Dental sealants in Chester, 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&#8211;usually applied to the baby molars&#8211;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.<\/p>\n<h3>The Dental Sealants Application<\/h3>\n<p>At United Smiles in Chester, VA the dental sealant application is quick and completely non-invasive&#8211;they can be applied in just one visit. Dr. George P. Varkey, our dentist in Chester, VA 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Dental sealants in Chester, VA have been proven to be very durable and successful.
