Yes: You can have impacted wisdom teeth removed without being put to sleep as long as you don't mind the occasional noise during surgery.

Yes: It is possible to remove wisdom teeth which are side ways or horizontally impacted fully awake. Make sure the dentist removing the tooth is experienced. An oral surgeon would be a good option.
