Understanding the Dental Care

What Dental Sealants Are

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings placed on the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They work by sealing deep grooves and pits where food and bacteria love to hang out. Once applied, sealants create a smooth surface that makes brushing more effective and helps reduce the risk of cavities.

At Method Modern Dentistry in Alpharetta and Roswell, GA, Dr. Alex Franco uses high-quality, BPA-free materials that bond quickly and last for years. The process is fast, pain-free, and perfect for kids, teens, and even adults who want extra protection against decay. Sealants are ideal for younger patients but can also benefit adults with deep grooves or a history of decay. It’s a simple, preventative step that makes a long-term difference.

Quick steps before your treatment

Preparation for Your Dental Sealants

Preparing for dental sealants is simple, but knowing what to expect helps the appointment feel smooth and easy from start to finish. Before your visit, notice any grooves on your molars that trap food often, since this helps Dr. Alex Franco decide exactly where protection is most needed. Keeping your teeth clean beforehand improves bonding and makes the overall process quicker and more predictable.

If you deal with sensitivity or grinding, mention it so she can place the sealants in a way that supports your bite comfortably. Eat before your appointment so you stay relaxed throughout. Sealants are quick and painless, and arriving calm helps the experience feel even easier.

Aftercare for Your Dental Sealants

After your sealants are placed, your teeth may feel slightly different when you bite, though this sensation usually fades within a day as your mouth adjusts. You can eat normally right away, but avoiding very sticky candies for the first day helps the material settle properly. Continue brushing and flossing to keep the sealed teeth clean, especially around the edges where plaque can sneak in.

If a sealant feels too high or catches your bite after the first day, Dr. Alex Franco can adjust it quickly and comfortably. Sealants can last several years, and routine checkups help ensure they stay strong and protective.

What teeth usually get sealants?

Sealants are usually applied to the molars and premolars since those teeth have deep grooves that are more likely to trap food and bacteria. They're most common in kids and teens, but adults can benefit too.

How long do dental sealants last?

Sealants can last up to 10 years with good oral care and regular checkups. Dr. Franco will check them at every cleaning to make sure they’re still doing their job. If they wear down, they can be reapplied quickly.

Are dental sealants only for kids?

Not at all. While kids get them most often, adults with deep grooves in their back teeth or a history of cavities are great candidates. Dr. Franco offers sealants as a preventive option for patients of all ages.

Do sealants hurt?

Not even a little. Getting dental sealants is totally painless and doesn’t require any drilling or numbing. It takes just a few minutes per tooth and you can eat and drink like normal right after.

Can I eat normally after getting sealants?

Yes. Once the sealant material hardens, you can eat and drink like normal. Just avoid super sticky or crunchy foods for the rest of the day to help it set fully and stay in place longer.
