Benefits of
Dental Sealant Protection
Dental sealants provide long-lasting protection against tooth decay by creating a smooth barrier over the deep grooves and pits of your molars. These thin plastic coatings prevent food particles and bacteria from settling into hard-to-reach areas where cavities commonly develop.
- Reduces cavity risk by up to 80% in treated teeth
- Offers years of durable protection with proper care
- Quick and painless application process
- Cost-effective preventive treatment option
Professional Sealant
Application Process
The dental sealant procedure is simple and comfortable. Dr. Esmael Valdez thoroughly cleans the tooth surface before applying the liquid sealant material to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. The sealant bonds directly to the tooth enamel, hardening into a protective shield that withstands normal chewing forces while preventing decay in Santa Fe patients. If you have existing cavities, you may also want to explore our dental fillings for comprehensive care.
Protect your family’s smiles with professional dental sealant treatment. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Esmael Valdez today. Call 505-471-7000 for more information.
