Alexandria Dental Sealants

Simple protection that keeps cavities away

Preventive care that protects growing smiles

Even with great brushing habits, some teeth have deep grooves that easily trap food and bacteria. At Grant H. Schneider II, DDS, we offer dental sealants in Alexandria to shield these vulnerable spots from decay.

Sealants are thin, clear coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They act as a protective barrier, sealing out plaque and acids before cavities can form. Whether for children getting their first permanent molars or adults who are cavity-prone, dental sealants are one of the easiest ways to protect your teeth long-term.

What sealants can prevent

5Cavities on back molars
5Decay in deep grooves and pits
5Bacteria buildup that brushing can’t reach
5Early enamel wear on chewing surfaces

Keeps Cavities at Bay

The process is fast, painless, and requires no downtime.

Sealants are a cost-effective way to avoid more expensive dental work.

Great for kids, teens, and adults who want to protect their teeth.

How we apply sealants

5Thorough cleaning: We begin by cleaning and drying each tooth to ensure a perfect seal.
5Surface preparation: A gentle etching solution creates a slightly rough surface for better bonding.
5Sealant application: The liquid coating is painted onto the tooth and hardened with a curing light — no discomfort involved.
5Final check: We polish and make sure your bite feels normal before you leave.
