Experience the benefits of our high-quality fissure sealants, carefully applied by our dental team to help keep your teeth strong and free from cavities.
Fissure sealants are a protective treatment that helps prevent tooth decay, especially in the deep grooves of molars and premolars.
A thin plastic resin coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of these teeth, creating a barrier that stops food and bacteria from getting trapped in the grooves and causing cavities.
Your dentist at Pelago Dental in Karratha will start with a thorough check-up to look for any deep grooves or fissures in your teeth that could be at risk of cavities.
Before applying the sealants, we will clean and dry your teeth to remove any plaque or debris. This helps the sealant bond properly to your teeth.
To keep your teeth dry during the procedure, we may use a small rubber dam or cotton rolls around the teeth being treated. This helps the sealant stick properly.
A mild acid gel is then applied to the chewing surfaces of your teeth. This gently roughens the enamel, allowing the sealant to bond securely.
Once your teeth are ready, the tooth-coloured sealant is carefully applied to the grooves and fissures of your molars and premolars. It flows into the deep crevices, sealing them off from bacteria and food particles.
A special curing light is then used to harden and set the sealant. This helps it bond securely to your teeth, giving you long-lasting protection against cavities.
Our dental team will do a final check to make sure all the treated areas are properly sealed and that the sealants are securely in place.
We provide durable fissure sealants that protect your teeth from decay. Our experienced team applies these sealants with care and precision to create a strong barrier against cavities.
With our commitment to quality care, you can trust that your fissure sealants will help keep your teeth healthy and cavity-free for years to come.
Fissure sealants are usually applied when your child’s molars and premolars come through, around ages 6 and 12. Applying them early helps protect these teeth from cavities right from the start.
No, the fissure sealant procedure is painless and non-invasive. It doesn’t require drilling or anaesthesia, making it a comfortable and easy experience for children.
With proper care, fissure sealants can last for several years. Regular dental check-ups will help ensure they stay intact and continue to protect your child’s teeth.
Yes, adults with deep grooves on their molars can also benefit from fissure sealants. Your dentist can check your teeth to see if sealants are a good option for you.
Fissure sealants are tooth-coloured and blend in with your natural teeth, making them nearly invisible.
