A More Comfortable Way to Capture Your Smile
If you have ever had a dental impression taken, you probably remember the experience. Sitting still while bulky trays filled with impression material set in your mouth is not always the most comfortable part of a dental visit. Fortunately, modern dental technology has made this process much easier, faster, and more comfortable for you. Keep reading to learn more.
What Is the TRIOS Scanner?
The 3Shape TRIOS scanner is an advanced digital imaging system that allows us to capture highly detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums without the need for traditional impressions. Instead of trays and putty, we use a small handheld scanner to create a precise digital model of your smile. The process is quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive.
Why Patients Love Digital Scanning
One of the biggest benefits of digital scanning is comfort. Many patients find the process far easier than traditional impressions because it eliminates the discomfort and gag reflex that can sometimes occur with impression trays. Digital scans are also extremely accurate. The detailed images ensure that crowns, bridges, clear aligners, and other appliances fit more precisely, reducing the need for adjustments or repeat visits.
A Faster and More Efficient Process
The TRIOS scanner works in real time, allowing images to appear instantly on a screen during your appointment. This streamlines your visit while giving us the opportunity to review the images with you and explain our treatment recommendations more clearly. The technology also supports accurate shade matching for restorations, so crowns and other dental work blend naturally with your smile. Digital files can be sent directly to dental labs, making the treatment more efficient and convenient.
Modern Technology Designed Around Your Comfort
Every step of the digital scanning process is designed with your comfort and safety in mind.
