Sedation Dentistry
If dental anxiety has kept you from the care you need, sedation dentistry can transform your experience. With options such as IV conscious sedation, you can relax and feel at ease during any dental procedure.
Calm, Comfortable Dental Care with Sedation Options
Dental anxiety is common, but it doesn’t have to stand in the way of a healthy, beautiful smile. Sedation dentistry helps you feel calm and relaxed, even during more complex procedures. Our practice offers inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation at all Martin Dentistry locations, and our Johnson City office additionally offers IV sedation. Whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning, wisdom teeth removal or a more involved treatment, sedation dentistry ensures you can stay comfortable throughout your visit.
We’re proud that our Johnson City office is one of the few practices in the area to offer IV sedation, which is especially beneficial for patients with severe dental anxiety or those requiring lengthy treatments. Laughing gas provides a lighter option for quick recovery, while oral sedation offers a middle ground for moderate anxiety. By adjusting sedation levels to your needs, we provide a safe, effective and stress-free experience, monitored closely by our highly trained sedation team. Let us know if you’re interested in adding sedation to your care plan!

Is dental sedation safe?
Dental sedation is safe when administered by licensed professionals. Our team is highly trained in IV and oral sedation and monitors patients closely throughout the procedure to ensure their safety and comfort.
-
What is oral sedation for dentistry?
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help you feel relaxed and at ease. It is a great option for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety and allows you to stay conscious but calm during the procedure.
-
How does IV sedation work?
IV sedation is administered directly into your bloodstream, allowing for quick and controlled relaxation. It keeps you in a semi-conscious state, meaning you’ll be deeply relaxed and may not remember much of the procedure, but you can still respond to instructions.
