Sealants

A dental sealant (also called a pit and fissure sealant) is a plastic, professionally-applied material that is put on the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities. Sealants provide a physical barrier so that cavity-causing bacteria cannot invade the pits, grooves and fissures on the chewing surfaces of teeth.

The latest sealant material is a one step product.  Premier® Dental has introduced Enamel Loc™, the only self-conditioning sealant!  Enamel Loc creates a positive experience by eliminating gagging and discomfort from acid-conditioning of each tooth to be sealed.  Enamel Loc also saves time by eliminating the dreaded acid-etch step.  Our patients have been pleased and cooperative!  Enamel Loc improves results by simplifying the procedure, avoiding potential for inadequate etching, bonding, or moisture contamination.  The low-viscosity filled resin has excellent flow characteristics and provides maximum wear resistance.  Enamel Loc is fluoride releasing and light cures to a natural white.  Our patients appreciate Enamel Loc self-conditioning sealant for its ease of use and excellent results.
