Dental Sealants in Denver, CO
A quick, painless preventive coating for back teeth that helps keep cavities from forming — no drilling or anesthesia needed.
Complete Sealant Protection
The tooth is first cleaned and dried, then a mild conditioning solution is applied to help the sealant bond to the enamel surface. Dr. Yang paints the liquid sealant into the grooves of the tooth and uses a curing light to harden it into a durable protective shield. The entire process is comfortable and completed in one visit, with no recovery time needed.
Why Sealants Prevent Cavities
Dr. Jane Yang recommends sealants for children, teens, and adults whose molars have deep grooves that are difficult to clean with brushing alone. The deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of molars are especially vulnerable to decay because food particles and bacteria can settle into areas that toothbrush bristles cannot easily reach. Sealants fill in these grooves with a smooth, protective coating that makes the tooth surface easier to keep clean. The application takes just minutes per tooth, making it a particularly effective preventive measure for patients of all ages with cavity-prone molars.
Your Cavity Prevention Partner
Sealants are one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect teeth from decay. Ask Dr. Yang at your next visit whether sealants are a good option for you or your family.
