About 3D Scanner - Digital Molding

Atelier do Sorriso is constantly investing in modern technologies that make dental treatments faster, more accurate and more comfortable. We are one of the first dental clinics in Portugal to acquire the new 3DShape. ® intraoral scanner for making digital and colored digital impressions for intraoral scanning and three-dimensional impression in color, with highly accurate color images of teeth and gums.

Comfort – the use of the intraoral scanner allows a faster and more comfortable impression for the patient, especially for those who report afflictions, reflux, nausea when using impression materials in the oral cavity,

Predictability of the results – the reading of the different shades of the patient’s teeth allows the making of restorations reproducing these same colors, leaving them with natural aspects in the overall smile. In a recent joint study, it was found that measuring the shade of Trios is more reliable than that of the human eye.

At the Atelier, nothing is left to chance!
