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
The best dental care with the best customer service.
I was very apprehensive when considering the process in getting a full set of teeth. You can imagine all the varying thoughts I had with what could go wrong. I must say that Dr. Lewis‘s office was very considerate and professional. He made sure that I understood the entire process and made me feel very comfortable. I have not smiled in so long because of my teeth that I was willing to go through the process of replacement. Im very happy with my new teeth. I have my smile back and a number of my friends have said I seemed to be happier. When in fact, it’s just because I’m smiling a lot more. Thank you to Dr Miracle and his entire staff. Job well done!
Every detail of this practice is so spot on!!!!!!
No negative issues at all. Easiest cleaning I’ve had in years
Alex, my hygienist was excellent. She took her time to clean my teeth and make sure I was aware of what she was going to do next.Dr. Lewis’s personnel are all exceptional and it’s always a pleasant experience.

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.
