Dr. Les Latner has welcomed members of the West Los Angeles community since 1984. He knew that this area was a fast paced community of hard-working & highly motivated people who cared about their appearance & their health. He realized that because of their busy schedules, some people couldn't get the regular dental care that they need to maintain healthy teeth & gums.
That's why Dr. Latner decided to pursue the unconventional. He opened a practice that provides a complete range of dental services, the highest quality of dental care & flexible hours that meets the needs of the community.
