30 minutes but could be longer if difficult to isolate (keep saliva away).
About 5 to 6 minutes per tooth after you had your teeth cleaned.
Take care and stay healthy.
Sealants are an easy and noninvasive procedure that usually doesn’t require a lot of time. It’s hard to given an exact time because factors like the number of teeth being treated and other limitations are to be taken into consideration. For an example, sealants on four first molars may take approximately anywhere from 10-20 minutes.
Once in the chair, usually 10 to 15 minutes.
Hi usually 10-15 minutes per tooth
Sealants take just a few minutes to place.
Sealants are placed by the Dentist using a bur to slightly "roughen up" the tooth structure, then a series of materials are "painted" onto the surface of the tooth.
The process is quick, and no numbing medicine is necessary. Usually 20minutes or less, depending on the Dentist and their assistants.
