Your Sealants in
4 Simple Steps.
Applying a sealant takes just minutes per tooth — quick, painless, and one of the most effective ways to prevent cavities in molars.
Exam & Assessment
We identify which molars and premolars have deep grooves that would benefit most from sealant protection.
Cleaning & Drying
The tooth surface is cleaned and kept completely dry so the sealant bonds properly.
Sealant Placement
Liquid resin is painted into the chewing surface grooves, flowing into every crevice.
Cure & Check
A curing light hardens the sealant instantly, and we check your bite before you leave.

Frequently
Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about dental sealants.
What are dental sealants?
Dental sealants are a thin coating of resin applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth — molars and premolars — where deep pits and grooves make them especially prone to cavities. The sealant fills in those grooves, creating a smooth surface that's far easier to keep clean.
At what age should sealants be applied?
Sealants are most commonly applied as soon as the first permanent molars come in, around age 6, and again when the second permanent molars erupt, around age 12. Applying them early — right when these cavity-prone teeth first appear — offers the most protection.
Can adults get dental sealants too?
Yes. While sealants are most common in children and teens, adults with deep grooves and no existing fillings or decay in their molars can also benefit, especially if they're prone to cavities.
Does getting a sealant hurt?
Not at all. Sealant placement is completely painless — there's no drilling and no anaesthetic needed. The resin is simply painted onto the tooth surface and hardened with a curing light, all in a matter of minutes.
How long do sealants last?
Sealants typically last several years, though this varies with wear and diet. We check them at every routine cleaning visit and can reapply or touch up a sealant if it chips or thins over time.
Does insurance cover dental sealants?
Most Canadian dental insurance plans provide coverage for sealants, particularly for children and teens on newly erupted molars. We verify your specific benefits and bill directly so there are no surprises.
