Dental Sealants in Longmont, CO

Quick, Easy, and Painless Cavity Prevention That 
Protects Kids, Teens, And Adults For Years

Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent cavities. This clear or tooth-colored layer seals deep grooves and fissures, preventing food particles and bacteria from getting trapped and causing cavities.


Fun Facts About Dental Sealants

Did you know that dental sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by as much as 80%? Studies show that children without sealants are three times more likely to develop cavities than those who receive this simple, preventive treatment. 

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?

At Longmont Peak Dentistry in Longmont, CO, we provide dental sealants for children and adults to help protect teeth from decay and maintain long-term oral health. Sealants prevent cavities from forming—once a cavity develops, a filling is needed instead.
Children & Teens
Applied to permanent molars and premolars as soon as they erupt (typically ages 6-12) to prevent cavities.

Patients at Risk for Cavities
Those who want extra protection against decay in areas that are difficult to clean with brushing and flossing.

How Are Dental Sealants Applied?

The sealant application process is quick, painless, and non-invasive, typically taking between
10-45 minutes, depending on the number of teeth being treated.
Step 1: Teeth Cleaning – The dentist or hygienist thoroughly cleans and dries the teeth.

Step 2: Preparation – A special gel is applied to help the sealant bond to the tooth.
Step 3: Sealant Application – The liquid sealant is brushed onto the tooth’s surface.
Step 4: Curing – A special light hardens the sealant for long-lasting protection.
Once applied, the sealants instantly begin protecting your teeth from cavities!

How Long Do Dental Sealants Last?

Sealants can protect teeth for several years, and with proper care, they can last 10 years or longer.
During regular checkups, Dr. Pinkner will examine the sealants and reapply them if needed to ensure continued protection.
