No: A Sinus Lift is a very delicate and precise surgery that requires a significant amount of advanced training. While there are general dentist who have sought out that level of training, most have not. Periodontists and Oral Surgeons are generally best qualified.

No: No. Very rare to have general dentist do this procedure. Almost always done by oral surgeon. Other dentists can do it if well trained.
