You can't necessarily prevent multiple new shoots forming, but you can thin them out, which is easy when they are only just formed. 3 from a cut, incidentally, is hardly "many", indeed I would go so far as to call it "few". You should see the spiders that grow out from the pruning cuts on my neighbour's Norway maple. Or from a pruned hawthorn.
