Tooth sealants near Wellesley
Protective sealants for healthy back teeth with deep grooves.
Patients from Wellesley can visit Ironwood Dental in Guelph to discuss tooth sealants for children, teens, and some adults with cavity-prone molars.
Why Wellesley patients ask about sealants
Sealants help protect the grooves that brushing can miss.
Families from Wellesley may ask about sealants when back teeth have deep grooves or when a child has already had cavity risk flagged during a checkup.
We confirm that the tooth is healthy and that the groove pattern makes sealing worthwhile. Sealants are not placed just because a tooth is a molar.
Once placed, sealants are checked at routine visits and can be touched up when needed.

Your appointment
What to expect at your tooth sealants visit.
Check the tooth surface
We make sure the grooves are healthy, clean, and suitable for sealant placement.
Prepare the grooves
The tooth is cleaned and prepared so the sealant can bond properly to the chewing surface.
Place the sealant
A thin protective coating is flowed into the grooves and hardened without freezing or drilling in most cases.
Check the bite
We make sure the tooth feels comfortable and explain how the sealant will be monitored at future visits.
