DTS Bites

The new TRIOS 3 wireless option connects via Wi-Fi to laptops and to the TRIOS® cart, which eliminates the need for a connecting cable attached to the scanner wand and your computer.

The International Dental Show (IDS) is the global innovation driver and the leading global trade fair for the dental industry.  The most important people from the worldwide dental industry will present the technologies, products and services that will be standard in the practices and laboratories of tomorrow.

As I travel around the country, I meet so many great Dentists who are looking to be successful and do the type of dentistry they enjoy. They ask me questions like “how can I have the type of practice I have in my head” and “what can I do to be more successful?” My answer is almost always the same!

Tracey Marsh is the innovation and business development manager at DTS. A digital expert, she has been involved in the digital realm for more than a decade, first realising the impact digital would have in the dental market 13 years ago when she was integral in bringing the 3M Lava Zirconia system to the UK market.

The TRIOS^® digital colour impression solution received the Cellerant ‘Best of Class’ Award for Intra-oral scanners. TRIOS^®enables you to be more efficient, more precise and your patients more comfortable.

I am often asked by Dentists all over the country about how they can take their dentistry to the next level to meet the expectations of ther patients both now and for years to come.  My answer is always the same… continue to invest in your own learning, become better and more highly skilled and learn how to excel relationally with people.

At DTS we pride ourselves on being more than just a dental lab and we know that keeping your business going is the most important thing. Do you feel as if there is something you could be doing to give your practice that little extra push to attract more attention from the public? There are many things you could be doing to market your dental practice more effectively, which will have a number of positive outcomes!

There has never been a more difficult time to be a dental business. However with that said, there has also never been a more exciting time. With each change and development a multitude of possibilities and opportunities appear.

Digital dentistry has become the buzzword of our industry over the last few years and no one truly knows what that means when it comes to the day-to-day running of a dental practice. Most of us are already on our digital journey in our home life and maybe, without us realising, this has moved into our work life too.

It’s a very sad week in the life of our company (DTS and Core3dcentres UK), as today we decommissioned our very first Lava milling machine. Why have so much emotion about a piece of machinery? Well, because it single-handedly changed and transformed the way we worked our dental laboratory, and our thinking has never been the same again.

It used to be so much simpler when a denture was a denture and a crown was a crown. Our laboratory forms were blank sheets of paper with even room to draw a picture. However in the last few years branding has hit dentistry and will continue to drive our industry.
