3Shape Digital Impression Technology: The Ultimate Workflow for US Dentists

In the US dental market, 3Shape TRIOS is widely regarded as the gold standard for intraoral scanning. However, owning a scanner is only half the battle. To truly maximize your ROI, you need a dental lab that speaks the same digital language.

China Dental Labo is a “3Shape Ready” laboratory. We utilize the full power of 3Shape Digital Impression Technology to receive your scans instantly and turn them into high-precision restorations without the need for physical models.

Why Pair Your TRIOS with Our Lab?

Using 3Shape technology allows for a seamless “Chairside-to-Lab” workflow that traditional methods cannot match.

1. Instant File Transfer (No Shipping Costs)

Forget about boxing up PVS impressions and paying for FedEx shipping labels. With 3Shape Communicate™, you can send a case from your clinic in New York or California to our design center in seconds. This eliminates inbound shipping costs entirely.

2. “Model-Free” Accuracy

3Shape’s high-definition scans allow us to design and mill Monolithic Zirconia crowns directly from the digital file. This “Model-less” workflow removes the error-prone steps of stone pouring and die trimming, resulting in a fit that drops in with zero rocking.

3. Faster Turnaround Time

By cutting out shipping and model work, we save 2-3 days off the standard turnaround.

Timeline: Scan Today -> We Design Overnight -> Mill Tomorrow -> Ship Back via DHL.

Our 3Shape Capabilities

We use the latest 3Shape Dental System software modules to handle complex US cases:

• Implant Studio: We can plan surgical guides and design custom abutments using the specific implant libraries you prefer (Nobel, Straumann, BioHorizons, etc.).
• Smile Design: Send us the patient’s 2D photos along with the scan. We will overlay them to create an aesthetic mock-up that matches the patient’s face.
• Clear Aligners: We use 3Shape Ortho Analyzer to stage movements for white-label aligner manufacturing.

How to Connect with China Dental Labo

Connecting your scanner to us is simple. You do not need to export STL files manually. Just use the 3Shape Communicate™ portal.

Step-by-Step Connection Guide:

1. Log in to your 3Shape Communicate account.
2. Go to “Connections” and click “Add Connection”.
3. Search for our lab email: chinadentaldesigns@gmail.com.
4. Click “Connect”.
5. Once we accept (usually within 1 hour), you will see “China Dental Labo” in your scanner’s list of labs. Just select us and hit “Send”.

The Financial Impact for Your Practice

Adopting this workflow is not just cool tech; it’s smart business.

• Lower Lab Fees: Digital cases often qualify for a discount because they require less labor (no scanning of models).
• Higher Patient Satisfaction: No goopy impression material means a happier patient who is more likely to refer friends.
