No simple answer: If you are put to sleep you won't feel anything. Even if you only get a shot you will probably not feel much. More likely, your imagination will make you interpret the noises and manipulation as unpleasant. As for post-operative pain, everyone is different. It also depends on how bad a position the tooth is in. Most patients who follow the post-operative instructions are only sore for a day or so.

It Varies: Wisdom teeth can be impacted (in the bone), partially impacted and erupted. The complexity of removing them is typically related to the level of impaction. There should be no pain during the procedure if you are properly anesthetized but afterwards some discomfort is expected. The pain level varies for everyone, but usually significant pain only lasts 24 to 48 hours.
