Dental Sealants in Beverly Hills
Think of dental sealants as invisible shields for your teeth, especially for those back molars that do most of the chewing and get the least attention. In a city where your smile often does the talking, protecting it early can save you trouble down the road.
We offer dental sealants in Beverly Hills, not just for kids, but for adults, too. Because cavity prevention isn’t just a childhood concern, and prevention is always easier than treatment.
What Are Dental Sealants, Exactly?
The dental sealants are a protective layer of medical plastic applied to the chewing surface of back teeth. These are the areas most prone to plaque buildup and the hardest to reach with a toothbrush, no matter how well you brush.
Once applied, the sealant acts like a protective barrier. It blocks out food particles, bacteria, and acids, essentially reducing your cavity risk in those spots by up to 80%.
It’s painless. It’s quick. And it lasts for years.
Who Should Get Sealants?
While sealants are often associated with children, especially as their permanent molars come in, they’re not just for kids.
You may benefit from sealants if:
- Your teeth have deep grooves that can easily trap food
- You’ve had cavities in the past and want to prevent more
- You wear braces and find molar cleaning tricky
- You have sensitivity in hard-to-clean areas
Even if you’ve never had a cavity, sealants can help you stay that way.

The Dental Sealant Process
Getting sealants is probably the easiest dental visit you’ll ever have. Here’s how it works:
- We clean the tooth: This is to ensure there is no dirt or plaque before sealing.
- We dry the surface: A special gel is applied to the tooth to help the sealant bond securely.
- We apply the sealant: It’s painted on carefully and then cured with a light.
- We check the bite : Once it’s hardened, we make sure it fits naturally into your bite.
