What are dental sealants?

Dental sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, particularly the molars, to prevent cavities by sealing grooves that trap food particles and bacteria.

Who should get dental sealants?

Sealants are especially recommended for children and teenagers, but adults can also benefit, particularly those with deep grooves or without previous fillings.

Tooth decay remains a prevalent concern among patients of all ages. At Vibrant Laser Dentistry, a leading general dentistry practice in Colorado Springs, preventative measures are critical in maintaining strong oral health. One effective strategy we employ is the use of dental sealants, which play a vital role in cavity prevention.

Sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, particularly the molars, where decay tends to begin. These surfaces often have deep grooves that trap food particles and bacteria, making it easy for cavities to develop. By sealing these grooves, we can effectively create a barrier against plaque and acids, significantly reducing the likelihood of decay.

Studies have shown that sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by nearly 80% in children. The application process is quick and painless, usually requiring only one visit. Once applied, sealants can last for several years with proper maintenance and regular dental check-ups.

At Vibrant Laser Dentistry, patients consistently praise the high level of care they receive. Reviews from satisfied clients highlight our commitment to utilizing advanced dental technology, making us the go-to dentist in Colorado Springs. The implementation of sealants as part of our preventive care offerings illustrates our dedication to ensuring long-lasting dental health for our patients.

In addition to cavity prevention, dental sealants require minimal maintenance. Regular check-ups allow our dental professionals to monitor the condition of existing sealants and reapply them if necessary. This proactive approach helps to minimize the need for more extensive treatments in the future, saving both time and money for families.

Sealants are especially recommended for children and teenagers, as their teeth are still developing and they may be more susceptible to cavities. However, adults can also benefit from sealants on teeth that have deep grooves or those without previous fillings. This means that anyone can take advantage of this simple yet effective preventive measure.

Patient Testimonials

Hear what our patients have to say!

“My visit to Vibrant Laser was constructive and informative. Ashley was an excellent hygienist. She explained the steps in the cleaning process and the condition of my teeth and gums. Dr. Rikli’s examination was right on target. He identified an issue and made recommendations so I could speak constructively with my previous provider. In less then 24 hours, I initiated a positive plan with the provider and feel confident the issue is going to be resolved. I know where to get help if it need it. I also appreciated Samantha’s prompt follow through, sending x-rays to my previous provider supporting Dr. Rikli’s conclusion. I was very impressed with the teamwork exhibited at Vibrant. Thank you and I will be back in 6 months.”

“I am currently having an implant done. I had one done at a prior office and the experience here is noticeably better. The staff are very informative and incredibly knowledgeable. I have not had any problems or discomfort that I had at the prior office. Dr. Anderson is extremely talented and I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing dental care. The follow-up to procedures also lets you know that they truly care about your dental health.”

“Dr. Anderson is a compassionate, kind, and gentle dentist. In addition, I have been blessed to have Oleta as my hygienist from the very beginning!”

“When my daughter was born, she struggled with a weak and inconsistent latch, had difficulty transferring milk, and exhibited signs of a tongue tie, including lip blisters, reflux, and clicking while feeding. She also experienced full-body tension that made car rides unbearable. Dr. Anderson carefully listened to my concerns, conducted a thorough examination, and diagnosed both a tongue and lip tie, recommending a WaterLase release. She explained the procedure, reassured us throughout, and provided detailed aftercare instructions, ensuring my daughter’s comfort and successful healing. Immediately after the procedure, my daughter’s latch improved, her reflux lessened, and her discomfort eased. Over time, her feeding became more efficient, her muscle strength improved, and she was able to gain the weight she needed to thrive. Dr. Anderson’s support before, during, and after the release was invaluable, and her genuine care for my daughter’s well-being made an immeasurable difference in our lives, for which I will always be grateful.”

“Dr. Anderson is the absolute best! I have received Botox from places in the past but it never seemed to work for very long or at all. After seeing Dr. Anderson for Botox I can never go anywhere else! Truly amazing the difference she has made in how I feel about myself. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel heard no matter what. I am very lucky to have found such a caring and great dentist!”

“Prior to NightLase and NaseLase, I was an occasional mouth breather, clencher/grinder, and there were nights I’d wake up several times. Once receiving my first session, the results were instant, I was able to get the deepest sleep I’ve had in years. I have not mouth-breathed or grinded since. It’s been so incredible being able to sleep in peace!”

“Six years ago, choosing a new Dentist for our family of four was a very important decision. Clearly, This practice’s entire staff take great pride in their work. At every stage, they have always been professional and conscientious for me and my family.”
