Dental Sealants in Northwest Oklahoma City

A Simple Solution for Long-Term Cavity Prevention

Back teeth — especially molars — have deep grooves that are hard to clean and more likely to develop decay. Dental sealants act as a protective barrier, sealing off those grooves and keeping out plaque, food particles, and bacteria.

At Legacy Family Dentistry, Dr. Armin Zarkeshan applies sealants in a quick and comfortable appointment. They’re especially helpful for children and teens, but adults with high cavity risk can benefit too. Sealants are an affordable, proactive way to avoid future fillings and protect your natural teeth.

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?

While sealants are most commonly recommended for children and teens, they can help at any age if the conditions are right. Sealants are ideal for:

• Kids whose first permanent molars have erupted (around age 6)
  
• Teens with deep grooves or a history of cavities
  
• Adults prone to decay in their back teeth
  
• Patients with early signs of enamel wear
  
• People with difficulty maintaining oral hygiene
  

During your routine dental exam and cleaning, we’ll evaluate your molars and determine if sealants are the right preventive option for you or your child.

What to Expect During the Sealant Process

Dental sealants are fast, safe, and completely non-invasive. Here's how we apply them:

1. The tooth is cleaned and dried thoroughly.
   
2. A special gel is placed on the chewing surface to help the sealant bond.
   
3. The gel is rinsed off, and the tooth is dried again.
   
4. Liquid sealant is painted onto the grooves of the tooth.
   
5. A curing light hardens the sealant in just seconds.
   

Once sealed, the tooth is protected immediately — and the sealant can last up to 5–10 years with proper care and regular checkups.
