What Is Dental Sealant?

Dental sealants provide a thin protective covering the chewing surface of your back teeth, to safeguard them from decay and bacteria. They are typically placed on your molars or premolars. Dental sealants are particularly a good option for children once their molars and premolars come in.

Our skilled Paducah dentists utilize premium materials to guarantee the effectiveness and durability of your dental sealants. The process is quick, simple, and painless.

Note: A dental sealant cannot be placed on a tooth that has a filling, implants, or experiencing current tooth decay.

Does Getting Dental Sealants Hurt?

While you may feel slight pressure, the application of dental sealants should not hurt. The procedure in non-invasive and does not involve any drills. The typical process includes our Paducah based dental team cleaning the tooth, applying a gel, rinsing, and drying the tooth, and then painting on the sealant.

How Long Do Dental Sealants Last?

The longevity of sealants can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and the wear and tear inflicted on the teeth from daily activities like chewing. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, sealants typically last 5 - 9 years. Should the sealants wear down over time, they can be easily replaced or reapplied by our dental team to maintain ongoing protection against cavities.

Dentures

If you have lost most or all of your teeth, wearing dentures can be a difficult experience. Worrying about loose or painful dentures can be a drain on your patience and your health. Dental Implant supported dentures made by a specialist in Prosthodontics can change your life?

Dental Crowns

Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.

Dental Exams And Check-Ups

Every six months, an oral exam should be performed to check for signs of gum disease and cavities.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are made of titanium and have special coatings that encourage the fusing of human bone. The top of each dental implant has an internal screw channel so that crowns, bridges, and or dentures can be screwed in place.

Extractions

The removal of a tooth from its by a professional is called an extraction. When a tooth has been broken, decayed, or damaged, a dentist can often use treatments such as fillings, crowns, or their alternatives.

Fillings

Dental fillings are the most conservative way to restore smaller areas of tooth decay. In a dental expert's hands, these types of restorations can be made to conserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while providing a restoration that is almost indistinguishable from the natural tooth. Both resin and porcelain fillings can be adhesively bonded to your natural tooth to add strength.
