At Chesapeake Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we offer dental sealants as a protective treatment to shield your teeth from decay and cavities. Dental sealants are a thin, plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. This simple, yet effective preventive measure is perfect for both children and adults, providing long-lasting protection and peace of mind when it comes to maintaining a healthy smile.
Choosing dental sealants is a proactive way to prevent future dental problems. By covering the deep grooves and pits of your molars, sealants act as a barrier against food particles and bacteria, reducing the likelihood of decay. This treatment is especially beneficial for younger patients but is equally effective for adults who want to protect their teeth.
Sealants act as a shield, keeping harmful bacteria and food particles out of the hard-to-clean grooves of your molars.
By preventing cavities, sealants can save you from more expensive dental procedures like fillings or crowns down the road.
Applying sealants is a simple, painless process that can be completed in just one visit, providing immediate protection for years to come.
Children and Teens

For adults with naturally deep grooves in their molars, sealants provide added protection to preserve their teeth and prevent decay.
Patients with a History of Cavities
