Trios 3 Digital Scanner
Digital scanning in dentistry refers to the use of advanced imaging technology to capture detailed three-dimensional (3D) representations of the oral cavity. Unlike traditional dental impressions, which require physical molds to create models of a patient’s teeth and gums, digital scanning uses electronic sensors and software to generate accurate 3D models.
Combined with tools like T-Scan Novus, our digital scanning technology helps ensure your final restoration or appliance fits comfortably and functions correctly. Call (312) 663-1890 to learn more about how digital scanning may be used in your treatment.
Trios 3 Digital Scanner FAQs
What is the Trios 3 digital scanner used for?

How is digital scanning different from traditional dental impressions?
Unlike traditional impressions, which require physical molds, digital scanning uses electronic sensors and software to generate accurate 3D models without the mess or discomfort.
Is getting a digital scan comfortable?
Yes, most patients find digital scanning far more comfortable than traditional impression material, since it simply involves a small wand moving around your teeth.
What treatments use digital scans from Trios 3?
Digital scans are commonly used for planning crowns, bridges, aligner therapy, and other restorative or orthodontic appliances.
How accurate is the Trios 3 scanner?
Trios 3 is designed to produce highly accurate 3D models, which helps improve the fit and function of the final restoration or appliance.
Will digital scanning speed up my treatment?
Yes, because digital scans can often be sent electronically to a dental lab, treatment planning and turnaround time may be faster compared to traditional impressions.
