Dental Sealants in Frisco and McKinney, TX
Prevent cavities before they start with advanced sealant protection — safe, effective, and ideal for both children and adults.
Cavity Prevention Made Simple — and Smarter
Dental sealants are a proactive, painless way to prevent decay in the grooves of your back teeth — where toothbrushes often miss and plaque loves to hide. At Lucid Dentistry in Frisco and McKinney, TX, we use sealants as part of a modern preventive approach that combines cutting-edge diagnostics with early intervention.
Recommended for children, teens, and even cavity-prone adults, sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. Dr. Sumit Kaur and our team use high-precision placement techniques alongside real-time imaging to ensure your sealants last and provide the best defense against decay.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Sealants are thin, BPA-free resin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They create a protective barrier that shields deep grooves and fissures from food particles, plaque, and bacteria.
At Lucid Dentistry, the sealant process includes:
- Digital cavity risk assessment
- Thorough tooth cleaning and drying
- Application of bonding agent and resin sealant
- Curing with a high-powered LED light
- Final quality check using intraoral cameras
Sealants are often placed during a routine cleaning and can last up to 10 years with proper care.
Who Should Get Dental Sealants?
Sealants are recommended for:
- Children ages 6–14 as their permanent molars erupt
- Teens with cavity-prone teeth
- Adults with deep grooves or early enamel wear
- Patients with limited dexterity or difficulty cleaning back teeth
- Individuals with fillings who want to protect adjacent teeth
Our pediatric dentistry services make it easy to include sealants in your child’s preventive care plan, while adults benefit from sealants as a simple, effective way to avoid future fillings.
The Lucid Dentistry Advantage: Technology Meets Prevention
We combine preventive care with advanced diagnostics to ensure accuracy and comfort:
