Personal Preference: If you had an impacted wisdom tooth removed under local anesthesia and were comfortable during the procedure, you should do well with the removal of the other three under local anesthesia. Whether or not to choose a general anesthetic may depend upon the level of anticipated difficulty and any anxiety you may have now with multiple extractions being performed in one setting or multiple visits.

Your choice: You know what the surgery is like. Many patients prefer to be asleep for the procedure. Some awake. Discuss with your oral surgeon.

The Comfort Zone: If you are one of the many people apprehensive about oral surgery, you can request sleep dentistry for your comfort. You could just sleep through your dental treatment. Sedation dentistry allows appropriately trained dentists to create a safe and comfortable dental experience.
