Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where the deep grooves and pits are most prone to trapping food and bacteria. Once applied, the sealant bonds to the tooth and hardens into a smooth barrier that keeps decay-causing bacteria out. Dr. Brandon Skenandore and Dr. Iris Skenandore recommend sealants as a straightforward, cost-effective way to protect the teeth most vulnerable to cavities. They offer lasting protection with minimal time, cost, and discomfort. Application requires no drilling and no anesthesia at all.
Sealants reduce the risk of decay in treated teeth by up to 80%, offering a significant layer of protection beyond brushing and flossing alone.
The application process is fast, completely painless, and requires no drilling or anesthesia — making it ideal for patients of all ages.
With proper care, dental sealants can protect teeth for up to ten years before a touch-up or reapplication may be needed.
Preventing a cavity with a sealant is far less expensive — and far less involved — than treating one with a filling later on.
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Request an AppointmentThe teeth receiving sealants are thoroughly cleaned and dried to ensure the sealant bonds properly to the tooth surface.
A mild solution is applied to the chewing surface to gently roughen the enamel and help the sealant adhere securely.
Our dentists paint the thin, liquid sealant directly onto the grooves and pits of the tooth, where it flows in and fills any crevices.
A special light is used to harden the sealant quickly, and our dentists check the bite to ensure everything feels comfortable and natural.
Notice any of these? Schedule a visit — early care is easier care.
A child who has had one or more cavities already is at higher risk for future decay and may benefit greatly from sealant protection.
Teeth with especially pronounced grooves on the chewing surface are harder to clean thoroughly and are prime candidates for sealants.
The first and second molars are most vulnerable to decay shortly after eruption — sealing them early offers the best protection.
Children or patients who struggle to maintain consistent brushing habits can benefit from the added barrier sealants provide.
Sealants are most effective when applied to healthy teeth — early intervention is always better than waiting for a problem to develop.
Adults with deep grooves and a history of cavities can also benefit from sealant application.
Dr. Platt is great and so is his staff. My family has been going to him since he opened business here (took over for Dr. Gibson, after his retirement). Very competent and courteous. My crown was way more reasonable than other dentists charge too. Was just looking up their phone number for a bill copy and saw the oppertunity to leave a review.View on Google
I have never been more impressed with a dental practice in my 70 years. From front office staff to the dentists, the specialists, the assistants and hygienists, they offer exemplary services and always with a smile. Their pricing is very reasonable, they have expertise in state of the art dentistry and amazing people skills! I cannot possible say enough about how happy I am to be with West Grove Dental! I highly recommend them.View on Google
As always the staff is prompt, friendly and professional. I love this dentist office and Dr Brandon and Dr Iris are very personable. Highly recommend them. And my hygienist Chloe is always wonderful.View on Google
The staff greet you with smiles the minute you walk through the door. Sharidyn is my hygienist, and she is incredibly positive and encouraging, and also very deliberate and gentle when she cleans the teeth. Dr. Brandon checked my teeth today after my cleaning. He also is so personable and thorough. Westgrove Dental is the best!! I highly recommend this group!!View on Google

They are extremely knowledgeable, professional and their work is stellar. I would highly recommend this dental service.View on Google
My first time at Westgrove Dental and it was such a pleasant experience. First of all I love the location because I can walk from my house. Every person there was so nice and kind and made us feel so welcome. I had Chloe clean my teeth and she had such a gentle touch so my experience was painless. She also cleaned my husbands teeth and he also was very happy with his experience. My whole family definitely will be coming back here!!!View on Google
Still true! Best dental care ever. I love Dr. Brandon, and all the staff. They are the best. Something a bit off-putting was that insurance person in the front office asked for a deposit for root canal scheduled 7 months from now. I will pay it shortly, but this could have waited until my next scheduled cleaning in 5 months.View on Google
Friendly staff. Very thoughtful. They offer great support if you feel nervous about going to the dentist. You don’t feel like your just another patient, they really make you feel like a person :)View on Google
Great communication they were very gentle. I did shop around and I find their prices very reasonable. By far I’ve never had a more gentle shot in my life he doesn’t hurt you at all. Fabulous!View on Google
Dr. Brandon is an outstanding dentist. He's a perfectionist and he listens to patients. He did a beautiful job on my crown and I recommend him without reservation. He also isn't a shark. He's honest and doesn't try to swindle patients as many dentists do. He is also a very chill person who is easy to get along with. His assistant Viviana is chill too. I feel lucky that I found him. Good honest dentists, who are also perfectionists, are hard to find these days. I will be a customer till I die! Trust is so important!View on Google

I changed dentists after 40 years and joined Dr. Skenandore’s practice. I could not be more happy! The entire staff made my transition easy and everyone in the office is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, kind, skillful, and most of all cheerful! I would highly recommend Dr. Skenandore and his team without reservation whatsoever. And my personal bonus is the office is a short 4 minute walk from my home!View on Google
My wife and I have been going to this practice for years, first Dr. Gibson, Dr. Platt and now Dr. Brandon. We have always had excellent care and great communication with the office staff. Chloe is a great hygienists and Dr. Brandon is also a great dentist.View on Google
I was a patient of Dr. Platt's, but he retired. Fortunately, his replacement, Dr. Skenandore, is great! He has a flexible schedule, which is great for me since I am a busy person. He explained what he would do, and why, and he did a great job with my teeth. 5 stars! Staff are all nice and becoming tech savvy. I highly recommend him to everyone.View on Google
Our whole family feels SO thankful for this practice! All four of us had "dentist phobia" from other dentists, but we have received such gentle, competent care here for years. The whole office is so kind to everyone, and again, the staff is personable and efficient. We feel like everyone here is helping us stay in good dental health!View on Google
I have been treated by Dr. Platt for several years. He is an excellent Dentist. Not only is his skill at the highest level, but he is also personable and fair. His prices are competitive, and he doesn't try to push you into work you don't need. I drive 40+ miles to visit his office, and recommend him without reservation.View on Google
