A Family, Cosmetic and Laser Dentist Serving Northern Virginia since 1988
Dr. Aunon knows that the more relaxed a patient is during their dental visit, the more comfortable and successful their dental experience will be. Until recently, doctors have been able to do little to relax patients who suffer anxiety at just the thought of a visit to the dentist.

Intravenous sedation is the answer for many patients. Dr. Aunon is trained in conscious IV sedation and administers relaxant drugs intravenously to the patient, using specific protocols. Dr. Aunon monitors the patient's blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and respiratory rates continuously to ensure that the patient is completely comfortable and reacting normally throughout the procedure.

While sedated, patients are able to respond to verbal commands but they are so relaxed that they do not experience any pain, discomfort or anxiety. In fact, patients usually report not remembering much of the procedure and actually believe they were asleep throughout their appointment.
