Dental Sealants

Dental Sealants in Hilton Head & Bluffton

Shield Your Smile From Decay

Prevent Cavities Before They Start

Your teeth have a fine layer of enamel designed to stop bacteria, but sometimes this enamel needs a little help.

With dental sealants, you can shore up your teeth’s defenses with an additional layer of protection.

Our team at Ocean Aesthetics and Dental will apply dental sealants in Hilton Head to any healthy teeth that may be at risk for decay.

How Dental Sealants Work

Dental sealants are an extra level of protection in areas that may be challenging to keep clean, such as your back teeth. A sealant is a liquid coating that we “paint” onto your target teeth, usually your back molars. When cured, this liquid hardens to resist the advances of plaque and tartar.

Our dental sealants in Hilton Head are subtle and unnoticeable, but they offer significant protection for your teeth. This is especially true for children and teenagers who are particularly at risk for tooth decay.

Sealing Your Teeth

What to Expect During Your Visit

Before applying your sealants, we will thoroughly clean the target teeth to prevent any bacteria or debris from being trapped under the sealant.

Your provider will gently dry your teeth and then apply a solution to your teeth that will increase adhesion with the sealant. Then they will paint on the actual sealing solution.

We will shine a curing light onto the sealant so it bonds to your teeth and hardens to its final texture.
