A fast, painless preventive treatment for children and adults at Black Diamond Dental in Pagosa Springs.
Looking for dental sealants in Pagosa Springs? Dental sealants are one of the most effective and affordable ways to protect teeth from cavities. At Black Diamond Dental, Dr. Justin Nylund recommends sealants as a proactive step for patients of all ages — particularly for children and teens whose back teeth are especially prone to decay.
The grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of your molars are prime locations for bacteria and food particles to collect. Even thorough brushing often cannot reach these areas. A sealant is a thin, protective coating that bonds to the tooth surface and seals out the bacteria and debris that cause decay.
Highly Effective Prevention
Studies show sealants can reduce the risk of decay in back teeth by up to 80%.
Quick and Painless
The entire process takes only a few minutes per tooth with no drilling or discomfort involved.
Long-Lasting Protection
With proper care, sealants can protect teeth for many years before needing reapplication.
Ideal for Children and Teens
Most cavities in young patients form on the back teeth. Sealants stop them before they start.
Cost-Effective Care
Preventing a cavity costs far less than treating one. Sealants are one of the best investments in your child’s oral health.
