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
The staff was amazing
This was my first visit with Dr.Gracia and it could not have gone better. I’m always anxious about going to the dentist. The staff at Advanced Dental Care of Norton was great. Dr.Gracia and his assistant went out of their way to put me at ease, and they succeeded, no small task. Dr.Gracia went above and beyond what I expected for that visit and I will forever be grateful for their kindness and professionalism.
Advanced Dental created dentures for my elderly mother. The entire staff as well as Dr Garcia could not have been more compassionate and considerate of my mother’s age and need to expedite the process for my mother. I can not say enough about my experience with everyone at Advanced Dental.
I had severe pain in one of my top teeth they were able to get me in and fix it up immediately. This was the first time going here but my experience with Dr. nic was great !
Just had a cleaning with Jordyn. Very nice young woman. Whole office is great. Been a patient for a long time and highly recommend everyone there.
