Contact UsWhat are dental sealants?
Indentations on the top of the molars usually accumulate more food particles and tartar and are more susceptible to cavities. Dental sealants, an important part of preventive dentistry, are used to shield the molars from cavities caused by decay. These thin protective coatings are composed of a clear or tooth-colored liquid that is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the permanent molars. When they're bonded, dental sealants can safeguard the enamel and produce a more even exterior, which is easier to maintain. Dental sealants offered at Hope Family Dentistry not only help protect from tooth decay, but they can also lessen your kids' needs for fillings or other corrective care later on. Talk to our team at your regular dental cleanings at our Simsbury, CT practice to decide if you or your child might benefit from dental sealants.
Who Is a candidate for sealants?
Youths in the age group 6 – 12 are typically the most at risk for decay on the chewing surfaces of their back teeth, meaning they are ideal candidates for dental sealants. Older patients may also consider getting sealants, specifically patients who have trouble maintaining proper oral hygiene regimens or who are predisposed to tooth decay. At Hope Family Dentistry, the application of dental sealants is a convenient, uncomplicated process that usually needs no sedation. Call about your consultation, and a professional on our dental staff can talk with you to find out if you could benefit from this quick and effective service.
Hope Family Dentistry Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about this dental office and the care I received for my new top row of crowns. From start to finish, the entire process was effortless—insurance, payments, and options were all clearly explained in detail before I ever committed to treatment, which made me feel completely confident in my decision.The office staff was beyond accommodating, and Dr. Touloumi truly went above and beyond. She worked around my hectic schedule and was incredibly understanding and kind when I had to bring my two-year-old to one of my appointments—a level of compassion that meant so much to me. Dr. Touloumi personally followed up hours after every procedure and again the following day. Any time I had discomfort with my partials, I was seen the same day—even when the issue was my own doing. I genuinely felt like the entire office was emotionally invested in my new smile.Although my commute was about an hour each way, I would do the whole process again in a heartbeat because of the exceptional care I received. Dr. Touloumi’s attention to detail is absolutely mind-blowing, and as a perfectionist myself, I don’t say that lightly. My teeth look so natural that no one could ever tell—they truly look like I was born with a perfect smile.I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Touloumi and everyone at the practice, and I would recommend this office without hesitation to my closest friends and family.
Just had my first dental exam with Dr. Natalie Pesun. She was beyond lovely. Such wonderful bedside manner, very knowledgeable and asked thoughtful questions to get to know me and my history with past dental visits. The hygienist was amazing too! Kept me feeling very calm and comfortable. Looking forward to going back :)
What a great staff extremely helpful, kind. Had a little work done. It came out excellent!😁
Dr. Hope was great, but he has retired. Now Dr. Touloumi is seeing patients and is also great. The hygienists are outstanding. The desk employees are awesome. Everyone is knowledgeable and kind. This dentist office is ran by a small group of wonderful people. Happy to be a patient here.
DR HOPE RETIRED IN 2025. Dr Hope and his staff are nothing short of amazing. The office is spotless and they are practicing social distancing. Our family has gone to Dr. Hope for many years and we have been very happy with his work, his kindness and patience. I was scared to death of dentists but Dr. Hope worked with me to get over that. There is not a better dentist around. The hygienists are great, Melissa is my go to and is gentle and thorough, and fun. Going to the dentist is no longer something to dread. Can’t say enough about Dr. Hope and his staff.

What is the sealant process?
Initially, our dental team will have to assess the teeth to decide if dental sealants will be the correct solution for you or your children. To prepare your mouth for sealants, we will polish the enamel to remove any buildup, food particles, and germs from the chewing surfaces. The teeth will be dried, and a thin coat of sealant liquid will be distributed precisely into the fissures via a tiny brush. A curing light is then set on top of the tooth, hardening the sealant coating within approximately 10 – 20 seconds. Once every sealant is in position, our professionals will check your bite for alignment and provide instructions on how to properly care for your sealants.
How do I properly care for dental sealants?
As soon as your sealant placement has ended, you or your child will be able to get back to your typical routine. During the next few days, it will be vital to hold off on consuming sticky or tough foods to keep your dental sealants intact as they settle into your molars. Our dental team also urges people to develop a good oral hygiene regimen, such as flossing and brushing their teeth no less than twice each day. Dental sealants often remain in place for many years if taken care of as recommended. The professionals at Hope Family Dentistry will evaluate your teeth during annual dental assessments and tell you if the sealants need to be redone.
