Find out what your curing lights are really doing, free.

Most curing lights in clinical use are quietly underperforming, and no one knows. Request a free CheckMARC evaluation: a CheckMARC partner visits your practice, measures every light, and you get an expert report on every light, and the cure times your materials actually need.

Why this matters in your operatory

Most of us learned curing as a count to ten and a press of a button.

Undercured composites don't fail at the chair. They come back as sensitivity, recurrent decay, and premature replacements, months or years after the appointment.

Light curing wasn't taught in school as a measurement-based skill. One bad light, undetected for a quarter, can compromise dozens of restorations before anyone notices visually.

Where the dose goes

Output measured at the tip overstates what the restoration actually receives. By 6 mm of depth, some lights fall below the minimum a material needs to cure, invisible until it fails. A CheckMARC evaluation measures both.

Request a free CheckMARC evaluation

Three steps. No lab visit. No cost to start.

A CheckMARC partner brings the lab to your operatory; your team keeps treating patients, and our experts do the analysis.

STEP / 01

Request your free evaluation

Tell us a little about your practice. We confirm a window and connect you with a CheckMARC partner near you. Your first evaluation is free.

STEP / 02

A partner visits and measures

A CheckMARC partner comes to your practice, tags each light with an ID sticker, and measures it during a normal clinic day, nothing for your team to set up.

STEP / 03

Get an expert report

Our light-curing specialists review the results and send back a per-light report: real output at the tip and at depth, and the cure time every material you stock actually needs.

What to expect

Free, no catch

Your first evaluation is free, with no contract and no obligation. We're not there to sell you anything.

A report, not a pitch

You get a measured, expert report on every light and every material you stock, not a sales call.

A specialist you can trust

We match you with a vetted specialist from a leading manufacturer partner, Solventum or Kerr, the same companies whose materials you already use.

No disruption

Most visits take about 15 minutes, worked around your clinic day. Nothing for your team to set up or clean up.

In North America, CheckMARC visits are delivered with our manufacturer partners, Solventum and Kerr.
