Say goodbye to traditional impressions. Trios® captures a precise, full-colour 3D model of your teeth in minutes — improving accuracy, comfort, and outcomes for a wide range of treatments.
Trios® by 3Shape is one of the most advanced intraoral scanners available in dentistry today. It combines an integrated intraoral camera with a high-speed 3D colour scanner to capture a precise digital model of your teeth, gums, and bite — quickly, comfortably, and without any impression trays or putty material.
Traditional dental impressions, while functional, are prone to distortion, patient discomfort, and inaccuracy — particularly for patients with strong gag reflexes. Trios® eliminates these issues entirely. The slim scanning wand moves gently through the mouth, capturing thousands of images per second and stitching them together into a precise, full-colour 3D model that is ready for use within minutes.
At Gentle Dental Smile, we use Trios® across a wide range of treatments — from crowns, veneers, and bridges to implant restorations and orthodontic planning. The result is more predictable outcomes, better-fitting restorations, fewer remakes, and a significantly more comfortable experience for every patient at every stage of treatment.
Trios® transforms every stage of restorative and orthodontic treatment — from the first scan to the final restoration — with speed, precision, and superior patient comfort.
Trios® captures detailed full-colour digital impressions that reproduce the exact shade, texture, and anatomy of your teeth — giving our team and the dental laboratory the most accurate model possible to work from.
The entire digital impression is captured in minutes. There is no waiting for material to set, no retaking poor impressions, and no delay in sending the model to the laboratory — streamlining your treatment timeline significantly.
Trios® eliminates the discomfort of traditional impression trays entirely. Patients with sensitive gag reflexes, dental anxiety, or small mouths find the scanning process far more comfortable and manageable.
Digital impressions are consistently more accurate than physical ones, reducing the risk of poor-fitting restorations, remakes, and the need for multiple adjustment appointments — saving you time and discomfort.
Your 3D model is sent directly to the dental laboratory in seconds via secure digital file — eliminating postal delays, model damage in transit, and the inefficiencies of physical impression handling.
The live 3D model appears on a chairside screen as it is captured, allowing you to view your teeth clearly and understand your treatment plan before any work begins. Full transparency at every stage.
Trios® is versatile enough to support virtually every treatment that previously required a traditional physical impression. The result in every case is a more accurate, better-fitting, and more comfortable outcome for the patient.
The Trios® scanning process is straightforward and remarkably comfortable. Here is exactly what happens from the moment we begin to when your digital model is ready.
No special preparation is needed. You sit comfortably in the dental chair. The Trios® scanner wand — about the size of a standard dental handpiece — is held gently near your mouth to begin.
The wand is guided carefully around your teeth and gums. It captures thousands of images per second, which are assembled in real time into a full-colour 3D model visible on a chairside screen as we scan.
Once complete, your dentist reviews the 3D model with you on screen — confirming accuracy, explaining your treatment plan, and walking you through exactly what will be created and why.
Your digital model is sent securely and instantly to the dental laboratory. Fabrication begins immediately, reducing turnaround times and ensuring your restoration is ready sooner with a superior fit.
At Gentle Dental Smile, we invest in technology that makes a genuine, measurable difference to the quality of your treatment and the comfort of your experience. Trios® represents the highest standard of digital impression technology available — and we are proud to offer it to every patient who needs a restoration, aligner, or prosthetic.
Trios® digital scanning makes every restorative appointment faster, more comfortable, and more accurate. New patients always welcome — same-day appointments often available.
