Protect Your Teeth the Easy Way: Preventive Resin Restoration at Liberty Dentists
At Liberty Dentists, we prioritize prevention as the foundation of long-term oral health. Our preventive resin restoration service is an excellent, non-invasive way to protect your teeth from decay. It’s a simple trick we use to stop cavities before they even start. We put a special tooth-colored resin on your back teeth. This resin fills in all the little nooks and crannies where food and bacteria like to hide. These areas are most susceptible to plaque buildup and decay due to their natural shape and difficulty to clean thoroughly. The resin acts as a barrier, protecting these vulnerable areas from harmful bacteria.
What is Preventive Resin Restorations (PRR)
Deep pits and grooves can be found on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Such pits and grooves are termed ‘fissures’ and are usually so narrow that toothbrush bristles and streams of water are not able to clean them effectively. These form a favorable environment for bacteria to flourish, often resulting in tooth decay.
Preventative resin restorations are a dental treatment provided to help prevent tooth decay. It is a plastic like coat that is applied to the grooves of the biting surface of the back teeth. It smooths out the surface which protects the tooth from decay as it stops food and bacteria from getting in the tiny grooves.
Why Choose Preventive Resin Restoration?
If you want to avoid cavities without going through complicated dental work, preventive resin restoration is a great choice. This simple treatment seals the grooves in your teeth, adding an extra layer of protection against decay. It’s a quick and easy way to keep your smile healthy and give you peace of mind.

They usually last for many years but you must have regular check-ups with the dentist to make sure the seal is still in place. They may wear over time, so the dentist may replace or add a sealant to prevent any decay.
Following the Preventative resin restoration appointment, you may begin to eat straight away. The sealants must be maintained and regularly checked up on to check for any leakage, chipping and wear.
