Confused Wisdom teeth near sinus cavity

I have read a lot of articles on the internet recommending people to have their upper wisom
teeth removed to forestall future problems so I've decided to visit a dentist. (My two lower wisdom teeth which were impacted had already been removed.) Upon reviewing my dental x-ray, he told me that my two upper wisdom teeth were too close to my sinus (one is horizontal while the other is impacted and tilted vertically). He also noted that my sinus were rather "ABNORMAL" for my age (30 years old) since it has already descended to my gumline. In order to avoid the risk of them getting inside my sinus, he suggested to have my second molars removed instead and recommended that I should undergo a sinus lift and have bone fillers and membranes inserted in order to "strengthen" my upper teeth. (I've researched about the procedure on the internet and found out that it was similar to having dental implants). Overall, I was quoted a wapping P208,000 (Philippine pesos) for the entire procedure or P104,000 for each tooth.

Could anyone please shed some light about my situation? Do I really need to have the bone filler and sinus lift or is it just optional? Has anyone heard of these procedures or any similar case? Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated
