What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth are more prone to cavities because food particles and bacteria can easily get trapped in their deep grooves. Sealants act as a barrier, preventing decay and keeping your teeth healthier for longer.

At Brilliant Smiles Riverside, we recommend sealants for children, teens, and even adults who are at higher risk of tooth decay. They are quick, painless, and one of the most effective preventive treatments available.

Dental Sealants in Riverside & Dayton, OH

Families across Riverside, Dayton, Beavercreek, Fairborn, and nearby areas trust our team for preventive dental care.
Applying sealants is a simple process that helps protect teeth for years and reduces the need for fillings or more complex treatments later on.

How Do Dental Sealants Work?
  • Cleaning the Tooth – We start by thoroughly cleaning the tooth surface.
  • Preparing the Enamel – A safe gel is applied to help the sealant bond properly.
  • Applying the Sealant – The thin coating is carefully painted onto the grooves of your tooth.
  • Hardening the Sealant – A special curing light is used to seal it into place.

The entire process takes just a few minutes per tooth, is completely painless, and provides years of cavity protection.
