What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is a specialized procedure that prepares the upper jaw for dental implants by increasing available bone height. At Advanced Dental Care of Norton, our dental professionals use this surgical method to help patients who have bone loss in the back of the upper jaw. This area often lacks enough bone because of tooth loss, natural anatomy, or the sinus's position. A sinus lift dental procedure gently raises the sinus floor and adds bone material to create a stable base for implants. Our team explains each step clearly and plans treatment with precision to improve long-term results. Schedule a consultation with Advanced Dental Care of Norton in Norton, MA to learn if this treatment is right for you.
What Happens During a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift procedure is performed with careful planning and modern techniques. The area is numbed, but sedation options are available to help patients remain relaxed throughout the visit. Depending on individual needs, options may include local anesthesia with oral sedation or IV sedation for a deeper level of comfort. During the procedure, our dental team creates a small opening in the upper jaw. The sinus membrane is gently lifted upward, creating space for added bone. This is known as a sinus lift with bone grafting, where bone material is placed beneath the sinus to increase height and volume. The graft then integrates with the natural bone over time, forming a stable foundation for implants. This process allows implants to be placed securely in areas that previously lacked sufficient structural support.

Advanced Dental Care of Norton Reviews
Pleasant atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Garcia takes the time to explain the proper steps for each procedure. No nonsense.
My son was born missing nine adult teeth, and as his baby teeth began to fall out, it became an emotional struggle for him. He stopped smiling and grew very self-conscious about the gaps where his adult teeth never came in. As a mom, that was incredibly hard to watch. In 2023, our dentist recommended we speak with an orthodontist to create a long-term plan to restore his smile. By November 2023, he had braces put on to begin straightening his teeth and creating space for future implants.We were then referred to Dr. Gracia at Advanced Dental in Norton, and from the very first consultation, we knew we were in the right hands. Dr. Gracia was compassionate, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process. Most importantly, he gave my son confidence and hope again.Dr. Gracia set a goal of having temporary teeth in place by Christmas—and he made it happen. Seeing my son smile again during the holidays meant everything. The entire team at Advanced Dental is outstanding. From the welcoming front desk staff to the dental assistants, office managers, and Anesthesiologists —everyone is kind, professional, and truly passionate about what they do. Thanks to Dr. Gracia and his team, my son has his SMILE back and his confidence. I am beyond grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.

I have been a patient at Advanced Dental for over 30 yrs , I can’t say enough about their incredible staff and Dr Garcia the foundation of his team is not only an amazing dentist, but wonderful caring individual I consider my friend. Thank you
Friendly, Professional and very knowledgeable. I go to Advance Dental Care, and have been for 20 years, because this staff stays on top of all the latest procedures, certified in so many areas. That knowledge allows me to put my complete trust and confidence in them. I have had my share of dental work done, and sure I get anxious, but there is never a need. Once the procedure is over, I feel foolish for being scared. I would never change to another practice.
