Deliver Better Patient Outcomes with 3Shape Digital Workflows
Master TRIOS scanning and studio applications to provide faster, more accurate, and more comfortable treatment for your patients
With Bartek Bernat
3Shape Software Expert | 250+ Systems Installed | Trained Hundreds of Clinicians
Transform Patient Care with 3Shape Mastery
Every 0.9 seconds, a patient somewhere in the world experiences more comfortable dental treatment with a TRIOS scanner - no messy impressions, instant visualization of their treatment, and more predictable outcomes.
With 25 years in the industry and 12 consecutive Cellerant "Best of Class" awards, 3Shape has built one of the most widely adopted digital dentistry platforms. But owning TRIOS and truly mastering the 3Shape ecosystem are two different things. Most practices are only scratching the surface of what's possible for their patients.
3Shape Unite connects thousands of apps and specialized studio applications - from designing clear aligners in-house to planning precise implant cases with surgical guides, from same-day restorations to custom splint fabrication. The technology exists to deliver exceptional patient care, but it requires proper training to implement successfully.
Learn from Bartek Bernat, one of 3Shape's original employees, supporting the TRIOS project back in 2010. Over 12 years, he's installed over 250 systems, trained hundreds of clinicians, and resolved thousands of 3Shape support cases. He became an expert on Implant Studio, Dental System, and Ortho software - and knows exactly where practitioners get stuck.
These aren't polished manufacturer presentations. They're real-world training from someone who understands what the software actually does versus what the marketing promises, and how to implement these workflows successfully in your practice to benefit your patients.
