Dr. Latimer’s commitment to his patients extends beyond technical expertise. He and his dedicated staff strive to create a supportive and welcoming environment where patient needs are prioritized and expectations are exceeded. “Our goal is to ensure that every patient feels comfortable and confident in their treatment journey,” says Dr. Latimer. “We believe that a positive experience leads to better outcomes.”

Continuously advancing his efforts, Dr. Latimer is an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Dental Association, Massachusetts Dental Society, Cape Cod District Dental Society, American Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (AAOMS), and the American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS).
