If you’re an adult with a misaligned smile, the thought of straightening your teeth with traditional braces may make you nervous. You’ve worked hard to cultivate a professional image. The last thing you want to do is spend the next few years tied to brackets and wires.
Thankfully, Westside Dental Associates has a cosmetic dentistry solution that can help.
With FDA-approved Invisalign clear braces, it’s possible to straighten your smile discreetly, without jeopardizing your professional appearance, because Invisalign is an “invisible” cosmetic solution for straightening your smile.

Your smile is often the first thing anyone will notice about you. But if your smile is stained, chipped, misaligned, or oddly spaced, you may feel nervous about letting your smile shine.
That’s why Dr. Latner, an L.A.-based cosmetic dentist with years of experience, offers a great cosmetic solution that can help—porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are a thin, handmade cosmetic option for restoring smiles. What’s more, they’re durable, natural-looking, and also stain-resistant, ensuring that your new smile will always be as dazzling as it is on day one.

February 10, 2012
When you feel confident about your teeth, you feel more confident about sharing your smile with others. But if you have stained teeth, smiling may be the last thing on your mind.
Teeth stains have a variety of causes. Chief among them are tobacco smoking, aging, and drinks like coffee, tea, soda, or red wine. Certain medications like tetracycline can even contribute to the formation of stains.
You don’t have to live with teeth stains, though. General, restorative, and cosmetic dentist Dr. Latner provides teeth whitening services for patients in Los Angeles and surrounding areas through Zoom! Whitening.
With Zoom! Whitening, patients can enjoy a smile that’s as much...(Read More) 
No Braces Necessary
August 9, 2011
Many children growing up get braces to straighten and realign their teeth. If you missed out on straight teeth when you were a child, you’re not likely to want braces now, because the appearance of a “metal mouth” isn’t a plus for adults. However, in Los Angeles, Westside Dental Associates provides a way to get the same results you’d get from braces without anyone even realizing you’re wearing them. For people living in Los Angeles, Invisalign is a very popular solution for adults to obtain the smile they’ve always wanted.
What is treatable with Invisalign?
Anyone who has spaces between the teeth or crowded teeth are prime candidates. Invisalign can space your smile...(Read More) Save Money: Floss!

Do you understand the importance of flossing? Judging by the patients who come into my office, I’d estimate that about 90% of you aren’t flossing. I’m guessing that’s because you really don’t understand why you need to. After all, you can whiten your teeth, either here in our Los Angeles dental office, or take home whitening kits. You brush, at least at night, right? So why not just add a round of flossing and save your teeth (not to mention save money–see below).
Here are the reasons why you should be flossing:
- Flossing makes your breath sweeter!
- Flossing gets the food out of your teeth: duh!
- Flossing prevents cavities: the floss gets in the...(Read More)
