Fissure Treatments

Pits and fissures can be covered with a sealant to prevent further decay. The sealant is a painless and harmless way to protect your back teeth and will be recommended to you by your dentist if you would benefit from an application.

The process is 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., sealing any fissures and pits so that they do not develop into cavities.

The sealant forms a smooth, protective barrier by covering grooves and dips in the surface of the tooth. Dental decay can happen if these grooves are not sealed.

The beauty of a fissure sealant is it allows us to clean the groove out many times without going through the enamel. The “bio-rim” of your enamel is left intact with a fissure sealant and the tooth stays strong.

Treatment starts from £55.
