Dental Sealants in Walnut Creek, CA

Sealants protect the grooves in your back teeth. Kids at Walnut Creek Intermediate and adults both get them because they help stop cavities before they start.

We clean the tooth first. Then we paint on a thin, clear coating. It hardens in just a few seconds with a small blue light. This layer blocks food, sugars, and bacteria from hiding in the deep grooves.

Walnut Creek folks who love trail snacks, granola bars, and sticky foods benefit a lot from sealants. Those foods get stuck easily and cause cavities. According to the CDC, dental sealants can prevent 80% of cavities in the back teeth, where 9 in 10 cavities occur.

Sealants feel smooth once they set, and you won’t even notice them when you chew. They last years and can be re-applied if needed. The American Dental Association emphasizes that sealants are a cost-effective way to avoid more expensive dental work, like fillings or crowns, down the road.

Your Dentist in Walnut Creek checks them at each visit so you know they’re holding up well.
