Westside Dental Associates Commemorates 32nd Anniversary

Dr. Les Latner, DDS, named Chairperson of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation.

Westside Dental Associates and its owner, Dr. Les Latner, have been treating patients to experienced, personalized dental care since 1985. After thirty-two years, Dr. Latner has become one of the Los Angeles area’s premier dentists. “It’s been an honor and a privilege to help my numerous clients over the years with all their dental needs,” said Dr. Latner, who was recently named Chairperson of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation(AACDCF), which fixes the broken smiles of victims of domestic violence.

Additionally, via the AACDCF, Dr. Latner has treated a half dozen victims of domestic violence. The mission of the AACDCF is to assist in rebuilding the smiles and lives of adults who’ve suffered dental injuries from domestic and sexual violence, through compassionate cosmetic dental services and support programs. Patients are referred to the foundation by social service agencies that are aware of the program.

“This is an outstanding foundation that supports victims of domestic violence and I am honored to do my part to help them,” added Dr. Latner. “My hope is that the charity grows and gains more support, both financially and by spreading awareness, so that victims can know they have a place to go.”
