Dental Sealants in Skillman, NJ

Yes. At our Skillman, NJ office, adults whose back teeth have deep grooves, very early changes in a groove or a history of cavities have those teeth sealed, with no drilling and no numbing. Most sealant pages are written for parents, but adult molars decay in the same grooves.

It depends on how many teeth are sealed, and you see the cost before anything is done. We work with your insurance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit. Without insurance, an in-house membership plan and 0% financing through Cherry are available.

It depends on your plan: some plans limit sealant coverage by age or by tooth. We accept PPO plans and most carriers, including CIGNA, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental and GEHA Connection Dental. No Medicaid, DMO or HMO plans accepted. We work with your insurance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit.

No. The dentist shows you which back teeth have deep grooves or early changes, explains why sealing them helps and what it costs, and nothing is placed until you say yes. A tooth with shallow, healthy grooves is simply left alone.

Yes. Book online any time or call (609) 303-2005 or (609) 400-1393. At your exam, the dentist checks each back tooth and tells you whether any would benefit from a sealant.

They can chip or wear over time, faster if you grind, and they cover only the chewing surface, so brushing, flossing and cleanings still matter. That’s why they’re checked at every visit and repaired or replaced when needed. A sealant is never placed over a true cavity; that tooth gets a filling instead.

The tooth is checked first, and x-rayed when needed, so a sealant only goes over a sound or very early groove. The exam and the sealants both happen at your regular visit, so there’s no separate trip.

No drilling and no numbing are needed: the tooth is cleaned, prepared, painted and hardened with a light.
