The first step in any wisdom tooth removal is a comprehensive dental exam. Dr. Choi will inspect your mouth for any signs of infection and take x-rays to see the underlying bone structure of your mouth. If an infection is found, antibiotics will be required to treat the infection before extraction can begin.
Most procedures are conducted under local anesthetic, but general anesthetic can be used in some cases (usually with multiple extractions, or cases of severe anxiety). Contrary to popular opinion, most wisdom teeth removal procedures are conducted in a dental surgery office and not the hospital. The extractions that take place in the hospital are reserved for patients who can expect some kind of complication, or who have pre-existing health conditions that need special attention.
