Dental Sealants in Kennesaw, GA
Protect Your Smile from Decay
No More Cavities
Great for Kids, Teens & Adults
A dental sealant is a clear material that’s painted onto your tooth’s surface. This process “seals” the pits and grooves of your teeth, acting as a shield that blocks out germs and keeps bacteria from damaging your enamel.
We often recommend dental sealants for children and teens, as they’re usually less diligent about brushing and flossing. But a dental sealant treatment can benefit you at any age.

Dental Sealant Process
- We’ll start with a clean mouth (this is a great treatment to get at the end of your dental cleaning)
- Your hygienist will paint a thin layer of protective resin on the surface of your teeth
- Make sure you wait an hour before drinking or eating anything
That’s it! A sealant treatment protects against 80% of cavities for 2 years.
Don’t Forget to Brush!
A dental sealant treatment is meant to help protect your teeth against decay… but it’s not a replacement for at-home oral hygiene habits. Make sure you brush and floss twice a day and visit us for a routine cleaning and exam every 6 months.
More Protective Treatments Available
Our goal is to ensure taking care of your teeth is easy. In addition to traditional dental sealants, we offer other protective treatments to help you ensure a healthy, long-lasting smile.
Fluoride treatments — A natural mineral that builds strong teeth and prevents cavities. This treatment can be used and applied in the form of a highly concentrated rinse, foam, gel, or varnish.
Sensitivity treatments — Fluoride use can help reduce sensitivity. We also offer desensitizing toothpaste, bonding, and other services.

Answers to Your Questions
How long do sealants last on your teeth?
When combined with at-home brushing and flossing, the benefits of our dental sealant treatments will last for years! Dental sealants protect against 80% of cavities for 2 years and 50% of cavities for 4 years. We can replace your sealant in the future as necessary.
How much do dental sealants cost?
This painless procedure runs between $30 to $60 per tooth. Some insurance can help reduce this cost. We also recommend taking advantage of our in-house membership plan to receive 15% off your treatment. When considering the cost of a treatment, make sure to compare it to the cost (in terms of price, time, and health) of not taking care of your teeth. Preventing a problem is always cheaper, easier, and healthier!
Why do I still need to have my teeth cleaned at least twice a year if I have a dental sealant?
Yes. Although at-home care combined with dental sealants help protect against cavities, certain areas of your mouth are difficult to reach and most people experience some plaque and tartar buildup no matter how diligent their dental hygiene habits are. Professional dental cleanings are the extra step needed to keep bacteria-filled tartar from building up and hurting your gums or causing decay.
