Extra Protection for Your Smile
Dental Sealants in North Hollywood and Los Angeles
Office Address: 4725 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91602
Our Goal To Protect Your Smile
At Toluca Advanced Dentistry, we use dental sealants to protect your smile before problems start. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help block out food particles and bacteria that cause decay. They’re quick to place, pain-free, and especially helpful for children’s newly erupted molars, but adults benefit from sealants too when molars have deep grooves. As a trusted North Hollywood/Toluca Lake dental practice serving the greater Los Angeles area, we focus on preventive care that keeps your family smiling with fewer cavities and more confidence.
Why Choose Sealants?
Back teeth have pits and grooves where brushing can miss, and that’s where decay often starts. Sealants act like a shield, giving teeth a smooth surface that’s easier to clean and harder for cavity-causing bacteria to reach. Getting sealants is fast and comfortable — usually done in one visit with no drilling or shots.
"With more than four decades of use, dental sealants continue to be a popular preventive dental treatment."
The Benefits of Dental Sealants
Protecting your teeth from cavities and decay is essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Our dental sealants provide a range of benefits, including:
- Enhanced Protection: Dental sealants form a strong barrier on the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, preventing bacteria and food particles from causing cavities.
- Long-Lasting Defense: With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental sealants can provide durable protection for many years.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Dental sealants are a proactive and cost-effective measure to prevent tooth decay, potentially saving you from costly and extensive dental treatments down the line.
- Painless Application: The process of applying dental sealants is quick, painless, and non-invasive, making it an ideal solution for patients of all ages.

Patient Reviews
we’re here to Answer all your questions
While dental sealants are commonly recommended for children and teens, adults can benefit from them as well. Adults with deep grooves in their molars, a history of cavities, or teeth that don’t already have fillings may be good candidates. Our dentist evaluates each patient individually to determine if sealants make sense.
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings placed on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. They work by sealing off deep grooves and pits that can trap food and bacteria, making those areas easier to keep clean and less likely to develop decay. Sealants are a preventive treatment, meaning they help stop cavities before they start.
No, dental sealants are completely pain-free. There’s no drilling, no shots, and no discomfort involved. The process is quick and gentle, which makes it especially easy for children and patients who feel anxious about dental visits.
Sealants significantly reduce the risk of cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, but they don’t prevent all cavities. Brushing, flossing, fluoride use, and regular dental cleanings are still essential. Sealants work best as part of a complete preventive dental care routine.
Typically, sealants are placed on teeth that do not already have fillings or decay. If a tooth has a filling, we’ll evaluate whether a sealant would still be helpful or if another preventive option makes more sense.
