Dental Sealants Burnaby
Be proactive in your fight against tooth decay with dental sealants!
Your dentist may recommend thin, plastic-like protective coverings to keep plaque and food particles out of teeth where you may have a hard time brushing and flossing. These sealants are typically recommended to people with deep grooves and are usually applied to the back teeth.
If you want to keep your teeth healthier and enjoy your natural smile for longer, sealants might be for you!

Why Choose Dental Sealants
Our dental sealants Burnaby effectively protect teeth from decay and cavities. Our practice offers high-quality dental sealants, ensuring that your smile remains healthy and strong. If you are looking for a preventative measure to maintain your oral health, dental sealants are an excellent choice.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These sealants act as a barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from getting trapped in the grooves and pits of your teeth, which can lead to cavities.
How Do Dental Sealants Work?
The process of applying dental sealants at our practice in Burnaby is quick and painless:
- Cleaning the Teeth: We thoroughly clean the teeth to remove any plaque or food debris.
- Preparing the Teeth: The chewing surfaces are treated with a special gel to help the sealant bond to the tooth.
- Applying the Sealant: The sealant material is painted onto the tooth enamel, where it quickly hardens and forms a protective shield.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
- Prevents Cavities: Dental sealants provide a barrier that protects teeth from decay-causing bacteria.
- Quick and Painless: The application process is simple and can be completed in one visit.
- Suitable for All Ages: While often recommended for children, dental sealants are also beneficial for adults.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Sealants can last several years with proper care, providing long-term defense against cavities.
- Enhances Oral Health: By preventing cavities, dental sealants contribute to overall better oral health.
