Protect Your Teeth in Petersburg, VA with Dental Sealants

What is an effective preventive dental procedure? Dental sealants in Petersburg, VA. The availability of dental sealants allows our staff at United Smiles to protect your teeth from cavities and decay. While dental sealants are most often used in children–usually applied to the baby molars–adults can benefit from dental sealants, too. This is especially true if adults suffer from pits or fissures because they create hard-to-brush areas in between teeth.

The Dental Sealants Application

At United Smiles in Petersburg, VA the dental sealant application is quick and completely non-invasive–they can be applied in just one visit. Our team will start by performing an initial cleaning and evaluation. He will then apply the plastic coatings one tooth at a time. The dental sealants flow into the grooves of the tooth and it either hardens on its own or is assisted with a special light source.

Once the dental sealants have hardened, the teeth are completely protected from bacteria. The sealant also acts as a barrier to protect enamel from outside factors such as plaque or acids and can last for several years before a reapplication is considered. As long as the dental sealants remain intact, the tooth surface is protected from decay.

Dental sealants in Petersburg, VA have been proven to be very durable and successful. To learn more about this preventive procedure, contact us at United Smiles.

I’m a VERY difficult person to numb up for dental procedures, and Dr. A worked with me to make sure my extraction was seamless as possible. Unfortunately, again….4 vials in, I was not numb in 1 spot. She went for it and got the tooth out with minimal pain!!! It is the day after and I’m feeling great!!! A bit sore (per the usual after extraction) but in great spirits. I’m actually looking forward to finishing my smile with the Petersburg office!!!

I am very pleased with United Smiles. The environment is pleasing and appointment times are always convenient. I don’t have to wait when I get there. Dr. Richardson is the only dentist that I know. I have never had a reason to look for another one. I am still wearing the same bridge that he put in place many years ago. Great dentist and great work.
