Dental Sealants Newton, MA
Overview
Dental sealants are an easy treatment to protect your teeth from decay and cavities. They are thin, flexible plastic coatings that can be put on the tops of your back teeth (molars and premolars). Once they're placed, sealants block bacteria, plaque, tartar, and food particles to protect from several problems, such as cavities. Dental sealants may stay on for many years with proper care, including a regular oral hygiene routine at home. They not only maintain the health of your mouth and lower the risk of dental cavities, but they may also save you from expensive treatments at your annual dental exam at Newton Centre Dental. Talk to our dental team at your exam in our Newton, MA office to help you decide if dental sealants are a good choice for you and your family.
Best Candidates for Dental Sealants
Good candidates for sealants are patients who are prone to developing cavities or tooth decay. In many cases, dental sealants are suggested for younger children and teens who may not have a regular oral hygiene routine. The application of dental sealants is a simple, fast treatment that generally doesn't need sedation or anesthesia, making it a great procedure for all ages.
What to Expect
At your consult, we will first examine your teeth to decide if dental sealants are right for you. Before the application, we will clean your teeth to remove tartar, plaque, and bacteria. Next, we will brush on the sealant and set the material using a light. After the application is set, we will check if your dental sealant is in the correct position.
Newton Centre Dental Reviews
A+ service all around from the entire team at NCD. Dr. Parent does really great work and makes a trip to the dentist surprisingly pleasant! Maddie does the most painless cleanings I’ve ever had, with a comforting helping hand from Jenny. Always a warm greeting upon entry from Ellen, which gets the visit off to a great start!
You cannot ask for a more caring and empathetic Dental office! Starting with the front desk, Ellen and Laurie (and now Woo) are not only enjoyable to work with, they have a tremendous attention to detail in order to assist you with follow-up as well as with the overwhelming world of insurance! Selecting a new dentist office is always a challenge. When I came to Newton 3 years ago I was releived to find a truly competent and caring office such as Newton Centre Dental. The experience of the staff quickly puts you at ease. The combination of Jenny as a Dental Assistant to Dr. Parent creates a "Dynamic Duo" from my perspective!! I truly feel cared for here, and that is why I will continue with Newton Centre Dental.
Dr Parent is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. She has assisted me with replacing a veneer, caps and fillings and , all with such ease, and no pain! I highly recommend her!
Dr. Nar and Priya have been exceptional and I'm finally on my way to getting my smile back thanks to Newton Dental.
Longtime pt to the practice and may changes throughout the last 2 years but todays visit with Jennie & Dr Parent restored my faith in my dental care . Happy Customer!

Follow-Up
After your treatment, you will be free to resume your day. It's important for you to develop a good home oral care plan, including brushing your teeth two times every day, along with mouthwash and flossing. You should try to avoid putting heavy pressure on your back teeth or consuming foods that are sticky. With good care, dental sealants may last for years. At your dental examination at Newton Centre Dental, we will decide if your dental sealants should be applied again.
Insurance Coverage
Dental sealants are a preventive treatment and many dental insurance companies pay for some of the cost in children. Coverage can vary, particularly in adults so we will figure out your coverage by calling your insurance company and then letting you know your costs. Newton Centre Dental takes many methods of payment and we can assist you with low-interest medical financing.
