What To Look Out For When Buying A Curing Light

Purchasing a curing light is a big decision, as it will affect the quality of patient care you offer. The curing light is an essential piece of kit for completing a wide array of dental treatments. We would recommend that you stay clear of the cheapest product and aim to find one that matches your style of treatment and is comfortable for you to use. To help you choose the best curing light for your needs, GPS Dent (http://www.gpsdent.com/) have decided to offer some tips on how to choose the right one for you.

There can be a lot of false claims about curing times from the different manufacturers. This is why it is so important for you to read reviews to ensure you find one that comes with good recommendations.

If you buy a product that is sub-standard or is even a fake curing light, it can have some pretty dire consequences for you and your patients. If you were to use a poor quality light, there is a chance of undercuring a restoration procedure, and in turn, this would mean that the treatment will likely cause patients more problems further down the line.

What Type of Curing Light Should I Choose?

There are so many different types of curing lights for sale that it can be hard to narrow down your selection. We would recommend that you invest in an LED curing light. They may be a bit more expensive than a normal curing light, but they are worth the money. These LED curing lights are able to be used without the need of a cord and make use of the latest LED technology. They are lighter to use than conventional heavier curing lights and so are easier to operate.

What LED Curing Light Should I Buy?

Our recommended unit is the LED-C Woodpecker Curing Light. This is the best selling LED curing light on GPS Dent - and for good reason. The cordless operation makes it a joy to use, and there are three different modes that can be used with the LED-C Woodpecker Curing Light, namely full, ramping and pulse. We also found the battery life of the curing light to be excellent. For replacing the battery in the future, it is possible to just remove it from the light to be switched with a new battery.
