Added Protection for a Healthier Smile
Dental sealants are a simple and effective way to protect teeth from decay—especially in areas that are difficult to clean with brushing alone. At Herriman Heights Dental Care, we provide professional sealant treatments at our office on the border of Herriman and Daybreak, Utah, helping both children and adults prevent cavities and maintain long-term oral health.
What Are Dental Sealants?
A dental sealant is a thin layer of tooth-colored or clear resin applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. These areas—typically molars and premolars—have natural pits and grooves where food particles and bacteria can settle. The sealant creates a smooth, protective layer that helps block out cavity-causing debris and supports more effective brushing.
Who Should Get Dental Sealants?
Children
Sealants are most commonly recommended for children as soon as their permanent molars begin to emerge—usually between the ages of 6 and 12. Applying sealants early helps protect their developing teeth during the years they’re most vulnerable to cavities.
Adults
Sealants can also benefit adults with deep grooves in their teeth or those prone to decay. If a tooth has not been previously restored or has signs of early wear, our team may suggest sealants to help protect it from further damage.
Quick, Comfortable Application
The sealant procedure is fast, non-invasive, and completed in a single visit. After the teeth are cleaned and dried, the sealant material is painted onto the surface and hardened using a special curing light. There is no drilling, no discomfort, and no downtime.
Once in place, sealants can last several years with regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene.
