Dental Sealants in Vancouver
A Simple Step To Keep Cavities Out
Some parts of your mouth are just harder to clean — especially those deep grooves on your back molars. That’s where sealants come in. They act like a shield, covering those hard-to-reach spots and helping prevent food and bacteria from turning into cavities.
We often recommend sealants for kids and teens, but they’re a smart option for adults too — especially if you’re prone to decay in certain areas.
What Are Sealants?
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They’re clear or tooth-colored and blend in with your smile. The process is fast, painless, and doesn’t require any freezing or drilling.
Who Can Benefit From Sealants?
Children with newly erupted molars
Teens prone to cavities
Adults with deep grooves or past decay
Anyone looking for extra protection in specific areas
How It Works
The tooth is cleaned, dried, and lightly prepared so the sealant can bond properly. Then the material is brushed on and hardened with a special light. That’s it — you’re done in a few minutes.
Why We Recommend Them
Sealants are one of the most effective ways to prevent cavities in molars — where up to 80% of decay in children and teens occurs. They’re a low-cost, high-impact preventive treatment that can save you time, money, and discomfort down the line.
