Dental Sealants

A thin plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars — one of the simplest ways to prevent decay in hard-to-clean spots.

How It Helps

Long-Lasting, Painless Decay Protection

Sealants are especially helpful for kids and teens as their permanent molars come in, but adults without existing sealants or fillings in their back teeth can benefit too — it's never too late to add this extra layer of protection. Dr. Kosek will let you know if sealants are a good fit at your next preventive visit.

  • Seals the deep grooves in molars and premolars where cavities most often start
  • Quick and completely painless to apply
  • Suitable for both children and adults with healthy, unfilled back teeth
  • Long-lasting and cost-effective compared to treating a cavity later
