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.
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."
Protecting your teeth from cavities and decay is essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Our dental sealants provide a range of benefits, including:
Our dental professionals will clean and prepare the teeth that will receive the sealants, ensuring optimal bonding.
The sealant material is carefully applied to the chewing surfaces of the teeth, filling in grooves where cavities often start.
A curing light hardens the sealant, and our dentist confirms proper placement to ensure long-lasting protection.
We combine personalized care with advanced techniques to offer restorative, cosmetic, and preventative dental services tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking dental implants to replace missing teeth, veneers to enhance the appearance of your smile, or preventative care to keep your teeth healthy, we provide results that are both beautiful and functional. Our compassionate approach, paired with the latest technology, ensures your smile looks and feels natural, allowing you to speak, eat, and laugh with confidence. Let us help you achieve the vibrant, lasting smile you deserve.
At Toluca Advanced Dentistry, our experienced team is focused on building trust through clear communication and personalized care so you feel informed and comfortable at every visit. Our general and cosmetic dental services are led by Dr. Shahrad Shahrooz and Dr. Tina Yazdi, who bring compassion and precision to smile makeovers, routine care, and emergency treatment. We’re supported by specialists like oral surgeon Dr. Nariman Saadat and endodontist Dr. Rayan Kafri, ensuring expert care from implants to root canals. Together, we combine advanced skills with a gentle approach to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile.

A truly wonderful experience. It had been an embarrassingly long time since I’d been to a dentist, so I was really nervous to go and find out how bad my teeth were, etc… but the hygienist Yudaisy (so sorry if I’ve misspelled that) was amazing! She was so kind and gentle, took her time… I felt like I was in great hands! The dentist herself was also very kind, the front desk woman was as well. Everyone I interacted with was seriously so friendly and helpful, I now actually WANT to go to the dentist! I would 1000% recommend them to anyone and everyone! Shoot, I wish they could do my dogs teeth!Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Tina is the absolute best. The front desk team is so helpful with booking. There may be a wait for a check up, but they’ll always call if something earlier is available. We’ve been at Toluca Advanced Dentistry for about 3 years now and are so happy with the staff and service.Posted on Google![]()

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.
