bonds into the grooves of the teeth, forming a protective shield so that food and bacteria cannot penetrate and cause decay. This procedure is painless and can be done in one office visit.
To ensure lasting protection, regular visits to Inspire Dental of Roswell are recommended and Dr. Nomi will check the sealant’s condition at each visit. Having regular checkups with Dr. Nomi and protecting teeth with sealants are great ways to maintain a healthy smile.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars to help protect against cavities. Sealants can provide excellent protection against tooth decay by preventing bacteria from entering and thriving in the healthy parts of teeth. Dr. Nomi and the team at Inspire Dental of Roswell provide dental sealants to keep your teeth looking and feeling their best.
The application process for sealants is fast and comfortable, typically taking only a few minutes per tooth. Dr. Nomi and their team can apply sealants without the need for anesthetic, and they are known to be safe, cost-effective, and long-lasting. Furthermore, sealants have been clinically proven to be effective for up to 10 years, with some protection lasting longer. By preventing bacteria from creating cavities, sealants offer excellent protection for your teeth and mouth.
How Are Dental Sealants Applied?
At Inspire Dental of Roswell, Dr. Nomi is an experienced dentist who can apply dental sealants to your teeth quickly and efficiently. Dental sealants are a thin and protective coating that helps shield the tooth from plaque and acids that can cause cavities.
The process for applying dental sealants is quick and simple. First the tooth is cleaned and dried. The tooth is then roughened so the sealant has something to bond with. After that, the sealant is applied in a liquid form and then hardened with a special curing light. The whole process should take no longer than a few minutes to complete.
Once the sealants are in place, they can last from three to five years and need to be checked at regular check-ups to ensure that they are still in good condition. With proper care, dental sealants can help protect your teeth from cavities and decay and help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

How Long Do Dental Sealants Last?
Dental sealants provide an effective way to improve your oral health and reduce the chance of cavities for years to come. Doctor Nomi, from Inspire Dental of Roswell, applies a sealant on top of your teeth to form a protective layer that helps prevent plaque and bacteria from forming in difficult-to-clean crevices. This sealant can last on your teeth up to 10 years with proper care, such as regular brushing and flossing, as well as professional dental exams and cleanings.
Inspire Dental of Roswell offers an easy and affordable way to ensure lasting dental health when you get this procedure done. Their dental sealant procedure ensures high-quality, lasting protection of your teeth with minimal risk of any negative side effects. After the sealant is applied, regular maintenance appointments are required to make sure the sealant is doing its job and that your teeth remain in excellent health.
Who Can Receive Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a protective treatment, most often used to protect the chewing surfaces of the permanent back teeth from decay. Dental sealants involve close attention to detail and accuracy during application to guarantee a positive outcome. While children are the primary candidates for sealants, adults with healthy teeth can also be a candidate, depending on the condition of their teeth.
It is especially important that dental sealants be provided for children who are at a high risk for cavities or have previous cavities. Young people typically don’t have the diligence to clean their teeth properly, so sealants become a great way to protect them from decay. Adults who are especially susceptible to tooth decay also make great candidates for dental sealants.
