Dental Sealants in Houston, TX
Your back teeth have grooves deep enough to trap food and bacteria that even careful brushing cannot always clear. Dental sealants in Houston, TX, at New Smiles Dental Implant Center seal off those trouble spots with a protective coating, removing the spots where cavities tend to start and giving your teeth an extra layer of defense your daily routine cannot provide on its own.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They fill the small grooves and pits where plaque and food particles can collect, helping protect the enamel from bacteria and reduce the risk of cavities.

Our Treatment Process
Most people are surprised by how easy it is. No drills, no discomfort, just a few simple steps, and your teeth walk out with protection they did not have walking in. Here is how it goes:
Examine the Teeth
We check the teeth to determine whether dental sealants are appropriate for the chewing surfaces.
Clean the Teeth
The selected teeth are thoroughly cleaned to remove plaque, food particles, and debris.
Prepare the Surface
The tooth surface is gently prepared to help the sealant bond securely to the enamel.
Apply the Sealant
We carefully apply a thin layer of sealant into the grooves and pits of the tooth.
Harden the Sealant
A special curing light is used to harden the sealant and create a protective barrier.
