Lumineers and Veneers

Dr. Eric M. Meyer offers his patients a variety of cosmetic dental procedures, including veneers and Lumineers at his General and Cosmetic Dentistry in Fullerton, CA. Veneers use thin pieces of porcelain to cover the tooth’s surface and improve its appearance. They can be used to cover discoloration or staining, misshapen teeth, spaces between teeth, or other aesthetic issues. Lumineers are similar to veneers, except they are thinner, so less preparation needs to be done to the tooth. Either way, patients are extremely happy with the results.

Dr. Meyer starts the Veneers and Lumineer process with preparing the tooth. He first removes all of the decay from the tooth, making sure it is clean. The tooth is then manually adjusted in order to make room for the veneer.  After this is done, impressions are made and sent to a dental lab. After about two weeks, the final veneers or Lumineers are ready, and bonded to the teeth.

Fullerton, CA patients benefit by improving their smile and enhancing their self-confidence with veneers and Lumineers.  Patient appreciate being able to get cosmetic procedures from their family dentist. Call Dr. Eric M. Meyer if you are in the Fullerton, CA area and want to talk about getting veneers or Lumineers.

Dentures

For patients in need of a fully restored smile, dentures are a comfortable, reliable dental solution. Dentures provide patients with a substitute for their own teeth, enabling them to smile, eat, speak, and protect their oral health at any age. Dr. Eric M. Meyer has fit many Fullerton, CA patients with full and partial dentures to better their oral health. With a newly restored smile, patients are given greater confidence, security, and peace of mind.

Dr. Meyer’s General and Cosmetic Dentistry offer multiple dental options that meet the varying needs of individual patients. Conventional dentures are the most familiar form of full oral prosthetics. After all of the patient’s teeth are extracted and removed, these dentures fully cover both the top and bottom gums. They are removable and custom fabricated to meet your own needs and attributes. However, there is a healing period after the teeth have been extracted and patients are provided with a modified diet during this time.

Patients that don’t want to wait for their prosthetic choose immediate full dentures. Rather than waiting for their gums to heal, these dentures are placed immediately after the teeth are extracted. However, immediate dentures do require more upkeep as the jawbone will change as the gums heal. These dentures need to be adjusted and tightened over time as the patient’s mouth heals.

Partial dentures are the optimal choice for those that only need a few teeth removed. This solution is very similar to a bridge, but it can be removed for cleaning and any necessary adjustments. Partial dentures are a great solution for patients that need prosthetics in the back of their smile, where they can fit comfortably and are least conspicuous. 

Professional Take-Home Tray Whitening

Getting whiter teeth is on the minds of many patients who visit Dr. Eric M. Meyer in Fullerton, CA. Teeth can become discolored over time, as well as stained from things like coffee, wine, and dark soft drinks. Dr. Meyer uses a tray teeth whitening system to help patients whiten their teeth without the harsh chemicals and mediocre results home systems have. By getting their professional teeth whitening in a dentist office, they have the option for spectacular results and minimal side effects. The process is easy to do and done in two easy steps.

For teeth whitening in Fullerton, CA, patients visit Dr. Meyer for two separate appointments. The first step is getting impressions made of their teeth for custom teeth whitening trays. These are not the trays sold in stores that don’t always fit right, but custom to the patient’s teeth. Once the trays have been crafted, patients return to Eric M. Meyer, DMD for the whitening process. Whitening gel is placed inside the tray and they are fitted to the patient’s teeth. The patient is given these reusable trays and the gel, and instructed to wear them multiple times over several days. Patients are thrilled when they see that the end result is teeth that are up to eight shades whiter.

Teeth whitening with the custom tray system allows for significantly whiter teeth without pain or discomfort afterward. Some patients may experience some gum tenderness for a few days. For superior and professional teeth whitening results, Dr. Eric M. Meyer invites new patients to his Fullerton, CA practice.
