Tooth decay happens when bacteria react with leftover carbohydrates in your mouth (food residue) to create an acid that breaks up the enamel and minerals in your teeth, eventually deteriorating your teeth’s layers until a cavity is formed. The most common way to treat a cavity is to remove the decayed area of the tooth, clean it, and “fill” the hole with a solution that will permanently restore it to health. Fillers come in a variety of materials from resin composites to gold.
When your teeth are in full health, our dental experts might apply a sealant to protect your teeth from bacteria and residue buildup. The grooves in your teeth are hubs for residue that help create plaque. The sealant is applied to fill in the grooves and hardened with UV light creating a shielding layer from decay. Unlike fillings, sealants wear away with chewing and represent a temporary enhancement to assist in great oral health maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Difference Between Dental Sealants And Fillings?
Fillings restore teeth that already have cavities or decay, permanently repairing the damaged area. Sealants protect healthy teeth, usually molars, by covering the grooves where bacteria and plaque build up. Together, they help prevent damage and restore long-term dental health.
How Does A Cavity Form?
A cavity forms when bacteria react with leftover carbohydrates from food, creating acid that breaks down the enamel and minerals in your teeth. Over time, this gradually weakens the tooth’s layers until a cavity develops and requires treatment.
What Happens When I Get A Dental Filling?
The decayed area of the tooth is removed and the tooth is thoroughly cleaned. The space is then filled with a durable material, such as a tooth-coloured resin composite or gold, which permanently restores the tooth’s strength, function, and health.
How Are Dental Sealants Applied And How Long Do They Last?
Sealants are quickly applied to the grooves of your teeth and hardened with a special curing light, creating a protective shield against decay. Unlike fillings, sealants gradually wear away with chewing, so our team checks them at routine visits and reapplies them when needed.
