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
Always excellent care, caring team.
Yes! Dr. Gracia and Samer were great!I am a total disaster as a patient and they did an awesome job with an extraction and two fillings, all with me being awake.Even cleanings are painful, but Dee listened to me, addressed my concerns, and I made it through with minimal discomfort. (I am the original Sensodyne kid, okay?)The rest of the staff are really accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. What more can you ask, eh?Yes, I will be back to address some prior existing implant issues, for sure, and probably another cleaning.-Deb. 4/9/2026Update 11/5/2026 - yup, went back for a cleaning and again, Dee a great. So, I made an appointment for another one in 6 months.
I have been with Dr. Gracia for a couple years now. I walked in there 2 years ago defeated and didn’t think anyone could help get my smile back.
