Talk to the dentist: Based on the location of the wisdom teeth and complexity of removal, you should have a consult on what to expect.

Relatively Painless: Fortunately, modern anesthetics allow oral surgery, especially wisdom teeth removal and restorative dentistry to be done virtually pain-free and worry free. With the profound local anesthesia and IV sedation you will have no recall of the events of the oral surgery or experience any pain.

It Depends: What to expect may depend upon the number and extent of decay in the teeth to be restored, the position and development of the wisdom teeth, type of anesthetic/sedation options available, the experience and skill level of your dentist, and more importantly your level of anxiety. A consultation with your dentist would be strongly suggested.
