Had my bottom ones done in the 80's in h.s. in Hawaii. They did local anesthesia (shots) and I'm hard to anesthetize so it took 10 shots to go numb on the right side and 7 on the left. The shots hurt more than anything. I was wide awake during the process and could hear the cracking and breaking since they were impacted. I. watched a little of it on the reflection of the OS glasses but it was hard to focus because he had to kind of yank a lot.
I bought a waterpik, flushed after each meal except the last one before I went to get the stitches out... along with a stitches the OS pulled out a ramen noodle. lol.
Several years later I do it in So Cal, this time they knock me out before the procedure. The IV needle was worse than the surgery, but recovering was a lot slower because of the general anesthesia and I remember drooling and sleeping a lot the first day.
Overall, you won't have pain that ibuprofen can't handle (unless you're a typical guy who thinks getting a cold = dying) just use ice packs the first day and rinse often with salt water. You'll be good to go.
