Dr. Sky Orion Martin is the newest member of the Martin Dentistry team. He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in neurobiology, physiology and behavioral science (NPB) from UC Davis as well as his associate degrees in engineering, math and education. He also holds a computer aided drafting (CAD) certificate from San Joaquin Delta College (SJDC). He tutored every math and science subject at SJDC and coached many students, winning awards for excellence in tutoring.

Dr. Sky is an excellent artist in his own right and has produced a number of works of art of which his family is justly proud. As the best artistic talent of all the dentists on staff, cosmetic dentistry is a passion of his. He has performed many anterior restorations with great patient satisfaction.

Dr. Sky is currently involved in advanced studies in implant dentistry with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). His interest in implant dentistry ensures that the many types of dental implants this practice has offered patients over the years will continue to be available and that maintenance on those already placed will continue for the next 40 years.

Dr. Sky is trained in single-piece screw implants and is currently training in multimodal systems, including single tooth replacement plate form implants, ramus blade implants, ramus frame implants, and Custom Osseous Integrated Implants (COII) for restoration of numerous and varied clinical cases. These cases include atrophic bone, regardless of the amount of bone loss. This can help ensure that nearly every case can be restored without the use of pre-bone grafting and long expensive and complicated treatment plans, which have the potential for complications.

Soon, Dr. Sky will also be licensed in IV sedation dentistry with the rest of the team to provide dentistry to anxious patients at the highest possible level of comfort.
