What are dental sealants?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the surfaces of molars and premolars, which you use to chew. Sealants shield your teeth from bacteria and food particles to the risk of cavities. Dr. Meyer and Dr. Clough recommend sealants for children and adults, especially those who are cavity-prone.

How long do sealants last?

Sealants can last up to 10 years with proper care. Dr. Meyer and Dr. Clough will check on the state of your sealants during every routine cleaning to ensure they remain intact and effective over the years.

When should I get dental sealants?

We recommend dental sealants in Decatur for patients aged 6 and older, as your first permanent molars come in at that age. Adding a protective barrier to children’s molars as soon as they erupt can help them avoid damage as they learn healthy hygiene habits, but they also help adults with deep grooves in their teeth avoid cavities in those hard-to-reach places.

How are dental sealants applied?

Applying sealants is a quick and painless process. After Dr. Meyer or Dr. Clough clean and dry your teeth, they apply a liquid resin and harden it with a curing light. The entire procedure takes only a few minutes per tooth.

Where should I go for dental sealants?

Going to a trusted professional for dental sealants in Decatur is vital to ensuring they’re applied properly and stand the test of time. Improperly applied sealants can not only fail to protect your teeth, but also lead to oral health complications, doing more harm than good. At Greater Decatur Dental, Dr. Meyer and Dr. Clough ensure precise application for long-lasting results.

They are the most competent, kind and wonderful people you could ever hope to meet.

I had an amazing experience at Greater Decatur Dental, and I would rate it a solid 10/10! From the moment I scheduled my appointment to getting checked in and receiving treatment, everything was seamless. After a difficult experience at my previous dentist, Greater Decatur Dental truly made me feel welcome and at ease. A special shoutout to Vicky, my hygienist—she was absolutely wonderful! Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, but she also made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Clough was equally fantastic, taking the time to address all my concerns and providing thoughtful, professional care. I genuinely recommend Greater Decatur Dental to anyone looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming dental team. They’ve earned my trust, and I’m so glad I found them!

I am a 52-year-old female who has struggled with snoring for most of my adult life. I heard about NIGHTLASE and found Dr. Ayer as a provider who has been trained in this. These are my SNORELAB results after only 5 treatments! It works! My husband no longer complains about me waking him up at night, and I feel more rested and alert in the morning than I have in years!

I don’t know how you can improve. Everyone is always very nice, friendly, and professional. When I go to my cleanings, etc., I feel as though I am among family members. Debbie, Terri, Dr. Meyer, everyone makes me feel comfortable and welcome no matter the reason for my visit. Terri makes sure I have samples of the recommended toothbrushes, floss, and toothpaste, etc. that is best for me. Terri does a wonderful job taking care of my dental needs as a Hygentist and makes sure I understand everything about the progress and changes in dental care. She helps me feel comfortable and even when taking the dreaded X-rays. 🤓 (When shopping in a store, there are so many choices it’s hard to know otherwise what is best for me. I appreciate Terri’s advice.) Between her and Dr. Meyer I always feel better knowing g what is going on with my teeth and what I need to do to take care of my teeth, gums, etc. Dr. Meyer, and her staff, keep up with the latest in dental care and wellness care. I feel I am getting the best care possible with her, Terri, and her staff. Debbie and her staff take care of my insurance needs and paperwork, a topic I am totally lost on. I feel very blessed have found Dr. Grant and now Dr. Meyer. Before moving to Atlanta, I had 4 different dentists. I know I will always be able to go to Dr. Meyer, no matter because regardless of time the strong foundation Dr. Grant started in dental care will continue with Dr. Meyer and her colleagues in the future. It’s kind of cool going to an all women’s dental group. Dr. Meyer is always looking to the future of her patients with her group bringing in Dr. Clough and other staff members when needed. Thank you Dr. Meyer! Dr. Grant can be very proud of the legacy you have continued.
