Why whiten straight after a clean rather than later?

The timing of cleaning and whitening should follow assessment and the exact product’s instructions; a predictability advantage has not been verified here.

Is it more painful than other in-chair whitening?

A lower sensitivity rate has not been verified for this guide. Ask the treating clinician about product-specific evidence and your individual risks.

How many shades whiter will my teeth be?

It depends on your starting color and what is causing the staining, so we would rather show you the recorded shade before and after than quote a number in advance.

Will it fix crowns or fillings?

No. Whitening lightens natural tooth structure; crowns, veneers, and fillings do not change shade. If a color mismatch concerns you, your dentist can discuss whether replacing an existing restoration is appropriate. Replacement is not automatically necessary.

What it is, and why you might discuss it

Whitening and professional cleaning are different procedures. The exact Flash product and current instructions must be confirmed by the treating clinician.

How we assess whether it suits you

Discuss the condition of teeth, gums and existing restorations with the treating dentist.
Whitening does not change the shade of existing crowns, veneers or fillings.

What the process involves

01The treating clinician must confirm the product, suitability, preparation and manufacturer instructions before treatment.
02Product-specific application cycles, concentration and aftercare are not provided here pending verification.

Alternatives worth asking about

Take-home whitening in custom trays
A gradual at-home approach with a clinician-prescribed schedule and maintenance plan.
A hygiene visit alone
