What Are Dental Sealants?
Grooves in the top of the premolars and molars typically harbor more food particles and plaque. This makes them more vulnerable to developing cavities. Dental sealants help safeguard the molars from dental disease resulting from decay. These small protective coverings are created from a transparent or milky-colored material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. When they're set, dental sealants can protect these teeth and create a smoother surface, which is easier to maintain. Rise and Shine Dentistry does not just offer dental sealants to prevent cavities; they can also lessen your family's need for tooth-colored fillings or other restorative procedures in the future. To find out if dental sealants could help safeguard your or your child's oral health, talk to Dr. Klein at your biannual dental cleanings at our Rock Hill, SC practice.
How Are Dental Sealants Performed?
Before beginning your treatment, Dr. Klein will need to assess your teeth to determine if dental sealants will suit your needs. To prepare the teeth for dental sealants, a member of our team will polish the enamel to get rid of any buildup, food debris, and germs from the tops of the teeth. The enamel is then dried, and a thin layer of sealant liquid will be distributed precisely into the rifts using a tiny brush. An innovative curing light will be placed over the tooth; this will ossify the sealant covering within 10 – 20 seconds. As soon as each of the sealants is in place, Dr. Klein will evaluate your chewing surfaces for alignment and give you tips on how to best care for your sealants.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Sealants?
At Rise and Shine Dentistry, dental sealants are often recommended as a further preventive approach for the health of teeth. These sealants offer multiple advantages for our Rock Hill, SC patients, including:
- Saves time and expenses by maintaining healthy teeth
- Increases protection from decay, tartar, and plaque buildup
- Subtle, camouflaged coating
Rise and Shine Dentistry Reviews
Rise and Shine Dentistry has been a life (and tooth) saver. Doctor Klein was very patient and kind while completing a root canal on one of my teeth. He was extremely helpful by helping me with this emergency on his day off. What an extremely kind Doctor. His outstanding service was exceptional. His staff is incredibly kind and helpful as well. Even during inclement weather from Hurricane Helene, one of the staff came in just to help check the condition of my teeth. I was in pain and they responded so quickly. I am extremely satisfied with this dentist. I wish I could give them bonus stars on this rating. Seriously, if you are ever in need of a dentist, I beg you to go to Rise and Shine Dentistry.
It’s like having a cheering squad. 🤗 This a great place to get your mouth and teeth taken cared of. Love having Winnie the little dog to keep a patient calm. Dr. Kline and staff are great!
Dr. Kline and his staff so kind and caring.
Everyone at Rise and Shine is so nice! My dental hygienist, Brooke, and Dr. Klein were great to work with.
I wish I could give more stars!! Absolutely would recommend- From the time I walked in the door, I was greeted by two beautiful smiling women who made the check in a breeze- My dental hygienist was Brooke, she was outgoing, personable, explained everything to me and kept me pain free during my cleaning! Dr. Klein was very kind, knowledgeable and took his time to go over a treatment plan for me before getting Invisalign. I highly recommend this office!!
