What is the Process for Applying Fissure Sealants?
Application is quick, non-invasive and painless. After cleaning your teeth, we apply a special etching fluid that slightly roughens the tooth surfaces, creating a better bond between the tooth and the sealant. After washing and drying the teeth, we can simply paint on the sealant. Our dentist might harden it with a special light or will leave it to harden naturally. Afterwards, you can eat and drink normally. When you visit Icon Dental for your regular examinations, we will assess the condition of the sealants carefully. They should last a long while, but we can reapply them when needed and if they start to become chipped or worn.
