Our practice uses a wide range of digital technologies to improve the patient experience. One of the advanced digital technologies we use is the Trios Digital Impression System.
How The Trios Digital Impression System Works
Traditional bite impressions use putty materials to capture a physical mold of patients’ teeth to guide the dental lab as they craft a restoration. Patients needed to bite down just right, hold their mouth in place over the putty for minutes at a time, and typically, dentists would need to redo the impression one or more times. Digital impressions allow the dentist to more precisely capture the shapes of teeth with just one simple scan.
These digital scans are then visible immediately on the chairside monitors. Patients and our team can examine the impressions and use advanced software to design the perfect treatment plan. With the Trios Digital Impressions system, patients spend less time in the dental chair, labs get these scans immediately, and you know your restoration will be crafted precisely to match your tooth structure.
Benefits Of Digital Impressions
The main benefit of using digital impressions is that the entire dentistry process is streamlined. In addition to the use of digital X-rays, digital impressions allow us to easily create accurate treatment plans that patients can see clearly on a chairside monitor. You are truly part of the dental planning process when we use our digital impression system.
