Worried About Cavities in Your Child’s Hard-to-Reach Molars?

Discover how dental sealants at Granada Dental help protect vulnerable teeth before problems start.

Dental Sealants Sherwood Park

What Are Dental Sealants and Why Do They Matter?

Even the most dedicated brushing and flossing routines can miss the small, deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth—especially in kids. These grooves are prime spots for food and bacteria to settle, eventually leading to cavities.

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. Think of them as a safety shield—blocking out plaque, bacteria, and food particles from getting trapped in those hard-to-reach areas. For children and teens, sealants are a simple, non-invasive way to reduce their risk of tooth decay and future dental procedures.

At Granada Dental, we offer professional sealant treatments for patients of all ages, with a particular focus on protecting developing smiles.

Why Families in Sherwood Park Trust Dental Sealants

We’ve served families in Sherwood Park for over 30 years—and we know what matters most to parents. You want to keep your kids healthy, avoid unnecessary treatments, and save time and money while doing it. That’s exactly where sealants shine.

They’re Preventive Not Reactive

Dental sealants are applied before decay starts. Instead of waiting for a cavity to appear and treating it with a filling or crown, we prevent it altogether.

They’re Quick and Painless

Sealant application is fast, painless, and drill-free. No needles, no numbing, and no recovery time. The process usually takes just one visit and can often be done alongside a routine cleaning.

They’re Long-Lasting

Sealants typically last between 5 to 10 years, depending on your child’s eating habits, oral hygiene, and whether they grind their teeth. During regular check-ups, our team will monitor the sealants and recommend reapplication if needed.

They’re Cost-Effective

A single filling or cavity treatment can cost several times more than a sealant application. That’s why sealants are widely considered a smart, affordable investment in your child’s oral health.

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?

At Granada Dental, we recommend sealants for:

  • Children ages 6–14 as their permanent molars come in

  • Teens who haven’t had cavities in certain molars yet

  • Adults with deep grooves in their back teeth

  • Patients with a history of cavities or enamel defects

Sealants aren’t just for kids. Adults with risk factors like dry mouth, deep fissures, or prior decay can also benefit from the added protection.

How the Sealant Process Works at Granada Dental

We make every dental visit comfortable and efficient, especially for children who may feel nervous. Here’s what to expect during a sealant appointment:

1. Cleaning the Tooth Surface

We start by thoroughly cleaning the tooth to remove any plaque or debris from the grooves.

2. Prepping the Tooth

A gentle acidic solution is applied to the surface to help the sealant bond more securely.

3. Applying the Sealant

The sealant is brushed onto the tooth in liquid form and then cured using a special blue light.

4. Final Check

Once hardened, our dentists will ensure everything is smooth, secure, and properly sealed.
The entire procedure takes just a few minutes per tooth—and there’s no need for downtime or post-visit restrictions.

Do Sealants Replace Brushing and Flossing?

Not at all. Sealants are an added layer of protection—not a substitute for good oral hygiene. Daily brushing and flossing, paired with regular dental visits, remain essential. But sealants can help fill the gap by guarding against decay in those tricky areas where even the best brushing might fall short.

Still Unsure if Dental Sealants Are Right for Your Child?

That’s okay. At Granada Dental, we believe in giving parents all the information they need to make confident decisions. During your next visit, ask us about sealants. We’ll evaluate your child’s teeth and explain whether sealants are appropriate—and what the benefits could be in their specific case.

And if your child has already had a few cavities, it’s not too late. Sealants can still be applied to protect other teeth and reduce future dental work.

Expanding Your Child’s Protection as They Grow

As your child’s mouth changes, so should their dental care plan. We’ll continue to assess sealants during check-ups and update you on how their smile is progressing. If a sealant chips, wears down, or needs replacement, we’ll take care of it promptly.

Our goal is to grow with your family supporting lifelong oral health through every stage.
