Dental sealants are most often recommended for children. Our prosthodontist frequently recommends sealants for the permanent molars as soon as they come in, usually between the ages of 6 and 12 years. We may also recommend dental sealants for adult patients whose teeth are prone to decay or have not been restored or suffered from decay in the past. We can apply dental sealants in just one short, comfortable visit to our practice.

Having dental sealants added to your teeth is a quick and painless process. Your dentist will clean and dry your tooth before placing an acidic gel on your teeth. This gel roughs up your tooth surface so a strong bond will form between your tooth and the sealant. After a few seconds, your dentist will rinse off the gel and dry your tooth once again before applying the sealant onto the grooves of your tooth. Your dentist will then use a special blue light to harden the sealant. This is a completely safe process for children and adults. These should only be applied on permanent teeth.

When our prosthodontist, Dr. Zev Kaufman, applies a dental sealant in our Manhattan clinic, dental sealants will often last for several years before they need to be reapplied. During your regular dental visit, he will check the condition of the sealant and can reapply them as needed.
