Fissure Sealant

Bright Dental Surgery, St Johns, Woking

Fissure sealants are protective coatings applied to the grooves of back teeth, helping prevent cavities by keeping food and bacteria out of hard-to-reach spots.

Keeping your child’s teeth cavity-free can sometimes feel like a challenge, especially with all those tiny grooves and crevices in their molars where food can get stuck. That is where fissure sealants come in a simple, effective way to give your child’s teeth extra protection.

What Exactly Is a Fissure Sealant?

Think of fissure sealants as a protective shield for your child’s teeth. They are a thin, plastic coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. These teeth have little grooves (fissures) that can be hard to clean, even with regular brushing. By sealing them off, we create a smooth surface that’s much easier to keep clean and less likely to develop cavities.

Why Are They a Good Idea?

Fissure sealants are especially useful for kids and teens who are still learning good brushing habits. They help keep plaque and food particles out of those hard-to-reach spots, making it easier to prevent decay. And the best part? The process is quick and painless and can make a big difference in keeping those new molars healthy.

How Are Sealants Applied?

The application is straightforward and does not require any drilling or numbing. We clean the tooth, apply a special gel to help the sealant stick, and then paint on the sealant. It hardens quickly under a special light, and your child’s tooth has an extra layer of protection!

Long-Term Benefits

Sealants can last several years, providing ongoing protection during cavity-prone childhood. They’re a small investment in your child’s dental health that can pay off by helping avoid fillings and more extensive dental work.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Your Smile, Our Success

Our highest priority is our patients' satisfaction. We take pride in the trust our patients place in us, and nothing speaks louder than their words.

    I am very happy with this dentist. I moved to this dentist after a bad experience at my old one, which always made me feel comfortable and at ease. I moved out of the area but will still use this dentist and can’t recommend it enough.

    C Fitzgerald

    Excellent Dentist practice, always able to get an appointment quickly. Reception staff was very pleasant and helpful. Mr. Ojo gets on with examinations and treatment quickly and painlessly, with no ambiguity, knows his stuff and gets the job done. I have been visiting this dentist practice for many years in Woking and now at their new premises in St. John’s. Would highly recommend!

    M Rush

    Sadly, I am a nervous patient from past bad experiences, so it is very important for me to find a dentist who listens and makes me feel reassured. That’s exactly what I received in a caring way. I am also extremely impressed with the hygienist, who does an excellent job and leaves me with a gleaming smile. The Receptionists, Charlotte and Gemma, are both efficient and delightful.

    C Lynch

    Dr Mundakapadam has been a wonderful dentist for my two daughters (and myself). He has been patient and always explains exactly what he is doing, reassuring them. He is gentle and works quickly to avoid keeping them in the chair for long periods when fillings are required. I appreciate his care and professionalism and will continue to frequent BDS for our checkups.

    C Botha

    Amazing dental practice! I’m a very nervous patient, but I must say all the staff are great, so much so that I am returning for the third time next month! I highly recommend this practice to anyone who suffers from dental phobias or those who don’t! Thank you to you all, and not forgetting the receptionists!

    P Hunter

    I came today for my appointment and was completely and utterly scared as I have a phobia of dentists. Today changed my experience for the better. I was welcomed so nice and calmed down very quickly and easily thank you to my dentists amar. I generally could not be happier thank you again

    C Kent

    I can’t thank Dr Schibin and the whole team enough. My very nervous daughter was in for a tooth extraction. She was made to feel immediately calm and has now said that she likes going to the dentist and has no fear of returning. There was no judgment from the dentist, and everything was explained. The reception team were fantastic from the booking through to greet us.

    I am incredibly grateful to Amar Sur for the treatment I received. As a nervous patient, his expertise and personalised approach put me at ease and transformed my oral health. During my initial consultation, Amar devised a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to my needs. I am very grateful for Amar’s expertise, professionalism, and genuine compassion. I wholeheartedly recommend Amar to anyone in need of exceptional periodontal care.

    A Sidhu

    Normally, I’m nervous about dental visits, but Amar put me completely at ease. He provided fantastic service, patiently answering all my questions and easing my worries about my teeth. I highly recommend Amar for anyone seeking top-notch dental care!
