Dental sealants in Napa, CA

What are dental sealants?

Dental sealants are a thin, tooth-colored coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth. At Bevan Dental, dental sealants in Napa are a simple way to protect the deep grooves where food and bacteria like to hide.

Who sealants are for

• New permanent back teeth with deep grooves
• Adults with deep grooves and no fillings on those teeth
• Anyone who tends to get cavities on chewing surfaces

What to expect

1. Clean. We clean and dry the tooth surface.
2. Paint. We paint the sealant into the grooves.
3. Set. A special light hardens it in seconds.

There's no drilling and no numbing, and you can eat normally right after.

How long sealants last

Sealants can last for years with normal wear. We check them at every exam and can touch them up when needed.

Sealants and early cavities

Sealants are for healthy teeth. If a groove already shows early decay, we may treat it with no-drill fillings first, or with a small filling if the decay is further along. Pairing sealants with fluoride gives your teeth even more protection.

“I'd rather tell you the truth than talk you into something. If you're nervous, we slow down and keep things gentle. If something can wait, I'll tell you it can wait. After more than 25 years, I've learned that being honest and gentle is its own kind of warmth.”
