At South Walker Dental, we offer safe, quick, and effective sealant treatments to shield teeth from decay and keep smiles healthy for years to come.

What Are Dental SealantsList Item 2
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings made of tooth-colored or clear resin. They are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, where grooves and pits are most likely to collect food particles and plaque.
Sealants act as a barrier, preventing bacteria and acids from settling into enamel and causing decay. Once applied, they harden quickly and provide long-lasting protection, without changing how your teeth look or feel.

How Long Do Dental Sealants Last
Sealants can last several years before needing reapplication. With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, they remain effective at protecting teeth through the most cavity-prone years. If a sealant wears down or chips, our team can easily reapply it during a routine visit.
