Revolutionizing Dental Care With 3D Printing and 3D X-Rays

By Sonia Dilolli, DDS

The Approach At Virginia Dentistry By Design

At Virginia Dentistry by Design in Herndon, VA, Dr. Sonia Dilolli is leveraging cutting-edge 3D printing and 3D X-ray technology to transform the way dental care is provided. These advancements, embraced by Dr. Dilolli, not only enhance patient comfort but also allow for the production of same-day appliances, significantly improving the overall dental experience.

The Power Of 3D X-Rays At Virginia Dentistry By Design

Traditional dental X-rays can often cause discomfort, with patients needing to bite down on hard, awkward sensors. Dr. Dilolli has incorporated 3D X-ray technology, also known as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), into her practice, alleviating these issues. This advanced system provides a detailed, 360-degree view of the patient’s teeth, bones, and soft tissues. The process is quick, painless, and requires minimal radiation, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan—all while enhancing patient comfort. At Virginia Dentistry by Design, patients can sit comfortably as the machine rotates around their head, eliminating the need for uncomfortable bite-down sensors.

3D Printing: A Game Changer In Dr. Dilolli’s Practice

Dr. Dilolli also uses 3D printing to streamline the creation of dental appliances and restorations. Traditionally, producing crowns, bridges, and aligners would require multiple visits over several weeks. However, with the help of 3D printing, Dr. Dilolli can design and produce custom appliances using digital scans obtained from 3D X-rays. This technology allows patients to leave the office with a perfectly fitted dental appliance—such as a crown or aligner—on the same day, eliminating the need for temporary fixes and multiple appointments.
