Sealants

We strongly suggest this procedure for all our early adolescent patients. Not only will it significantly reduce and prevent tooth damage and decay, it may be a tremendous savings in time, money, and oral discomfort. Sealants are clear plastic coatings that can be placed on the teeth’s surfaces through a chemical/mechanical bonding procedure. It is a totally non-invasive, anesthesia-free process that remains entirely painless. Here are the benefits to having sealants:

Will enshroud and protect the tooth for 3-20 years (depending on the tooth, patient’s eating habits, and type of sealant)

Will help to prevent cavity formation when used in conjunction with daily flossing and brushing

If regularly repaired, will drastically reduce decay on biting surfaces (up to 95% over a period of 10 years). Please keep in mind that the amazing benefits of sealants will be most effective with good dental hygiene. In addition to the application of sealants, a topical fluoride treatment is also applied as a necessary preventative aid for your child’s sparkling smile and great oral health.

Both you and your child will agree that checkups at Tribeca Smiles are kids’ play!

“  Tribeca Smiles has everything you’d want in a dentist office, and it all starts with the extremely pleasant staff that greets you at the door. The environment is comforting and warm, and the hygienists and dentists take extra care in ensuring your health and comfort. The facility is always clean and calming, and I love getting my text message appointment reminders. As strange as it sounds to my friends, I always say that I look forward to my dentist visits-and I mean it.  ”
