What are Fissure Sealants?
Fissure Sealants serve the purpose of providing an effective barrier against bacteria which is proven to cause plaque and lead to further dental problems that could otherwise have been avoided. Fissure Sealants are very similar to white tooth fillings and ultimately provide that extra layer of protection to best preserve and care for your teeth for the long term. Between your teeth are small gaps that allow for bacteria and food to make their way which results in plaque build-up. Here at Infinitidental Clinic, we are able to best apply Fissure Sealants painlessly and easily to a wide range of clients that are seeking preventative dental treatments. For more information regarding Fissure Sealants, please get in touch with our team today by calling us directly on 020 8542 2171.
How are Fissure Sealants applied?
You’ll be pleased to know that the application of Fissure Sealants is seamless and generally pain-free. Before the application of Fissure Sealants, you can expect our dental team to thoroughly clean the area within your mouth where we are applying the Fissure Sealants. No drilling is required for the application and all Fissure Sealants applied will be treated and dried which consequently will create that hardened form and protective coating to ensure protection from bacteria and food. Moreover, Fissure Sealants are much more effective when applied before the decaying of your teeth, if this is possible to do so.
What are the benefits of Fissure Sealants?
- Prevent Decaying – As previously mentioned, Fissure Sealants are proven to be highly effective in preventing teeth from decaying but they need regular maintenance to ensure that the protective layers are still in place to offer the best possible protection.
- Easily Repaired Or Replaced – Another major benefit of having Fissure Sealants is the fact that they can be easily repaired or replaced if necessary. If you require a repair or replacement, just contact us directly and we will arrange for a direct repair or replacement with a seamless approach from our experienced dentists in Wimbledon.
- Effective For Years – Studies have proven that Fissure Sealants can be highly effective for up to 5-10 years if properly maintained and looked after throughout the years. We recommend six-month check-ups for sealants to ensure optimum effectiveness and bacteria protection.
- Added Support For Oral Care – Perhaps an underestimated benefit of Fissure Sealants. Even with brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing, it can be extremely difficult to reach all the cracks and crevices of your back teeth. Fissure Sealants are proven to help keep bacteria and foods out of their difficult-to-reach crevices which is fantastic for overall oral care and hygiene.
If you’re looking for a preventative approach for protecting your oral health and teeth from decaying, we highly recommend Fissure Sealants in Wimbledon from our dentists. Fissure Sealants are the most effective prior to decay as this gives the sealants enough time to be properly fitted and sealed.
