Pit & Fissure Fillings Treatment in Thane
Pit and Fissure Fillings are a safe and painless way of protecting your teeth from tooth decay.
The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay. Our dental experts will examine your teeth to determine which ones have ‘pits’ (small hollows) and ‘Fissure Fillings’ (grooves) on their biting surfaces. They will then apply the sealant only to the teeth that require it, ensuring the fissures are deep enough for sealing to be beneficial.
What is the process?
The process is usually quick and straightforward, taking only a few minutes for each tooth. The tooth is thoroughly cleaned, prepared with a special solution, and dried. The liquid sealant is then applied and allowed to set hard.
How long do pit and fissure sealants last?
Sealants usually last for many years, but our dental experts will want to check them regularly to make sure that the seal is still intact. They can wear over time, and the dental team needs to add or replace some sealant to be sure that no decay can start underneath it.
