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.
