Tooth Fillings and Sealants in Selah, WA
-
How are sealants applied?
Sealants are quick and painless to apply. The dentist cleans the tooth surface, applies a special gel, rinses it off, and then paints the sealant onto the tooth. A special light hardens the sealant, creating a protective shield. Sealants can last several years but must be checked regularly for wear and chipping. During your dental check-ups, our team will assess the condition of your sealants and reapply them if necessary.
-
Are dental fillings and sealants safe?
Yes, both fillings and sealants are safe and effective treatments. Dr. McKay uses biocompatible materials that are approved for dental use.

How do I know if I need a dental filling?
