Pits & Fissure Sealants

About this service

A dental sealant is a thin, protective coating applied to the pits and fissures of the tooth. The procedure is quick, safe, and completely painless. The tooth is first cleaned and gently prepared, after which the sealant is painted onto the surface and hardened using a special curing light. Once set, it forms a smooth barrier that seals out plaque, bacteria, and food particles. Sealants are usually clear or tooth-coloured, making them virtually invisible. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, they can last several years and significantly reduce the risk of cavities. Sealants are especially beneficial for children and teenagers soon after permanent teeth erupt, but adults can also benefit, particularly if they are prone to decay. Combined with good oral hygiene and routine dental visits, pits and fissure sealants help maintain healthy, cavity-free teeth and reduce the need for future dental treatments.
