Put Your Trust in TRIOS
When it comes to intraoral scanning, DPS readers rely on TRIOS for high-quality scans that streamline lab workflows and engage patients in their oral health
Staying relevant in dentistry used to be a matter of keeping up to date with continuing education, switching to electronic patient files, and trying out new materials and techniques. But today, technology has claimed a front-row seat in the dental operatory, making the old ways of staying current a thing of the past.
While investing in digital tools may seem like a no-brainer, there’s a lot to consider—for example, cost, learning curve, and how the technology will fit into your existing workflow. And, for dentists approaching a much-needed retirement, why bother investing in the latest technologies?
“My plan is to devote 10 more years to my practice and then retire,” shared Leo Huck, DDS, a private practitioner and DPS evaluator in Wauwatosa, WI. “But one of my colleagues told me that there was no way I could go on practicing another decade without getting an intraoral scanner.”
“TRIOS really hit the spot with the technology it has, the quality of the scanning, and all at a reasonable price.”

A Scanner That Hits the Spot
Dr. Huck took that advice to heart and started doing his research on intraoral scanners—reading articles and testing out a few models at dental meetings. “TRIOS really hit the spot with the technology it has, the quality of the scanning, and all at a reasonable price,” he shared. “I can even see below the margin at times, and the scans read very well.”
The TRIOS learning curve so far has been minimal, and Dr. Huck’s assistants are able to quickly pre-scan patients before he joins the appointment. “We scan patients and show them the different facets of their teeth, so they’re seeing their own teeth from a 3D perspective. A lot of times it encourages them to move forward with treatment they were on the fence about, and they’ll say, ‘Let’s do this.’”
When it comes to getting patients on board, intuitive TRIOS software modules take engagement to the next level. For example, use TRIOS Smile Design to snap a quick picture of your patient and create a photorealistic simulation of their new smile in minutes, or use TRIOS Patient Monitoring to compare historical scans on a visual timeline display, which helps detect changes in tooth wear, grinding, chipping, and more
