Overview
Although it takes longer to see results, the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry also offers at-home teeth whitening as a more affordable alternative. At-home whitening utilizes clear plastic trays to hold the bleaching gel against the teeth. The trays are custom crafted to fit snugly and comfortably. If you choose this option, you will simply visit our office in The Woodlands, TX to pick up your teeth whitening trays. Then, you will fill the trays with a medical-grade whitening gel and wear the trays overnight while you sleep. The gel, which is less potent than ZOOM!® whitening gel, gradually removes stains from the enamel. When worn as directed, at-home teeth whitening can provide beautiful results in as little as 2 weeks. Unlike over-the-counter teeth whitening products with a one-size-fits-all approach to whitening, our home teeth whitening kits are tailored for each patient to have a brighter smile.
Treatment
At the office, the dentist will make molds of the patient’s teeth to create a custom-made dental tray. These trays protect the gums from the whitening gel, as contact may be harmful and it also minimizes discomfort and irritation during the treatment. Once at home, the patient will fill the tray with prescription strength whitening gel and leave in for a designated amount of time, typically 45 minutes, each day. Some patients may see visible results after one treatment, but most patients need 2 – 4 weeks to see their full results.
Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry Reviews
I have had Alexis my last two cleanings and she is such a dream! Great customer service and conversation. She made sure my experience was super comfortable. Looking forward to my next cleaning with Alexis!
First class treatment and service.
Great as always! Alexis is fun and really cares for her patients. She takes time to explain where there are problem areas and how to brush your teeth to address them.
I am not new to Dr. Lewis' dental practice. The doctor and the staff are very professional and friendly. I had multiple dental choices and am pleased I chose Dr. Lewis. He is a true artist of his craft. I would recommend his practice to anyone. The entire staff is great. However, I want to highly complement Alexis for her skill, patience and pleasant personality.
Visiting Dr. Guy Lewis and getting my teeth fixed has been the most transformative experience in my life. My teeth were in bad shape with quite a few missing over time. I went through restorative work with him that involved several implants done by his partner, Dr. Atabaksh, along with restorative cosmetic procedures. Frankly, I was not sure of the outcome in the end, but I’m delighted to say that the end results are fabulous! Dr. Lewis is a cosmetic dentist by training, but above all he’s an artist. With a lifetime of cosmetic dentistry experience behind him, he’s able to visualize the end product, a piece of art! No amount of technology can replace the intangible artistry and experience he brings to the table. I would wholeheartedly recommend him if you need your teeth fixed. Finally, the unintended consequences of a nice smile are priceless! You deserve a bright beaming smile and there’s no one better to do that for you than Dr. Lewis!

Frequently Asked Questions
Benefits of Home Whitening?
Unlike over-the-counter teeth whitening products, home kits from the dentist use a higher quality and concentration of bleaching agent. Whitening kits from the dentist are also custom fit to the patient’s mouth, so they are more comfortable and whiten the teeth evenly.
Safety Concerns?
Home teeth whitening kits are safe when patients follow all of the product instructions. The dentist may also have tips and recommendations to help the patient get their best results.
How Long Does It Take?
Home whitening treatments are usually worn for about 45 minutes a day, everyday, until the desired shade is achieved. Patients may use the kit for as little as one week or over a month. If the patient is not seeing the results they want, they should return to their dentist for other whitening options.
Whiter Teeth At Home
We provide our patients with a custom home whitening kit so they can work on having a brighter smile at their own pace and in the comfort of their own home. Schedule a consultation at our The Woodlands or Houston office to discuss your needs and goals and learn more about home teeth whitening options.
