Dental Sealants in Albuquerque
Call Our Experienced Albuquerque Dentists Today
Our back teeth—our molars and premolars—are designed to crush and chew food before we swallow. Because of this, these teeth are often exposed to the greatest wear and tear in our mouth. They also have grooves called fissures that our toothbrushes can't clean. Because of these reasons, these back teeth are particularly susceptible to cavities and other dental issues.
One of the most effective ways to protect these back teeth is to apply what is known as dental sealant. At Dental House, our knowledgeable, experienced Albuquerque family dentists can inspect your back teeth for vulnerabilities and, if needed, recommend and provide an effective dental sealant treatment.

What Is Dental Sealant?
Dental sealant is a plastic coating that goes over the chewing surfaces of our back teeth to fill the fissures and prevent plaque and bacteria from causing cavities. The sealant acts as a barrier over these fissures and blocks the plaque and bacteria from reaching the crevasses that regular brushing cannot reach.
Why do patients choose dental sealant treatment?
- Sealant treatment can be completed in one appointment
- It's effective
- It's painless
- It's invisible (many sealants are clear or white)
