Dental Sealants by Local Dentist


Protecting Teeth with Preventive Care

Why Dental Sealants Matter


Even with daily brushing and flossing, it’s easy for food and bacteria to collect in the deep grooves of molars and premolars. Over time, this buildup can lead to cavities. Dental sealants offer a preventive solution by sealing those vulnerable areas with a thin, protective coating that blocks decay-causing bacteria.



At Eddie Kao DDS, we recommend sealants for children, teens, and adults who are prone to cavities or have deep chewing surfaces. Applying sealants is quick, painless, and highly effective in protecting your teeth from decay for years to come.

The Dental Sealant Process


Dental sealants are one of the most efficient preventive treatments we provide. The process is simple and completed in just one visit:


  • Cleaning and Drying – The tooth surface is cleaned and prepared for bonding.
  • Application – A safe, liquid resin is applied to the chewing surface.
  • Curing – The sealant is hardened using a special curing light, forming a durable, protective layer.


Once applied, sealants act as a barrier against plaque and acids, significantly reducing the risk of developing cavities, especially in the back teeth where brushing can be more difficult.

Lasting Protection for Healthy Smiles

Benefits of Dental Sealants


Sealants are one of the easiest and most effective ways to maintain long-term dental health. They:


  • Help prevent cavities and tooth decay.
  • Protect enamel from harmful acids and bacteria.
  • Are virtually invisible and comfortable to wear.
  • Last for several years with proper oral hygiene and routine dental care.


Our team at Eddie Kao DDS monitors your sealants at every checkup to ensure they stay strong and effective, helping you maintain a healthy, cavity-free smile.
