Shift your approach to complex dental cases with TRIOS

In this video presentation, I want to share my journey of rediscovering my passion for dentistry - a journey intertwined with challenges, insights, and the pivotal role of advanced technology for dental professionals and oral health.

Dentistry can be demanding

For years, I navigated the demanding world of dentistry, often feeling overwhelmed by the complexities and intricacies of our practice. However, my perspective transformed when I decided to shift my thinking and approach and incorporate innovative tools into my daily workflow.

This change wasn't just about enhancing efficiency; it was about challenging my and my patients' mindsets about how a dental consultation should work. The process of integrating 3Shape technology into our practice was smooth and well-supported, with comprehensive training and ongoing technical support. This has made the transition much easier and more effective.

I call it ‘dental detective work’

One of the game changers for me has been integrating 3Shape technology and solutions into my dental practice. These powerful tools, such as intraoral scanners and visualization software, have become my partners in what I consider 'dental detective work.' The tools streamline our processes and play a crucial role in patient communication and decision-making.

With these tools, we can illustrate oral health issues to our patients, making it easier for them to understand their conditions, the consequences of treatment options, and the best treatment options available. This transparency and involvement gives patients a sense of control - crucial for their confidence in the treatment process.

In my presentation, I delve into some cases that highlight the transformative impact of dental technology:

• Linda's simple filling replacement: Linda came to us asking for a simple filling replacement. However, using the TRIOS scanner, we discovered underlying issues that a filling alone wouldn't fix. The visuals from the intraoral scanner helped Linda understand why a new crown was a better solution, leading to a decision she felt involved in and satisfied with.
• Jay's incomplete implant-retained bridge: Through the detailed scans and simulations provided by 3Shape Implant Studio, we could show him the potential long-term consequences of his current treatment preference. This insight led to a deeper understanding on his part and a more informed decision about his dental treatment plan.
• Chris's tooth gap transformation: Chris wanted to address the gaps between his teeth. With 3Shape Ortho Analyzer and Clear Aligner Studio, we explored various scenarios beyond simple gap filling, ultimately providing him with a solution that enhanced his aesthetics significantly more than expected.

These tools also empower my team

Using 3Shape dental technology not only enhances patient outcomes, it also empowers my team. Training and encouraging them to utilize this technology makes them feel more equipped and confident in their roles. This empowerment translates into better patient care and more innovative problem-solving in our practice. 

Moreover, bringing such technology to the forefront of our dental clinic demonstrates to our patients the professional challenges we face and how we overcome them. It helps them appreciate the complexity and precision involved in dental treatments, enhancing their respect for the profession and trust in their treatment plans.

I’ve rediscovered my purpose

In conclusion, adopting 3Shape solutions has not just transformed my practice; it has also allowed me to rediscover my passion and purpose in dentistry. This is a testament to how embracing change and new technologies can lead to better outcomes for our patients and ourselves.
