I had all four pulled out at the same time as well.
Get put under....to many horror stories with being awake.
I told them i wanted to be asleep. The worst part about the whole ordeal for me was the initial IV needle which i didn't even feel..hehe...so it was a walk in the park. But who doesn't hate needles? Just a part of any surgery.
I was lucky enough to have such a great dentist. He gave me a part of a Zynax (spelled?) to begin with, and then when i was somewhat high and relaxed, he rubbed some of this cream stuff on my arm...which numbed it, so i wouldn't even feel the needle.
I was laying on the table asking when the IV is going to be inserted and to let me know. He smiled and said it was aleady done...just awesome.
Went to sleep and woke up later..all done. Easy. Didn't feel anything at all.
I woke up in pain that night, and took a vicoden...was fine after that.
The most important thing to remember is keep that area clean for at least 3 days. Don't fuck around and be extremely anal about it. Clean the area well. My buddy didn't and had to go back for this other procedure to treat some very painful infection he got.
You'll do fine.
