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.

I hate the dentist. Hate hate, as in nerves, tears, and promising myself a treat afterwards just to get me to the office. I've been to Toluca dentistry twice now and the second time, I barely felt any anxiety. Everyone has been incredibly kind, patient, and willing to work around my issues and allergy (mint, incredibly inconvenient at a dentist's office). The noises are still scary but I know that I will be well cared for and thoroughly educated about the status of my dental health. My cleaning tech gave me specific strategies for the bits of my teeth I had been missing with daily brushing. Plus, they did the quickest filling replacement I've ever heard of! It was completely painless, they checked in with me throughout, and was overall as lovely as a filling can be. I've met both dentists at this point and both have been extremely professional and kind. I don't want to go to another dentist ever again!Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Sadaat is extremely kind, calming, and very skilled! He removed all four of my wisdom teeth, and the recovery has been extremely smooth! There is virtually no pain or swelling at all, even days after the surgery. He explained the surgery and recovery very well, and I felt little to no anxiety the whole time. I'm grateful that I ended up under his care!Posted on Google![]()

I had such a great experience! They were able to fit me in at the last minute for a dental emergency, and it turned out I needed a root canal. They even brought in an endodontist to take care of me right away. The entire team was so kind, accommodating, and made a stressful situation feel much easier. I’m incredibly grateful and highly recommend them!Posted on Google![]()

I came to Toluca Advanced Dentistry for the first time this week and had such a good experience. I'm typically anxious at the dentist, and the staff was so good at making me feel comfortable. Dr. Shahrooz was super friendly and did a good job at explaining what why he made certain recommendations that made me feel more comfortable and at ease. The dental hygienist, Rachel, was also incredible, super friendly, and explained things clearly. Overall, great first experience and I would recommend for anyone else who has some anxiety going to the dentist.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.
