Fissure Sealants

Protect Your Teeth from Decay with Fissure Sealants at Mountain Gate Dental Clinic

The grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of your back teeth are common spots where decay can develop, even with regular brushing. These areas are difficult to clean and can easily trap food particles and bacteria.

As your trusted Ferntree Gully dentist, we offer fissure sealants — a highly effective preventive treatment that helps protect your teeth from cavities. Fissure sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, sealing the deep grooves and preventing bacteria from settling in.

The process is simple and painless. First, we thoroughly clean the tooth surface. Then, the sealant material is carefully applied and bonded to the tooth. A special light is used to harden the sealant, ensuring long-lasting protection.

Fissure sealants are especially valuable for children and teenagers, but adults can benefit too. Speak with your local dentist in Ferntree Gully to find out if this treatment is right for you.
