What Exactly Are
Tooth Filling & Sealants?
Tooth fillings and sealants are simple yet effective treatments used to protect teeth from decay and restore their natural shape and function. Fillings repair cavities caused by bacterial damage, while sealants act as a protective coating that prevents plaque buildup and future decay, especially in children and teens.
During the filling process, your dentist removes the decayed part of the tooth, cleans the area, and fills it with durable, tooth-colored material that blends perfectly with natural enamel. Sealants, on the other hand, are applied as a thin protective layer on the chewing surfaces of molars to block out bacteria and food particles. Both procedures are painless, quick, and highly effective in maintaining strong, healthy teeth.
The before and after difference is clear with smoother surfaces, restored strength, and improved comfort while chewing. Patients notice that their teeth not only look better but also feel stronger and more natural. With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, fillings and sealants can last for many years, offering long-lasting protection, improved appearance, and a confident bright smile. At GloSmile Clinic we focus on preserving natural teeth through safe, precise, and modern treatments for lasting oral wellness.
