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
Absolutely top notch! Takes the time with patients , explains all options, & treats you like you are the ONLY patient
This was my first visit, that was scheduled as a “consult” & it turned out they got started on my treatment! I have to say this office hands down was absolutely wonderful!!! From the front desk to chair side! Love love Dr Lewis!! He took time to sit with me without any rush & explained options to give me the smile I wanted. No pressure , & gave great detail to each treatment plan. Rachel was wonderful to me. They both made every effort to being the most comfortable! Loving my results on phase 1 of treatment !!!!!
Dr. Guy Lewis and his entire team at Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry are very professional, responsive, and caring people. From start to finish of a full-mouth restoration, I was impressed with how Dr. Lewis listened to the vision I had for the tooth shape and shade that I wanted. Dr. Lewis, Christine, Rachel, Ana, and the entire team made it happen; my teeth turned out beautifully! The office was managed very smoothly with regard to communication among the staff; very impressive. Cristine was always responsive via text if I had any questions, as I was a fly-in patient from out of state. They checked on me, via text, after the dental work when I returned to the hotel, and I am grateful for the for the genuine care they showed to me. The entire team is amazing and I am so happy to smile with my bright and beaming new teeth!
Everything was as always-- well done!
The services are the best dentistry I’ve ever known! The staff is all amazingly knowledgeable and kind. And it’s just a very 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.
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.
