About Dental
Sealants

Prevent Cavities Before They Start

Back teeth (molars) are more likely to develop cavities because they are harder to clean and have deep grooves that trap food and bacteria. Dental sealants create a protective barrier over these surfaces to help prevent decay.

At David J. Greer, D.D.S., PLLC, we offer gentle, effective sealants to help keep smiles healthy from an early age.

How Long Do
sealants last?

Dental sealants can last up to 10 years with proper care. We’ll check them during routine visits and reapply if needed to maintain protection. Good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups help extend their lifespan.
