| Dr. Aunon uses the latest dental technology to provide dental treatments that minimize pain, discomfort and decreases the amount of time that you have to spend in the dental office.
Dental treatments without pain, needles or numbness.
Dr. Aunon provides patients with laser dentistry with a revolutionary new dental device that uses laser-energized water to cut teeth. The Waterlase® system significantly improves patients' comfort in the dentist's chair: 98.5% of patients treated with the Waterlase™ system reported no discomfort during the procedure in a clinical trial.
Because it does not cause heat or vibration in the mouth, laser dentistry may ease the pain and anxiety of patients who fear the vibration and high-pitched whine of traditional drills. In contrast, the laser makes a gentle "tapping" noise. Unlike traditional dentistry, laser dentistry uses a cool-water spray to cut teeth without generating heat. Conventional drills and lasers can overheat teeth during procedures, inducing discomfort and irreversibly damaging the soft tissue or pulp underneath.
How does laser dentistry work?
- The Waterlase® system uses laser-energized water to cut teeth.
- The Waterlase® emits a laser beam that energizes a highly precise spray of air and water.
- Water droplets absorb the laser energy and become laser-energized water particles that, when directed at the tooth, rapidly remove enamel, dentin and decay/caries.

Dental restoration in just one appointment.
That is what Dr. Aunon can offer for many treatments using the CerecTM system, which is the world's only system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. Using CerecTM, you can be in and out in a single visit with a permanent, all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer. For you, the patient, this means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care.

Most dental restorative methods historically have required more than one visit to the dentist. This means that on the first visit, you get an injection of anesthesia, your tooth prepared, an impression taken, and a temporary restoration put on your tooth. You make a second appointment for a couple of weeks later, get another injection, have the temporary pried off, and have a permanent restoration put on. Dr. Aunon can offer procedures that used to require a second visit to the office in a single appointment, start to finish.

 It is now possible to take dental x-rays exposing the patient to as little as one-tenth the amount of radiation of older, conventional x-rays. Our office uses the latest digital x-ray equipment that doesn’t use film and doesn’t need chemicals for development.
Sensors instead of film are placed in the patient's mouth. These sensors are smaller than the holder for conventional x-ray film. After exposure, the image appears on a computer screen in just seconds. The resultant digital pictures are as clear as conventional film x-rays. They also provide a lot of information that was not available before.
Instead of holding up small films that are hard to see, Dr. Aunon and the patient can look at the images on a computer screen together. The image taken can be enhanced and enlarged many times its actual size.

Called “Loupes,” these high tech glasses allow Dr. Aunon to achieve a degree of perfection impossible to the unaided eye. They are the same glasses used by heart surgeons.
