Combat cavities with dental sealants
Shield your smile against decay
Our Burnaby dental sealants are a proactive step in maintaining oral health, especially for children and adolescents. They act as a barrier, protecting the grooves and dips of teeth from decay and cavities. Our dentists may recommend dental sealants to:
- Prevent tooth decay in molars and premolars
- Shield grooves and fissures in teeth where food and bacteria can hide
- Protect children’s teeth during cavity-prone years
- Offer adults with no decay or fillings a preventive measure
- Enhance overall dental hygiene and health
What dental sealants can do for you
- Act as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids
- Prevent cavities, especially in hard-to-clean back teeth
- Suitable for both children and adults to maintain dental health
- Quick, painless, and non-invasive application process
- Long-lasting protection, often for several years
Our approach to dental sealants
The process of applying dental sealants is straightforward and efficient:
- Your teeth are cleaned and prepared for the application.
- We then apply a special liquid sealant to the grooves of your teeth.
- A curing light is used to quickly harden the sealant.
- You leave our office with an extra layer of protection against tooth decay.

Dental Sealants FAQ
How should I care for my sealants?
Caring for sealants is simple: brush twice a day, floss regularly, and attend routine dental cleanings. Sealants don't require special care beyond normal oral hygiene.
How long do fillings in teeth last?
Our composite fillings can last anywhere from three to ten years.
What happens if my sealant comes off?
If a sealant becomes loose or falls off, contact us promptly. We can easily reapply the sealant to ensure continued protection against decay.
Are sealants just for kids, or can adults get them too?
Sealants are commonly recommended for children and teenagers, but adults can also benefit from them, especially if they have no fillings or decay in their molars.
