Welcome to Griffith Pediatric Dentistry, where your child’s comfort, health, and happiness come first. Located in the heart of Los Feliz, we offer empathetic, modern, and preventive-focused pediatric care that empowers kids—and parents—to feel confident about smiles that last a lifetime. Led by two board-certified pediatric dentists, our practice is uniquely equipped to care for children of all needs with behavioral expertise, sedation options, and fun in-chair experiences like iPads and Disney+ streaming. From the very first visit, we’re committed to positive, trust-based relationships that grow alongside your child.
Co-Founder
Dr. Grant GleasonDMD
Dr. Grant Gleason is a board-certified pediatric dentist who believes every child deserves a fun, positive start to dental care. Originally from Canada, Dr. Gleason earned his dental degree from Boston University, completed a general practice residency at St. Barnabas Hospital in New York, and went on to specialize in pediatrics at Mount Sinai Hospital. His upbeat energy and calm approach help even the most nervous little ones feel right at home in the chair.
When he’s not seeing patients, you’ll likely find Dr. Gleason running (yes—8 miles a day!), trying out new recipes in the kitchen, or exploring Los Angeles with his dog, Pickle.
Co-Founder
Dr. Stephanie CruzDDS
Born and raised in Southern California, Dr. Stephanie Cruz brings a gentle, cheerful presence to every visit. She earned her dental degree from UCSF before completing a general residency at NYP Cornell and her pediatric specialty training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
As a board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Cruz is passionate about creating a warm, welcoming space where kids feel safe, supported, and even excited about their oral health.
Outside the office, Dr. Cruz loves trying new restaurants with her husband, playing tennis, and going on hikes around Elysian Park with their two lively dachshunds, Dodger and Sorrel.
Creating Strong Smiles
Preventive Pediatric Care
We help kids keep their teeth strong and healthy with gentle cleanings, fluoride, sealants, and smile education—designed to build lifetime habits.
Restorative Dentistry
From tooth-colored fillings to zirconia (white) crowns, we offer safe, minimally invasive solutions to restore decayed or damaged teeth beautifully.
Special Needs Dental Care
We take pride in tailoring our treatment plans to support all children—including those with sensory sensitivities or behavioral challenges—using patience, routine, and clear communication.
White Zirconia Pediatric Crowns
For little teeth that need extra support, our aesthetic, durable zirconia crowns keep smiles healthy without compromising on appearance.
Why Families in Los Feliz Choose Us!
Our Difference
While general dentists may treat kids, pediatric dentists specialize in them. At Griffith Pediatric Dentistry, we have advanced training in child-specific care, behavior guidance, and creating positive experiences. Everything—from our approach to our environment—is designed just for kids.
Board-Certified Pediatric Specialists
Both Dr. Cruz and Dr. Gleason are board-certified pediatric dentists with elite training to treat and engage children from infancy through teen years.
Gentle, Anxiety-Aware Techniques
We use behavioral guidance, child-friendly language, and calming amenities like ceiling TVs and themed waiting areas to help kids love dental visits.
Sedation Tailored for Kids
Whether it’s nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) or occasional in-office IV sedation, we offer safe solutions for children who need extra support during treatment.
Technology-Forward & Family-Friendly
Our modern, welcoming office includes iPads, Disney+, and décor intentionally designed to put young patients—and their parents—at ease.
