Sealants

Sealants are a great way to protect against tooth decay and cavities on your back teeth (molars). These are the teeth that are most vulnerable to cavities and decay because they are used in the chewing process, and are the most difficult to reach and clean. Molars first come in at around 5-7 years of age, with a second set coming in between the ages of 11-14. It is best to have a sealant placed when the molars first come in to ensure they are protected early.

My husband and I have been going there for years now. Their space is beautiful and they create a family atmosphere that makes us feel at home. They are on time and organized. Dr. Kobayashi is also very dedicated to keeping up with the times and is constantly investing in new technology and new training.

I've been coming here since high school and I'll never go anywhere else. The office is very clean and all the staff members are the sweetest. Dr. kobayashi is amazing and super friendly. Him and his staffs always make sure that I am comfortable and that all my visits go as smoothly as possible!

I went to Dr. Kobayashi with a cracked tooth. I don't like going to the dentist but he made me feel really comfortable and he looked familiar! The office is beautiful and his staff is very helpful and just so nice. Julie is my hygienist and got me back on track with taking care of my teeth. He's generous and caring. Thank you!

To place a sealant an adhesive is first applied to the teeth. The sealant is then placed over the adhesive as a liquid, as if it is painted right onto the tooth. The liquid then hardens and creates a barrier between your tooth and any plaque, food particles, and bacteria. Sealants last for about 10 years and can be reapplied if necessary.
