Dental Sealants in Lombard, IL.
Sealants are highly effective in preventing tooth decay and cavities on your molars and premolars. These areas are the most susceptible to cavities due to the anatomized grooves.
Typically, children get sealants on their permanent molars and premolars as soon as these teeth come in. These sealants can protect the teeth through the cavity-prone years of ages 6 to 14. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
The process of applying sealants is easy and fast. The application steps are as follows:
- We thoroughly clean the teeth
- The teeth are dried
- A liquid solution is put on the chewing surfaces of the teeth
- The solution is cured using a special curing light
Sealants act as a barrier and protect the enamel from plaque and acids. They may last for several years before a reapplication is needed. While the sealant remains intact, the tooth surface will be protected from decay.
Sealants are not a substitute for brushing your teeth. It is important to maintain proper oral hygiene and keep up with professional dental cleanings. Also, sealants do not protect between the teeth, so it is essential to continue to floss daily.

I have been coming to Sanders Family Dental for over 12 years. I have always been fearful of the dentist since I was a child and I have had a wonderful experience here with Dr. Leslie! I started out with her father, Dr.Martin. My experience has been very comfortable for they offer sedation and Nitrous Oxide to help me feel at ease. I have had extractions, root canals, fillings and I am very pleased with Dr Leslie and her work. If you are fearful, the entire team helps put me at ease and feel relaxed. Definitely a great place to be for any dental procedures! The office is always clean, neat and up to date with all of the latest equipment.

I had a wonderful experience at Sanders Family Dental. To start I would say they are very professional and patient. So I hadn’t been to the dentist in about 15 yrs, and they made me feel so good and comfortable when coming in. The treatment was flawless to me because there weren’t any problems or issues before or after treatment and they follow up well. Just to say I will be recommending them to friends and family and of course I’m making them my personal dentist office. 👍🏾
