Sealants

What Are Sealants?

Dentist Augusta

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent cavities. These teeth often have deep grooves and pits that are difficult to clean with regular brushing and flossing, making them more susceptible to decay. Sealants create a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that blocks bacteria, plaque, and food particles from settling into these vulnerable areas. Typically made from durable resin materials, sealants are painted onto the teeth and hardened with a special light, forming a strong, long-lasting barrier. Sealants are most commonly recommended for children and teenagers, but adults who are prone to cavities can also benefit from this preventive treatment.

At Summerville Dentistry, we focus on applying sealants as part of a comprehensive approach to maintaining oral health. Our dental team evaluates each patient’s teeth to determine which surfaces would benefit most from protection. Sealants are quick, painless, and require no anesthesia, making them an ideal preventive measure for patients of all ages. Combined with regular dental checkups, fluoride treatments, and proper at-home care, sealants significantly reduce the risk of cavities and future dental work. Patients in the Augusta, GA area benefit from our expertise and preventive approach, ensuring their teeth stay healthy and strong while minimizing the risk of decay over time.

  Very kind,  efficient and very knowledgeable staff.  I feel very well taken cared of at this practice. Highly recommend them! Recently had some broken tooth issues and with some other medical issues I was having at the time, made it difficult to communicate well with staff. Dr. Bish, Dr. Harper, Nikki (sp) were so accommodating, so helpful and did a great job! Have always enjoyed the great care of Robin and the front staff personnel were great!
