Dental shade lights provide optimized lighting for capturing accurate shade measurements for restorative dentistry and post-whitening. These small lights are directed at the patient's teeth in order to provide a more natural lighting for proper shade matching. Many of these lights use LEDs for long-lasting consistent light. They should be calibrated to provide specific color temperatures that can mimic daylight or other common lighting situations. Adding a shade light can reduce remakes by ensuring the shade selected for a restoration is the proper shade for the case.
