A thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth — dramatically reducing cavity risk for children and cavity-prone adults alike.
Westar Dental · Westerville, OH · Serving All of Columbus
The grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of back teeth are the most cavity-prone areas in the mouth. Even thorough brushing often cannot fully clean these deep fissures — and bacteria that settle there can quickly cause decay that requires fillings or crowns to fix.
Dental sealants solve this problem simply and painlessly. A thin plastic coating is applied to the chewing surface, filling in those grooves and creating a smooth surface that is easy to clean. The entire application takes just minutes and requires no anesthesia, no drilling, and no discomfort whatsoever.
Most dental insurance plans cover sealants for children. For adults, the cost is minimal compared to the expense of treating even a single cavity. One of the best preventive investments you can make.
We use modern anesthesia and sedation to ensure your complete comfort. Most patients report far less discomfort than expected. IV sedation is also available for patients with dental anxiety — ask our team.
Coverage depends on your plan. We accept all major dental insurance and verify your benefits before treatment at no charge. We also offer CareCredit financing and our Westar Savings Plan for patients without insurance.
