It is available: Just call dental anesthesiologist or oral surgeon to request an appointment for consultation and per-anesthesia evaluation. Follow their instructions.

Possible: Yes it is possible , but in most cases not necessary . Your dentist or oral surgeon would be able to advise you if it's needed or under local anesthesia is just fine.

Of course!: The levels of sedation and anesthesia is something that can be discussed between you and your oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Different areas of the country have different regulations regarding levels of sedation that can be performed in an office vs hospital setting.
