Dr. Haleh Karimian may recommend dental sealants if your teeth are at greater risk of develop cavities. Sealants protect your teeth, literally “sealing” out harmful plaque and food debris from the difficult-to-brush grooves and crevices of the teeth. We welcome you to call us at 408-266-4690 to learn more about dental sealants in San Jose, CA, and make your appointment with our caring dentists at Almaden Plaza Dental Office.

A sealant is a preventive dental treatment that our dentist may recommend to protect your teeth from decay. A dental sealant is made of a clear or tooth-colored resin material, which is painted onto the chewing surface of the tooth. By blocking out the bacteria and food debris that lead to tooth decay, the sealant prevents decay and cavities. The dental sealant forms a smooth surface over the natural pits and grooves of the tooth surface, which also makes it easier to effectively clean your teeth with normal brushing.
