Keep Your Teeth Cavity-Free with Fissure Sealants

Do you worry about your child’s teeth developing cavities, especially on the back molars? Deep grooves and pits in teeth can trap food and bacteria, making them more prone to decay even with regular brushing. Fissure sealants offer a simple and painless way to protect these vulnerable areas. At JJ Smiles Dental & Implant Centre, led by Dr Santosh Joy, we apply a thin protective coating to the chewing surfaces of teeth to help prevent plaque build-up and reduce the risk of cavities.

From our Oxenford clinic, we proudly support families across the Gold Coast, including Coomera, Upper Coomera, Helensvale, Pacific Pines, Hope Island, Maudsland, Tamborine Mountain and nearby suburbs. Our team uses gentle techniques, modern dental technology, and personalised care to ensure the procedure is quick, safe, and comfortable, helping protect your child’s oral health and support a healthy, bright smile for years to come.

What Are Fissure Sealants and How Do They Work?

Fissure Sealants are a simple, preventative dental treatment designed to protect teeth from cavities, especially the deep grooves and pits on the back molars where food and bacteria often get trapped.

JJ Smiles Dental & Implant Centre dentist first cleans and dries the tooth surface. A thin, protective coating is then applied to the grooves and hardened with a special light. This creates a smooth barrier that stops plaque and bacteria from causing decay.

The key benefits of fissure sealants include reducing the risk of cavities, protecting vulnerable teeth in children and adults, and supporting long-term oral health. The procedure is painless, quick, and effective, making it an ideal preventive solution to maintain healthy, strong teeth.

Types of Fissure Sealants

Fissure Sealants can be tailored based on the patient’s age, risk of decay, and specific teeth being treated. We provide options that best suit individual oral health needs.

Resin-Based Sealants

A durable plastic protective coating that hardens on teeth using light or chemical reaction, preventing cavities in grooves and pits.

Glass Ionomer Sealants

Bonds to teeth while releasing fluoride to help prevent decay, suitable for areas where keeping teeth dry is difficult.

Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Sealants

Combines resin and glass ionomer benefits, giving better retention than traditional glass ionomer while still releasing fluoride for protection.

Polyacid-Modified Resin Sealants (Compomers)

Blends resin and polyacid components, offering fluoride release and easy application, helping prevent cavities in susceptible teeth.

Each type is chosen based on the tooth’s condition, risk of decay, and the patient’s overall oral health, ensuring effective and personalised protection.
