FAQ

Common Questions

Absolutely! Adults without decay or fillings in their molars can benefit from sealants, especially if they have deep grooves or a history of cavities.

Sealants can protect teeth for up to 10 years, but they need to be checked at regular dental visits. We can repair or replace them if they chip or wear away.

Sealants are typically clear or white and are placed on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile or talk.
