Dental Sealants
Pits and fissure dental sealants are a fantastic way to shield your teeth from decay. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. At East Melbourne’s DENTL in Fitzroy, we use the latest techniques to ensure your teeth are well-guarded, making dental visits less stressful and more preventive.
Benefits of Pits and Fissure Sealants
Sealants are like a suit of armour for your teeth:
- Cavity Prevention: Sealants block out food particles and bacteria that cause cavities.
- Quick Application: The application process is quick, easy, and non-intrusive.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Sealants can protect your teeth for years, reducing the need for more invasive treatments down the line.
- Ideal for Kids: Especially beneficial for children, sealants help protect their teeth as they grow and develop good oral hygiene habits.
With sealants, you’re giving your teeth the ultimate shield against cavities and decay.
Dr. Leighton Phu and his team provided next level dental care, including a great latte while I waited. The careful examination and diagnosis of the problems were done without any rush, and included my wife and I in the conversation. The outcome for me has been excellent and even the follow up to check how I pulled up the next day was exceptional. Top class!

Teeth Cleaning: We start by cleaning your teeth thoroughly using our advanced Airflow® technology. This state-of-the-art method effectively removes all plaque, tartar, and bacteria.
2.
Preparation: The tooth surface is prepped with a special solution to help the sealant bond.
3.
Application: The sealant is painted onto the tooth surface, quickly hardening into a strong protective shield.
4.
Final Check: We make sure everything is smooth and secure, so your teeth are ready to face the world!
In just a few steps, your teeth are equipped with long-lasting protection for a healthier smile.

Sealants are ideal for:
- Children and teenagers whose back teeth are more prone to cavities.
- Adults looking for extra protection against tooth decay.
