Similar but...: Honestly, it is really hard to answer that question not having seen you, the x-rays of all the teeth (extracted as well as the wisdom tooth). The reason for that is twofold. First, a badly broken down or decayed tooth may post more difficulty in removing. Secondly, some teeth appear simple to take out and yet are difficult and vice versa. In general, if not impacted should be equal in removal.

Similar: If the wisdom tooth is not impacted in anyway/fully erupted, it should be very similar to your last experience of having a molar pulled. Wisdom teeth can however be partially impacted or or not fully erupted or formed which may be a bit more traumatic, but every case is different. Either way, it should not be as traumatic as you think!
