Digital Scanning Solutions for Your Dental Practice

Did you know that at the World Economic Forum, experts are referring to technology as the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

One of the fastest growing segments in the dental industry is the incorporation of Intraoral scanners. There are scan-only options, and there are also total scan solutions that integrate with in-office milling.

In this blog post, I would like to educate you on some of the digital scanning options we provide, and how incorporating this technology will positively impact your practice.

The TRIOS scanners by 3Shape is arguably one of the best intraoral scanners on the market. The award-winning TRIOS intraoral scanner is used to enhance patient experience, reduce chair-time and unlock the widest range of treatment opportunities. Backed by continuous software updates, upgradable hardware and add-on treatment modules, TRIOS ensures your practice stays ahead and your business grows stronger.

TRIOS makes scanning fast, easy, and accurate for dentists and assistants ensuring optimal comfort for patients and reduced chair time. As a patient myself, I strongly prefer intra-oral 3D scans to conventional dental impressions. Yuck!

With the TRIOS, you can choose to scan in full color or black and white. You can also choose whether you would like a pen-style grip, or a handle grip. You also have the ability to freely connect to thousands of 3Shape labs and other labs across the country.

Regarding full CADCAM options, my top pick is the Planmeca FIT (Formerlly knows as E4D).
