Dental Sealants

Dr. Nickolas Felten offers dental sealants to help protect the deep grooves of back teeth from decay in Maplewood.

What Is a Dental Sealant?

A dental sealant is a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, sealing out the food particles and bacteria that lead to cavities in hard-to-clean grooves. The application takes only a few minutes per tooth and requires no drilling, making it one of the simplest preventive treatments Dr. Felten offers.

How Sealants Protect Your Smile

Molar & Premolar Protection

Sealants cover the deep grooves of back teeth that are most prone to trapping bacteria and food.

Cavity Prevention for Kids

Sealants are especially effective for children's newly erupted permanent molars.

Quick, Painless Application

Applying a sealant takes only a few minutes per tooth and requires no numbing or drilling.

Long-Lasting Protective Coating

Sealants can protect teeth from decay for several years with proper care.

Ideal for Growing Smiles

Sealants are a simple, proactive step for children and teens still developing their brushing habits.

Sealant Checks at Recall Visits

Dr. Felten checks the condition of sealants at routine visits to make sure they are still providing protection.

The Importance of Dental Sealants

The deep grooves in molars and premolars are notoriously difficult to clean with a toothbrush alone. Reducing Cavity Risk: Sealants create a smooth, protected surface that keeps food and bacteria from settling into deep grooves. A Simple, Preventive Step: Sealants are quick, painless, and require no downtime, making them an easy addition to a routine visit. Supporting Long-Term Oral Health: By preventing cavities in hard-to-reach areas, sealants can help patients avoid more invasive treatment down the road.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Consult was great, service was top notch & pricing was fair.  Dr Felten and staff were a great find in the neighborhood.  I used to drive 45 minutes to my dentist for years, I wish I would’ve called them sooner.  They don’t disappoint

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a senior citizen who had a troublesome wisdom tooth that needed to come out. My experience was good and the results are great so far. To say I was cautious about the whole procedure is an understatement; but Dr. Felton and his assistant went above board to assure my comfort. Many,  many thanks.
