Dr. Latner understands how important a beautiful smile is to a patient's self-confidence and positive self-image. This is why he personally meets with his patients to get to know them and learn about their goals, needs and concerns.

Dr. Latner believes that the most effective treatment plans are developed through open, thorough dialogue between the doctor and the patient. He takes the time to answer his patients' questions and carefully explain all of the proposed procedures. This approach creates realistic expectations and allows Dr. Latner's patients to make informed decisions regarding their treatment. The result is a more rewarding dental experience and bright, self-assured smiles.

Dr. Latner's treatment philosophy is based on his belief that patient comfort is an essential part of the dental experience. He and his friendly team strive to create a soothing environment where patients feel relaxed and well cared for. To help relieve stress, patients are provided with plush pillows, cozy blankets and noise-cancelling headphones. They can also watch their favorite TV shows or movies while in the dental chair. For those patients with severe dental anxiety, Dr. Latner offers various forms of sedation that help them relax and significantly reduce their discomfort.

At Westside Dental Associates, patients can choose from a range of advanced cosmetic dentistry treatments, including porcelain veneers, all-porcelain crowns and bridges, dental implants, tooth-colored fillings, Invisalign teeth aligners and Zoom! teeth whitening. To enhance results and minimize patient discomfort, Dr. Latner uses advanced dental technologies and techniques such as the Air Abrasion method, which allows him to treat smaller cavities without drills or needles.
