Family-owned Clinic Serving Hamilton for 40+ Years

The pits and grooves present in our back teeth (molars) can store plaque and tiny food particles, which cannot be cleaned with regular brushing. Due to these factors, our molars are prone to decay.

At Fraccaro Dental Group in Hamilton, we offer dental sealants as a measure to protect your teeth from decay and damage. We have offices in Centennial and Stoney Creek Mountain for your convenience.

What Is a Dental Sealant?

A dental sealant is a thin coating of plastic that covers the surface of your molars. The sealant acts as a barrier between the food we consume and our natural teeth. The smooth surface of the sealant can be cleaned easily with regular brushing. Sealants are a good investment since they prevent cavities and last for several years.

While people of all ages can benefit from dental sealants, they are most beneficial for children who are easily prone to developing cavities. Make an appointment with our dentist to have dental sealants inserted today.

Words from Our Customers

Kid-friendly Dental Clinic

‘Staff is always really helpful and friendly. Very kid friendly, games in the waiting room and staff is very patient. Reception/admin is great, very accommodating and good with paperwork. I was having trouble leaving one day because my son was into the game in the waiting room and the receptionist noticed and discretely turned it off from behind the desk. I really appreciated the support and discrete attention!’
