Purchasing a curing light can often be a confusing and costly process, but the light is essential for a lot of dental treatments. You shouldn’t just focus on the cheapest product, but one that matches your style of treatment. To help you select the right curing light, GPS Dent (http://www.gpsdent.com/)  decided to create a guide to help you choose the best curing light for your treatments.

It is quite common for curing light manufacturers to make some bold claims that often are not backed up in their performance in the treatment room. Completing some research prior to purchasing your curing light is essential to prevent this from happening. There can be a lot of false claims about how long you must cure for with each light and the depth at which you can cure at, so read reviews to find out what dentists who have used the curing light thought of it.

If you buy a sub-standard or a fake curing light, it can have some pretty disasterous consequences. If for example a dentist were to undercure a restoration procedure, it would mean the treatment that you have provided will not last for long and it may actually cause future problems for the patient further down the line. It would then be your responsibility to fix.

What Curing Light to Choose?

As you can imagine, there are many different types of curing lights for sale. GPS Dent believe that you should invest in an LED curing light. Sure, they may be a little more costly, but they are worth the investment. These LED curing lights make the most of the latest technology and often allow the dentist to use the light without the need for a cord. Also, in terms of weight, they are lighter to use than traditional heavier curing lights.

What LED Curing Light Should I Buy?

The LED curing light we would recommend is the LED-C Woodpecker Curing Light. This is arguably one of the best-selling curing lights and for good reason. The cordless operation makes it easier to use during your treatments, and is available to use in three different modes:

• Full
• Ramping
• Pulse

The battery life is excellent with this curing light. If you ever needed to replace the battery, it is possible to just remove it from the light to be changed.
