Surface sealants are protective coatings applied to teeth to enhance their durability and appearance. These sealants create a smooth, protective layer over the enamel, helping to reduce staining, wear, and minor surface imperfections. They are commonly used in cosmetic dentistry to maintain the brightness and integrity of treated teeth. Surface sealants also provide a functional advantage by shielding the enamel from plaque accumulation and acid erosion. They are often applied after procedures such as teeth whitening, bonding, or minor restorations to prolong the results and prevent discoloration. The application process is quick and painless, involving a thin layer of sealant that bonds to the tooth surface and hardens under a curing light.
They offer a simple yet effective way to extend the life of cosmetic treatments and keep teeth looking their best.
