Dental Sealants in Tampa, FL

Prevent cavities and protect your teeth with dental sealants, a simple yet effective preventive service. Conveniently located in South Tampa, Wang and Cortes Dental offers high-quality sealants to keep your teeth healthy.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the grooves of the molars to shield them from decay. They are particularly beneficial for children and teens but can also protect adults at risk of cavities. Sealants create a smooth surface over the crevices in your teeth, preventing food particles and bacteria from causing decay.

Why Choose Dental Sealants?

Sealants are a proven way to safeguard against cavities, especially for hard-to-brush areas on back teeth. This preventive treatment can save you from more invasive procedures like fillings or crowns down the road. At Wang and Cortes Dental, we recommend dental sealants as part of a comprehensive approach to oral health, especially for patients in South Tampa, including nearby neighborhoods like Manhattan, Waters Ave, Midtown, Ballast Point, Hillsborough, and the greater Tampa Bay area.

The Dental Sealant Procedure at Wang and Cortes Dental

Our experienced dentists, Dr. William Wang, Dr. Lourdes “Millie” Cortes, Dr. Chad Burton, and Dr. Gibson Boswell, perform the sealant procedure in just one visit. Here’s what to expect:

1. Cleaning – We thoroughly clean and dry the tooth to prepare it for the sealant.
2. Application – A gentle adhesive is applied to the tooth, followed by the sealant material.
3. Curing – We use a special light to harden the sealant, creating a strong barrier against decay.

The process is painless and quick, making it easy for patients of all ages to receive this preventive care.

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are particularly effective for children and teenagers whose molars are still developing. However, adults who are prone to cavities or have deep grooves in their teeth can also benefit from sealants. Our Preventative Dentistry approach, which includes dental exams and fluoride treatments, ensures that we provide personalized care for each patient’s unique needs.
