Learn everything you need to know about 3Shape TRIOS digital scanners used at Crossroads Dental
In the past, dental practices have used traditional X-rays and goopy impressions to help prepare certain restorations for their patients. However, with the integration of today’s technology at Crossroads Dental of Longmont, Colorado, Dr. Amy Farmer and her team now offer advancements to benefit her patients. With the 3Shape TRIOS digital scanner for 3D dental scans, we can eliminate messy impressions and, instead, offer a fast and comfortable experience for the patient in the dentist’s chair. Let’s look closely at the 3Shape TRIOS digital scanner for 3D dental scans and how it changes the patient experience in our state-of-the-art dental office.
What are dental 3D digital scanners?
Dental 3D digital scanners, such as the 3Shape TRIOS, are advanced imaging tools that allow dentists to create precise, high-quality 3D models of a patient’s teeth and mouth. These scanners use sophisticated technology to capture digital impressions of a patient’s teeth, eliminating the need for traditional dental molds or impressions. This results in a more accurate and comfortable experience–for both the dentist and the patient.
What are the benefits of using dental 3D digital scanners?
There are numerous advantages to using dental 3D digital scanners like the 3Shape TRIOS digital scanner in modern dentistry. Some of these include:
- Improved accuracy. Traditional methods of taking dental impressions can be prone to errors due to human factors such as incorrect placement or movement of the impression material. 3D digital scanners eliminate these errors, resulting in more accurate and precise measurements.
- Faster turnaround time. With traditional methods, dental impressions can take days to be processed and sent off to a lab for restorations to be created. With 3D digital scanners, this process is significantly reduced, allowing for same-day restorations in some cases.
- Comfortable experience for patients. Traditional methods of taking dental impressions can be uncomfortable and messy for patients, often leading to gag reflexes or discomfort from the goopy material used. With 3D digital scanners, patients no longer have to endure this experience, making their visit to the dentist more pleasant.
- Enhanced communication between dentist and patient. With 3D digital scans, dentists can show patients a detailed image of their teeth and mouth, making it easier for them to understand any issues or treatment options. This results in better communication and informed decision-making.
- Eco-friendly alternative. Dental 3D digital scanners eliminate the need for disposable impression materials, making them an environmentally friendly option for dental practices.
