Simple Solution for Healthy Teeth
The back teeth carry out most of the processes in your mouth during eating, but they are the hardest to clean. Some of them have deep grooves or small pits where food debris and bacteria may get trapped even after thorough brushing.
At Smile Collective, our priority is to protect these areas from any potential issues in advance through preventive measures. Instead of dealing with cavities, sealants create a protective barrier over the surface to prevent future tooth decay. This is particularly useful for kids and adults with a hectic lifestyle, who cannot always make sure they clean their teeth completely.
The Process of Providing Pit & Fissure Sealants
The procedure itself is fast and easy and takes only one visit. Every step is aimed at providing protection in order to ensure your teeth' safety.
Consultation
We assess the tooth surface to see if it needs sealants because of the cavity risk and the tooth condition.
Cleaning
The tooth is thoroughly cleaned of plaque and debris to prepare its surface for further treatment.
Preparation
We prepare the enamel so the sealant bonds securely and stays in place effectively.
Sealant Application
We apply a thin, tooth-coloured protective layer into the grooves to create a smooth barrier.
Final Touches
We harden the sealant and ensure your bite feels comfortable and natural.
