If a sinus augmentation is advised in preparation for a dental implant, is it a simple enough procedure for an average periodontist?

Depends: Depends on experience of surgeon. Many periodontists do this operation routinely.

Sinus Lift: The skill, experience, parameters of the specific patient and confidence of the dentist or dental specialist determines if they feel they can successfully perform the procedure. All sinus lifts are not the same, and each practitioner is different. Generally speaking for most augmentation procedures and periodontists, the answer is yes.
