Introduction
In general, the reference price for fissure sealants ranges from 80 to 400 yuan per session. However, the specific cost may vary depending on factors such as the type of sealing material used, the number of teeth requiring sealing, differences in the procedure method, additional services provided, and regional price levels. This procedure should be performed at a licensed hospital or professional dental clinic. A detailed analysis is as follows: In daily life, after completing fissure sealant application,
Generally, the reference price for fissure sealing ranges from ¥80 to ¥400 per session. However, the specific price may be affected by various factors including the type of sealing material used, the number of teeth requiring sealing, differences in operating methods, additional service offerings, and regional price levels. This procedure should be performed at a formal hospital or professional dental clinic. A detailed breakdown is as follows:
1. Type of Sealing Material
Different types of sealing materials vary in performance and cost, directly affecting the reference price. Resin-based materials offer better adhesion and wear resistance, with a reference price ranging from ¥150 to ¥400 per session. Glass ionomer-based materials are relatively less expensive, with a reference price ranging from ¥80 to ¥200 per session.
2. Number of Teeth to Be Sealed
The total price varies depending on the number of teeth sealed in each session. If only 1–2 teeth are sealed, the reference price may be between ¥80 and ¥150 per session. If 3–4 teeth are sealed at once, the base cost per tooth may decrease, raising the reference price to between ¥200 and ¥400 per session.
3. Differences in Operating Methods
Whether auxiliary tools or special techniques are used during the procedure can affect the reference price. Using conventional manual methods for fissure sealing, the reference price may range from ¥80 to ¥200 per session. If professional equipment such as a light-curing lamp is used to assist the procedure, improving the curing effect of the material, the reference price may increase to between ¥180 and ¥400 per session.
4. Additional Service Content
Variations in the additional services included in the service package can also affect the price. A basic fissure sealing package without additional services may cost between ¥80 and ¥200 per session. If the package includes additional services such as pre-operative dental cleaning and post-operative follow-up visits, the overall cost increases, with a reference price ranging from ¥200 to ¥400 per session.
5. Regional Price Levels
Price differences across regions influence the reference price for fissure sealing. In major cities or economically developed areas with higher living costs, the reference price is generally higher, ranging from ¥200 to ¥400 per session. In contrast, in county-level cities or rural areas with relatively lower living costs, the reference price may range from ¥80 to ¥180 per session.
After completing fissure sealing in daily life, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing teeth morning and night, rinsing the mouth after meals, avoiding chewing hard foods with the sealed teeth, and following the dentist's advice for regular follow-up visits to check the integrity of the sealing material.
