Here in North America, the Oral Surgeons do the complicated wisdom tooth extractions. Anesthesia is often used and they have the training for it.

If bone is involved, you will be on painkillers, often the really strong stuff; so no flying and be careful about driving.

Two of my wisdom teeth came out for cavities, but they were simple extractions and had no impact on daily activities.

The dental implants involved bone and it was a couple weeks before I was back to normal.
