Dental sealants are a fast, affordable way to protect your teeth—especially molars—from cavities. At Black Mountain Dental, we offer safe, effective sealants for both kids and adults who want an extra layer of protection against tooth decay.
Back teeth (molars and premolars) have deep grooves that can be hard to clean thoroughly, especially for kids. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to these chewing surfaces to “seal out” plaque and food particles.
This preventive treatment reduces the risk of cavities by creating a smooth, shielded surface—making brushing more effective and minimizing decay over time.
Sealants are often recommended during routine dental exams and cleanings, particularly for children, but many adults can benefit too.
The sealant process is quick and non-invasive:
Once applied, sealants can last for several years and are checked during each visit to ensure they remain intact and effective.
Sealants are most commonly recommended for:
If you or your child are already receiving preventive treatments like fluoride therapy, sealants are a great complement.
We also integrate sealants as part of our comprehensive pediatric dentistry services.
At Black Mountain Dental, we understand that your time is valuable. That’s why we focus on delivering efficient, well-coordinated care that keeps your dental visits on schedule without sacrificing thoroughness or quality.
Whether you’re a busy parent, professional, or senior, we make it easy to stay proactive about your dental health—without spending extra time in the chair.
For those interested in affordability, we accept most dental insurance plans and offer flexible financing through CareCredit, helping you make prevention a priority.

No. While sealants are commonly used for children, many adults benefit from them as well—especially if they have deep grooves in their molars or are prone to cavities.
Not at all. Sealants are applied without any drilling or numbing. The entire process is quick, painless, and completed in one visit.
Sealants typically last between 5 to 10 years with proper care. They can wear over time, but we’ll check them at every visit and reapply if needed.
Sealants are clear or tooth-colored and not noticeable when you smile or talk. They blend in naturally with the teeth.
Most plans cover sealants for children, and some may offer coverage for adults. To explore your benefits or financing options, visit our financing page.
