Sealants

Sealants have been proven highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, which are often difficult to get adequately clean. In a simple procedure, a tooth-colored acrylic coating is applied to the surface of the tooth. This coating “seals” the tooth from decay by keeping food and sugars from getting trapped in the deep grooves of the tooth, where decay is most likely to start.

Mesa dentist in The Dental Center of Mesa can perform this procedure for you, helping you avoid future cavities and decay in your teeth.
