Seeing the Light on Optimized Shade Matching

How the Shade Wand helps eliminate ambient light variables to help match shades and minimize remakes. [ compiled by Noah Levine ]

THE PROBLEM: Environmental factors make matching a patient’s tooth shade a challenge

Depending on the light in the room, the clinician’s vision and even the viewing angle the clinician is using, tooth shades can appear different, making it difficult to make a precise match.

THE SOLUTION: SHADE WAND

• The 5,500 kelvin LED light generates neutral, ambient light at three power settings
• Provides the optimal amount of light at the patient’s mouth for easier and more precise shade matching
• Eliminates color distraction and outside color sources from interfering with shade selection
• Powered by rechargeable batteries that provide up to 4 hours of full power light time on a single charge
• No warm-up time required before it’s ready to use
