Dental sealants are a wonderful tool to aid in the protection of your teeth.

These pontics can be made from various materials including porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, gold, alloy or a combination of these materials. The supporting teeth can be either natural teeth or dental implants.

A sealant is a liquid filling material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. The sealant covers the tiny pits and grooves found in your back teeth that are nearly impossible to clean. Tooth sealants can last several years before needing to be reapplied. Dr. Franck can advise you if this service would be beneficial to you.

 Dental sealants are a common treatment for children ages 6-16.
