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.

During your first visit with us at Westside Dental Associates, Dr. Latner will custom design your veneers to complement your appearance, addressing a whole range of factors so that you end up with results that are just the right size, shape, and color for you. Once these plans are in place, they’ll be sent to our lab, where a highly trained lab technician will craft your new smile, before sending the finished results back to us for placement.

If you’re ready to find out how porcelain veneers from Westside Dental Associates can make you look younger and help you increase your self-confidence, call us today. At our Los Angeles dental office, you’ll find the knowledge and expertise needed to help you transform your smile and your life.

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 correctly, giving you beautiful, straight teeth. Patients with a crossbite, underbite, or overbite will also benefit through the use of Invisalign.

How does Invisalign work?

Instead of metal and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-made for you that will slowly and gently move your teeth to their right position. The aligners are usually switched out every two weeks or so, as your teeth progress to their ideal place, ultimately creating a gorgeous smile. For best results it is recommended that the aligners are worn twenty four hours a day, only removed for eating and drinking, after which you immediately brush and re-insert the aligners.

Although results vary for each individual, in approximately a year, most adults have received the smile they’ve always wanted, without the hassle of metal constantly scraping the inside of their mouths and showing off a “tin grin” to the world. This is what Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry is all about!

To your dental health,
